Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium russet potatoes (about 1 lb)
- 1 small onion, grated
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 tbsp canola oil or melted butter
- Optional: 1/2 tsp paprika or garlic powder for added flavor
Instructions
- Peel and grate the russet potatoes using a box grater. Rinse shreds under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- Drain the grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel, squeezing out as much moisture as possible.
- Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Spread the drained potato shreds evenly in the skillet and sprinkle with grated onion, salt, and pepper. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
- Carefully flip sections of the hash browns and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until crispy on both sides.
- Remove from heat and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil before serving hot.
