Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and shred them using a box grater. Place the shredded potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, all-purpose flour, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly incorporated.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and shape it into a patty with your hands. Place the patty into the skillet. Repeat until the skillet is full but not overcrowded.
Cook the hash brown patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Keep them warm in a low oven if needed while the remaining batches cook.
Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the cheesy hash browns warm, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
