Golden, crunchy, and utterly satisfying, these Whole30 Crispy Hash Brown Patties are a healthier twist on a breakfast classic. Made with just six simple ingredients like russet potatoes, a touch of seasoning, and a binding egg, these patties are pan-fried in nutrient-rich coconut oil for a perfect golden crust. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and Whole30-compliant, this recipe packs comfort food flavor while staying diet-friendly. The secret to their irresistibly crispy texture lies in thoroughly wringing out excess moisture from the grated potatoes. Whether served as a savory breakfast companion or a versatile side dish, these hash brown patties are ready in just 30 minutes and are best enjoyed hot and fresh from the skillet.
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using the large holes of a box grater. You should yield about 3 cups of grated potatoes.
Transfer the grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel, gather the ends, and wring out the excess moisture. Ensure the potatoes are as dry as possible to help achieve crispiness.
Place the drained potatoes into a mixing bowl and add the salt, freshly ground black pepper, onion powder, and egg. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.
Heat the coconut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties into the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches if your skillet isnβt large enough.
Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and drain any excess oil on a paper towel lined plate.
Serve immediately as they are best enjoyed hot and crispy.
