• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

📝 Instructions

1. Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using the large holes of a box grater.

2. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Discard the liquid.

3. Transfer the grated potatoes to a mixing bowl and season them with salt and ground black pepper. Mix well to combine.

4. Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

5. Once the oil is hot, spread the grated potato mixture evenly in the skillet to form a flat layer.

6. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

7. Using a spatula, carefully flip the hash brown and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until crispy and fully cooked through.

8. Remove from the skillet, cut into desired portions, and serve immediately.
