Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Peel Potatoes

    Thoroughly wash the Russet potatoes under running water. Peel the skin off using a vegetable peeler.

  2. 2

    Shred the Potatoes

    Using a box grater or a food processor, shred the peeled potatoes into a large bowl. If using a food processor, utilize the shredding attachment for best results.

  3. 3

    Soak the Shredded Potatoes

    Place the shredded potatoes in a bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes. This will help remove excess starch, resulting in crispier hashbrowns.

  4. 4

    Drain and Dry

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and place them on a clean kitchen towel. Pat dry to remove as much moisture as possible.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Make sure the oil is hot enough to sizzle when you add the potatoes.

  2. 6

    Add the Shredded Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried shredded potatoes to the hot oil in an even layer. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; if necessary, cook in batches.

  3. 7

    Season the Potatoes

    Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and any optional seasonings (onion powder, garlic powder, paprika) over the potatoes. Stir gently to mix.

  4. 8

    Cook the Hashbrowns

    Cook the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip them carefully.

  5. 9

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the hashbrowns to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
