Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using the large holes of a box grater.
Place the grated potatoes into a clean cloth or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible to ensure the hash browns get crispy.
In a large bowl, mix the grated potatoes with salt, black pepper, and onion powder until well combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Once the coconut oil is hot and shimmering, add the potato mixture to the skillet in a thin, even layer. Pat it down gently with a spatula to form a solid surface.
Cook without stirring on medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the hash browns using a spatula (or divide into sections for easier flipping) and cook the other side for another 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy.
Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
