Crispy Hash Browns
Golden and perfectly crispy on the outside with a soft, fluffy interior, these crispy hash browns are the ultimate breakfast side dish. Whether you’re pairing them with eggs or enjoying them on their own, they’re a deliciously satisfying treat.
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil or clarified butter
Instructions
- Peel and shred the russet potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
- Rinse the shredded potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch.
- Drain and dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and optional flour.
- Heat oil or clarified butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add a compact mound of the potato mixture (about 1/2 cup) and press it down firmly into a flat patty.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes without disturbing until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the hash brown carefully with a spatula and cook the other side until crispy and golden.
- Transfer the cooked hash browns to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil as necessary.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
