Hash Brown Potatoes Ingredients
Method
Hash Brown Potatoes Directions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Rinse the grated potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch and then drain well.
- 2
Squeeze Out Excess Moisture
Using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated potatoes. This step is crucial for achieving crispy hash browns.
- 3
Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- 4
Cook the Hash Browns
Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potato mixture in an even layer, pressing down gently with a spatula.
- 5
Fry Until Golden Brown
Cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Flip the hash browns carefully and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes on the other side.
- 6
Serve
Once both sides are crispy and golden, remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
