Description
Perfectly crispy and golden hash browns made from shredded potatoes, lightly seasoned and pan-fried to crunchy perfection. Ideal for breakfast or as a side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Grate the peeled potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
- Place grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Transfer the dried potatoes to a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat butter and oil in a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- Spread the potatoes evenly in the pan and press down with a spatula.
- Cook undisturbed for 5–7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the hash browns in sections and cook the other side until crispy, another 5–7 minutes.
- Remove from pan and drain on paper towels if needed. Serve hot.
Notes
- Make sure to remove as much moisture from the potatoes as possible for maximum crispiness.
- Do not stir or flip too often—let them cook undisturbed for a crispy crust.
- You can add finely chopped onions or herbs for added flavor.
