Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

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

  2. 2

    Prep the Onion (Optional)

    If using onion, finely chop the onion and mix it with the grated potatoes.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Cook the Hash Browns

    Spread the grated potato mixture evenly in the skillet. Press down with a spatula to form a compact layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side, until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Flip the Hash Browns

    Carefully flip the hash browns using a large spatula. Cook for another 5-7 minutes on the other side until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Season and Serve

    Remove the hash browns from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve hot.
