1
Prep the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl of cold water to remove excess starch. Let them soak for about 10 minutes.
2
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the grated potatoes and rinse them under cold water. Use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
3
Prepare the Onion
Finely chop the onion and add it to the drained potatoes. Season with salt and black pepper, and mix well.
4
Cook the Hash Browns
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil or butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potato mixture in an even layer. Cook without stirring for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
5
Flip and Finish
Carefully flip the hash browns using a spatula. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the other side is also golden brown. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels if necessary.
6
Serve
Serve hot with your favorite breakfast sides or toppings.
