Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor with a grating disc.
Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This is key to achieving crispy hash browns.
In a large mixing bowl, add the grated potatoes, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix until the potatoes are well-coated with the seasonings.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil. Allow the oil to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Carefully add the seasoned grated potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out into an even layer, about 1/2 inch thick. Let them cook for about 8-10 minutes, without disturbing them, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
Using a spatula, flip the potato layer in sections to cook the other side. Cook for another 8-10 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
Transfer the cooked hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh chives if desired.
