Scale
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped

- Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

- First side: Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Flip and finish: Use a large plate to carefully flip the hash browns and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes until it’s crispy and golden.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve hot, topped with your favorite ingredients!
Notes
To achieve perfectly crispy hash browns, squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the potatoes, and avoid overcrowding the skillet.
