No, don't soak potatoes in water after shredding. The potato starch soaked in water is soaked out and will not form when fried. So shredded potatoes can be made into cakes directly as long as they are not soaked in water. Here are some practices:

Preparation materials: potato 1, carrot, onion, egg 1, chopped green onion, salt and pepper.

Production steps:

1, potatoes wipe filaments. Dice onions and carrots, chopped green onion and shredded potatoes can't be washed. Soaked shredded potatoes lose starch and will not form when fried. It's loose

2. Stir all the raw materials evenly. Drain the water and add the egg mixture.

3. Put the hot oil in the pot and fry until golden brown, then turn over and fry until golden brown.

4. This practice is crisp outside and soft inside. If you like crispness, you can fry it for a long time on low heat, and sprinkle with fine salt and black pepper when you take it out.

5. Eat while it's hot. The shell is not brittle when it is cold.
