Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding blade.
Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. The drier the potatoes, the crispier the hash browns will be.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly distributed.
Heat a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet evenly.
Spoon the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening it with a spatula to form an even layer, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
Cook the hash browns for about 10-12 minutes on one side, without disturbing them, until the edges turn golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the hash browns using a spatula. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon each of butter and olive oil to the skillet. Cook for another 10-12 minutes, or until the second side is golden and crispy.
Once cooked, transfer the hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Cut into portions and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary or a sprinkle of sea salt for extra flavor.
