1
Peel and Grate Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and then use a box grater or food processor to shred them into fine pieces. Place the grated potatoes into a large bowl.
2
Rinse and Drain
Fill the bowl with cold water to rinse off excess starch. Let the potatoes sit for about 5 minutes, then drain them in a colander and press out as much water as possible.
3
Season Potatoes
Add the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the drained potatoes. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

4
Heat the Oil and Butter
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5
Cook the Hash Browns
Add the seasoned grated potatoes to the skillet in an even layer. Press down with a spatula to compact them. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
6
Flip and Finish Cooking
Carefully flip the hash browns using the spatula. Cook for another 5-7 minutes on the other side until golden brown. If necessary, add a little more oil or butter to the skillet.
7
Serve
Once cooked through and crispy, remove the hash browns from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve hot.
