Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes into a colander and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
Squeeze the grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to remove as much moisture as possible. Set aside.
Peel and finely dice the yellow onion.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until caramelized and golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, caramelized onions, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Brush the surface with the remaining olive oil to prevent sticking.
Form the potato mixture into small patties (about 3-4 inches in diameter) using your hands or a biscuit cutter for uniform shapes.
Place the patties onto the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Flip gently with a spatula to avoid breaking the patties.
Once cooked, remove the grilled hash browns from the heat and transfer them to a serving plate.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately for best results.
