Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Ham
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks Scallions
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and wring out excess water.
Chop the ham into small, bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the scallions. Set both aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, ham, cheddar cheese, scallions, eggs, and all-purpose flour. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Take a handful of the potato mixture and form it into a patty about 3 inches in diameter. Gently place the patty into the hot skillet. Repeat to fill the skillet without overcrowding.
Cook the hash brown patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve immediately, either on their own or with your favorite breakfast condiments like sour cream or ketchup. Enjoy!
