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 and cover them with cold water to prevent browning.
2
Grate the Onion
Peel and grate the onion. Add the grated onion to the bowl with the grated potatoes, mixing them together.
3
Drain and Dry
After soaking for about 10 minutes, drain the potatoes and onion mixture in a colander. Press the mixture firmly to remove as much excess water as possible. You want the mixture to be as dry as possible for crispy hash browns.

4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
5
Add the Butter
Once the oil is hot, add the butter and let it melt, mixing it with the oil.
6
Cook the Hash Browns
Spread the grated potato mixture evenly in the skillet. Press down gently with a spatula to form a compact layer. Season with salt and black pepper.
7
Fry Until Golden
Cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully using a large spatula, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes on the other side.
8
Serve
Once both sides are crispy and golden, remove the hash browns from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately.
