Hash Browns Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Drain and Dry

    After soaking for about 10 minutes, drain the potatoes and place them on a clean kitchen towel. Pat them dry to remove as much moisture as possible.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Onion

    Finely chop the onion and set aside.

  4. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  6. 6

    Cook the Hash Browns

    Scoop about 1/2 cup of the potato mixture into the hot oil and flatten it with a spatula. Repeat with the remaining mixture, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the hash browns and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
