Method
Preparation
- 1
Wash and Peel Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes under cold water. Peel the skin off using a vegetable peeler.
- 2
Grate the Potatoes
Using a box grater or a food processor, grate the peeled potatoes into a large bowl. This will give you the classic hash brown texture.
- 3
Rinse and Drain
Place the grated potatoes in a colander and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch. Let them drain for about 10 minutes.
- 4
Dry the Potatoes
After draining, use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to pat the grated potatoes dry. Removing moisture is key for crispy hash browns.

Serve
Remove the hash browns from the skillet and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot as a breakfast side dish.
