Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Granulated garlic
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Peel the Russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor.
Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Swirl them around to remove excess starch, then drain them in a colander.
Place the grated potatoes on a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Twist the cloth over a sink and squeeze out as much moisture as possible until the potatoes are dry.
Transfer the dried, grated potatoes back into a dry bowl. Add salt, black pepper, onion powder, and granulated garlic, then mix well to combine.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the grated potatoes in an even layer in the skillet, gently pressing down with a spatula to create a flat layer. If the skillet is too small, cook in batches.
Cook the potatoes undisturbed for about 7-8 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
Flip the hash browns carefully using a spatula. Add the remaining olive oil around the edges, allowing it to seep under the browned side.
Continue cooking for another 7-8 minutes until the second side is golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the hash browns from the skillet and transfer them onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the hash browns hot as a side to your favorite breakfast dishes or enjoy them on their own.
