1
Peeling and Grating Potatoes
Begin by peeling the Russet potatoes. Use a box grater or food processor to grate the potatoes into thin shreds. Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
2
Chopping Onion
Chop the onion finely. Set aside in a separate bowl.
3
Draining Potatoes
After letting the potatoes soak for about 10 minutes, drain them in a colander and press out as much excess water as possible. You want the potatoes to be as dry as possible for crispy hash browns.

4
Heating Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2-3 minutes.
5
Cooking the Hash Browns
Add the grated potatoes and chopped onion to the hot skillet. Spread them out evenly and press down with a spatula. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional garlic powder and paprika if using. Cook without stirring for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
6
Flipping the Hash Browns
Carefully flip the hash browns in sections using a spatula. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the second side is golden brown and crispy.
7
Garnishing
Once fully cooked, remove the hash browns from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
