Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional, for flavor)
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder (optional, for flavor)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
Using a box grater or food processor, shred the potatoes into thin, uniform pieces.
Place the shredded potatoes into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 5 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and improves crispiness.
Drain the shredded potatoes in a colander and wrap them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Dry potatoes make crispier hash browns!
Return the dried potatoes to a mixing bowl. Add the cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder (if using), and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the potatoes.
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat. Ensure the pan is evenly greased.
Scoop a handful of the potato mixture (about 1/4 cup) and shape it into a flat, round patty. Carefully place the patty into the hot skillet. Repeat until the pan is full but not overcrowded.
Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip them carefully.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more olive oil and butter as needed.
Serve the hash brown patties warm with your favorite low-sodium condiments or alongside eggs, avocado, or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
