• Meanwhile, peel potato and grate on the large holes of a box grater. Transfer to a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch; drain well and pat dry. Transfer potato to a medium bowl. Add garlic powder, ¾ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper and toss to coat.
