1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Grate them using a box grater or food processor, then place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch. Let them soak for about 10 minutes.
2
Prepare the Onion
Peel and finely chop the onion. Set aside.

3
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the grated potatoes and rinse them under cold water. Spread them on a clean kitchen towel and pat them dry to remove as much moisture as possible.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat 1 cup of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5
Cook the Hash Browns
Add the grated potatoes evenly in the skillet. Press them down slightly with a spatula. Sprinkle the chopped onion on top and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
6
Flip the Hash Browns
Using a large plate, carefully flip the hash browns over. Add butter to the skillet and let it melt. Slide the hash browns back into the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown on the other side.
7
Serve
Once both sides are crispy and golden, remove the hash browns from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot.
