Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 small Onion
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and grate them using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes to remove excess starch.
While the potatoes soak, finely grate the onion and set it aside.
Drain the grated potatoes and wrap them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for ensuring crispy hash browns.
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, eggs, cheddar cheese, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and parsley. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Scoop a portion of the potato mixture into the pan, pressing it down gently with a spatula to form a patty. Repeat until the pan is full but not overcrowded.
Cook each patty for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Transfer the cooked hash browns to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil while you cook the remaining batches. Add more butter and olive oil to the pan as needed.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your Hash Browns Heaven!
