1
Peel and Grate the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and then grate them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
2
Prepare the Onion
Peel and finely chop the onion. Set aside.
3
Drain and Dry the Potatoes
After soaking for 10 minutes, drain the grated potatoes and place them on a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture to ensure crispy hash browns.

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 dried grated potatoes and chopped onion to the skillet. Spread them out evenly, pressing down with a spatula. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
6
Flip the Hash Browns
Carefully flip the hash browns using the spatula. Add butter around the edges of the skillet. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the other side is golden brown.
7
Season and Serve
Once cooked, sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Serve hot as a delicious breakfast side.
