Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes into a large bowl of cold water to remove excess starch.
After soaking for 5 minutes, drain the potatoes and transfer them to a clean kitchen towel. Wring out as much moisture as possible by twisting the towel tightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and flour. Crack in the egg and mix well until fully combined.
In a large skillet or non-stick frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the pan and flatten it gently with a spatula to form a 1/4-inch thick patty. Repeat with additional hash browns, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip carefully.
Once cooked, transfer the hash browns onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite breakfast sides, such as eggs, bacon, or fresh fruit.
