Hash Brown Potatoes

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 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. 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. 3

    Chop the Onion

    Finely chop the medium onion and add it to the bowl with the grated potatoes.

  4. 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. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

  6. 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. 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. 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.
