Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Russet potato
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Peel the potato and grate it using the large holes of a box grater.
Place the grated potato in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel, and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
In a small bowl, combine the grated potato with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely and coat the pan.
Spread the seasoned grated potato in an even layer in the skillet, pressing down gently with a spatula to form a compact round shape.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the hash brown over and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the other side to crisp up.
Remove the cheesy hash brown from the skillet and serve hot. Enjoy immediately!
