1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Use a box grater or a food processor to shred the potatoes into thin strips.
2
Rinse and Dry
Rinse the shredded potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to ensure they are as dry as possible.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but doesn't smoke.
4
Cook the Onions
Finely chop the onion and add it to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.
5
Add the Potatoes
Carefully add the shredded potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out evenly in the pan.
6
Season
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and optional paprika and garlic powder over the potatoes. Stir gently to combine.
7
Cook Until Crispy
Cook for about 10-15 minutes without stirring, allowing the bottom to become golden brown and crispy. Once browned, flip the hash browns in sections using a spatula and cook the other side for another 10-15 minutes until crispy.
8
Serve
Once both sides are crispy and golden brown, remove the hash browns from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately while hot.
