Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch. Let them soak for about 10 minutes.
- 2
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the grated potatoes and rinse them under cold water. Use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for crispy hashbrowns.
- 3
Chop the Onion
Finely chop the onion and set aside.
Cooking

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Fry Until Golden Brown
Cook for about 5-7 minutes without stirring, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the hashbrowns in sections and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes on the other side.

Add Cheese (Optional)
If using shredded cheddar cheese, sprinkle it on top of the hashbrowns during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

Remove and Serve
Once both sides are crispy and golden brown, remove the hashbrowns from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.
