Hashbrowns Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel the russet potatoes and shred them using a box grater or a food processor. Rinse the shredded potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Optional Onion Preparation

   If using, finely chop the onion.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

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

4. 4

   Cook the Hashbrowns

   Add the shredded potatoes (and onion, if using) to the skillet in an even layer. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

5. 5

   Flip and Finish Cooking

   Using a spatula, flip the hashbrowns over in sections and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the other side is also golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels if needed. Serve hot.
