Prep the Potatoes

Prep the Onion
Finely chop the onion and set aside.

Cook the Hash Browns
Carefully add the potato mixture to the skillet in an even layer. Press down lightly with a spatula. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Flip the hash browns in sections and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
