1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and shred them using a box grater or a food processor. Place the shredded potatoes in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch.
2
Drain and Dry
After soaking for about 10 minutes, drain the potatoes and squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
3
Mix in Onion and Seasoning
Finely chop the onion and add it to the dried potatoes. Season with salt and black pepper, mixing well to combine.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
5
Cook the Hash Browns
Add the potato mixture in an even layer in the skillet. Press down gently with a spatula. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
6
Flip and Finish Cooking
Carefully flip the hash brown using a large spatula, adding butter to the pan if desired. Cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.
7
Serve
Remove the hash browns from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
