If you love crispy, golden hash browns, then this recipe is for you! These Crispy Hash Browns are better than McDonald’s, easy to make, and perfect for breakfast or as a side dish. Pair them with three delicious homemade sauces, and you’ll have a satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy.
Ingredients:
- 3 potatoes (800 grams / 28 oz), peeled and grated
- 1 onion, finely chopped or grated
- 4 tablespoons of starch (cornstarch or potato starch)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for frying
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
- Grate the potatoes using a coarse grater. Once grated, place the potatoes in a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
- Grate or finely chop the onion and mix it with the grated potatoes in a large bowl.
- Add the starch, salt, and black pepper to the potato mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
Step 2: Shape the Hash Browns
- Take a handful of the potato mixture and press it together firmly to form a flat, oval or round hash brown patty. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used up.
Step 3: Fry the Hash Browns
- Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the hash brown patties in the pan. Cook them for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until they achieve a crispy, golden-brown finish.
- Remove the hash browns from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
