Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and grate the russet potatoes. Transfer them to a clean kitchen towel, wrap them, and squeeze to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, finely chopped green onions, all-purpose flour, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Form and Cook the Hashbrowns

    Using a scoop or your hands, form the potato mixture into small patties. Carefully place them in the hot oil and flatten them slightly with a spatula. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the smashbrowns from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
