Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Drain and Dry

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.

  3. 3

    Finely Chop the Onion

    Finely chop the medium onion and add it to the dried potatoes.

  4. 4

    Season the Mixture

    Add salt and black pepper to the potato and onion mixture, and stir to combine evenly.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  6. 6

    Cook the Hash Browns

    Add the potato mixture to the skillet, pressing down gently to create an even layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Flip and Finish Cooking

    Carefully flip the hash browns using a large spatula. Add butter to the skillet and let it melt. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the other side is golden brown and crispy.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the hash browns to a serving plate and serve hot, optionally with additional toppings like sour cream or chives.
