1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl.
2
Rinse and Drain
Rinse the grated potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch. Drain well in a colander and press out as much moisture as possible with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
3
Chop the Onion
Finely chop the medium onion and add it to the bowl with the grated potatoes.
4
Mix Seasonings
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the grated potatoes and onions, then stir to combine thoroughly.
5
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
6
Cook the Hash Browns
Carefully add the potato mixture to the hot oil, spreading it evenly across the pan. Press down gently with a spatula to form a compact layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
7
Flip the Hash Browns
Using a large plate, carefully flip the hash browns over. Slide the uncooked side back into the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until both sides are crispy and golden brown.
8
Serve
Remove the hash brown potatoes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot as a side dish or breakfast item.
