Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the potatoes and place them on a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Cook the Hash Browns
Once the oil is hot, add the potato mixture in an even layer. Press down gently with a spatula. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the hash browns and cook for another 5-7 minutes until both sides are crispy and golden.
