Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 small Onion
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (optional)
- Ketchup or preferred condiments (optional)
Instructions
1. Begin by washing, peeling, and shredding the russet potatoes using a box grater. Transfer the grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel and wring out the excess moisture.
2. Dice the onion and set it aside for the hash browns.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until the seasonings are evenly incorporated. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the hamburger patties to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the patties reach your desired level of doneness (160°F for medium well). Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest under a tent of aluminum foil.
5. In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Add the shredded potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out in an even layer. Press lightly with a spatula to ensure good contact with the pan. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
7. Cook the potatoes for 4-5 minutes on each side, flipping carefully to achieve a crispy, golden-brown texture. Add the butter in small pieces around the edges of the skillet to enhance browning and flavor.
8. Once the hash browns are crisp and cooked through, remove them from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate.
9. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the hash browns while they are still hot to allow the cheese to melt.
10. Serve the hamburger patties alongside the hash browns. Add your favorite condiments, such as ketchup, mustard, or hot sauce, to enhance flavor. Enjoy your meal!
