📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Peel the russet potatoes and submerge them in cold water to prevent browning.

2. Using a box grater, grate the potatoes into a large bowl.

3. Place the grated potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This step is essential to achieve crispy hashbrowns.

4. Combine the drained potatoes with salt and black pepper in a medium bowl, mixing well to evenly distribute the seasoning.

5. In a large non-stick skillet, heat the butter and vegetable oil over medium-high heat until the butter melts and begins to bubble.

6. Add the grated potatoes to the skillet and spread them evenly into a thin layer. Press down lightly with a spatula to flatten.

7. Cook without stirring for 7-9 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

8. Carefully flip the hashbrowns using a spatula. If needed, divide them into sections to make flipping easier.

9. Continue to cook the other side for an additional 5-7 minutes until crispy and golden.

10. Remove the hashbrowns from the skillet and let them drain briefly on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.

11. Serve hot, garnished with additional salt or pepper if desired.
