1
Peel and Shred Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes using a vegetable peeler. Rinse them under cold water to remove any excess starch. Use a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment to shred the potatoes into fine pieces.
2
Rinse and Dry
After shredding, place the potatoes in a colander and rinse them again under cold water to remove any remaining starch. Then, use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to thoroughly dry the shredded potatoes, as excess moisture will prevent them from crisping up.

3
Heat Oil and Butter
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium-high heat. Allow the butter to melt completely and begin to bubble.
4
Season Shredded Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded potatoes with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to ensure the potatoes are evenly seasoned.
5
Cook Hash Browns
Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned shredded potatoes to the skillet in an even layer. Press down gently with a spatula to flatten them. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
6
Flip and Cook Other Side
Carefully flip the hash browns using a spatula. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes on the other side until golden brown and crispy.
7
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the hash browns onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot as a delicious side dish.
