Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Peel and Grate Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Soak Grated Potatoes

    Fill the bowl with cold water and let the grated potatoes soak for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve a crispier texture.

  3. 3

    Drain and Dry

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

  4. 4

    Chop Onion

    Finely chop the onion and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Heat Oil and Butter

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium heat until hot.

  2. 6

    Sauté Onion

    Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until translucent.

  3. 7

    Cook Hash Browns

    Add the grated and dried potatoes to the skillet, spreading them evenly. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side until golden brown.

  4. 8

    Flip and Finish Cooking

    Carefully flip the hash browns using a spatula and cook for another 5-7 minutes until both sides are crispy and golden brown.
