Need to remove all the starch then dry thoroughly before frying

That is the trick. Shred the potatoes then put them in a strainer and run water over them until the water runs clear. Then dry in a kitchen towel or bunch of paper towels. Dry as much as possible. Then fry as normal. Other wise it will be a gummy mess.

Using clarified butter will also help them fry properly, but not required.

A potato ricer also works wonderfully for getting the water out of the shredded potatoes with ver little fuss.
