1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Rinse the grated potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch and then drain thoroughly.
2
Squeeze out Moisture
Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for getting crispy hash browns.
3
Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5
Cook the Hash Browns
Add the potato mixture in an even layer to the skillet. Press down with a spatula to flatten. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes.
6
Add Butter
In the last few minutes of cooking, add butter to the skillet to enhance the flavor. Allow it to melt and baste the hash browns with the melted butter.
7
Serve
Once both sides are crispy and golden, remove from the skillet and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade hash browns!
