Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 small onion (optional)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by peeling and grating the potatoes using a box grater or food processor until you have fine shreds.
- Rinse the grated potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then drain thoroughly.
- If using, finely chop the onion and mix it with the grated potatoes.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Add the grated potato mixture to the skillet, pressing it down with a spatula to form a flat layer.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the hash browns over in sections and cook the other side for 5-7 minutes until crispy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For a creamier texture, substitute russet potatoes with Yukon Golds. Olive oil can be used for a richer flavor.
