1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water to soak for about 10 minutes. This helps remove excess starch.
2
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the potatoes and place them on a clean kitchen towel. Pat them dry thoroughly to remove any excess moisture, which helps achieve crispiness.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
4
Cook the Onions and Garlic
Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
5
Add the Potatoes
Carefully add the grated and dried potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out evenly. Season with salt and black pepper.
6
Cook the Hash Browns
Let the potatoes cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown on the bottom. Then, using a spatula, flip the potatoes in sections and cook for another 5-7 minutes until they are crispy and golden all over.
7
Serve
Once cooked, remove the hash browns from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Garnish with chopped parsley and shredded cheese if desired. Serve hot.
