Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and place them in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment, grate the potatoes into thin shreds.
Place the shredded potatoes into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, wrap tightly, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial to achieving crisp hashbrowns.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded, drained potatoes with salt and black pepper. Toss to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt and the oil to heat up until shimmering.
Add the shredded potatoes in an even layer to the skillet, gently pressing them down with a spatula to form a compact layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; you can cook in batches if necessary.
Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
Flip the hashbrowns carefully using a spatula, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes on the other side until golden and crisp.
Transfer the cooked hashbrowns to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the hashbrowns hot with your favorite breakfast sides or toppings!
