Crispy Hash Browns are golden on the outside, tender on the inside, and made from simple ingredients. Perfect for breakfast or as a savory side, they bring diner-style flavor and crunch to your home kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 2 large russet potatoes
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2–3 tbsp cooking oil or butter (or a mix)
  • Optional: 1/4 small onion, finely chopped
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor.
  2. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  3. Transfer the dry potatoes to a bowl and season with salt, pepper, and optional spices or chopped onion.
  4. Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the potatoes in a thin, even layer and press down with a spatula to flatten.
  6. Cook undisturbed for 5–7 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Carefully flip and cook the other side for 4–6 minutes, until crisp and cooked through.
  8. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.

Notes

Squeeze the potatoes very well to remove all moisture—this is essential for crispiness.Do not overcrowd the pan—work in batches if needed.For patties, form hash browns into rounds before cooking.Use a nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron skillet for best results.
