Ingredients
Potatoes
- 3 large Russet Potatoes shredded
Seasoning
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 1/4 tsp Pepper black
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Herbs dried, such as italian mix
Other Ingredients
- 1 tsp Corn Flour
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 3 Tbsp Oil for frying
Instructions
- Place the shredded potatoes in a large bowl of cold water. Stir well until the water becomes cloudy. This helps release excess starch.
- Drain the potatoes and then cover them again with fresh cold water. Stir and drain thoroughly. Pat the potatoes dry with paper towels and squeeze out any remaining moisture. Removing excess starch is key to achieving crispy hash browns.
- In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shredded potatoes to the hot butter. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and dried herbs. Mix well to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Cook the potatoes until they are slightly softened but not fully cooked. Avoid overcooking at this stage. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Let them cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, add the cornstarch to the potatoes and mix thoroughly. Lightly grease your palms. Take a palmful of the potato mixture and form it into a ball. Flatten the ball between your palms to create the classic hash brown shape.
- Heat the oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the hash browns in the hot oil and shallow fry them until golden brown and crispy on both sides. This creates a delicious crust.
- Transfer the cooked hash browns to a plate. Serve hot with tomato ketchup and shredded cabbage for a delightful combination of flavors and textures.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Roll aluminum foil into a rectangular shape, grease it, and use it to mold the hash brown mixture. This helps achieve a perfect traditional shape. Remove the foil when cooking the other sides.
- After grating the potatoes, rinse them under cold water and squeeze out excess moisture using a kitchen towel for crispier hash browns.
- For an Indian twist, add a pinch of chaat masala or finely chopped green chilies to the potato mixture before frying.
- If making ahead, partially cook the hash browns, let them cool, and freeze in a single layer. Reheat directly from frozen.
- Serve stacked with shredded cabbage and a drizzle of spiced yogurt or mint chutney.
Expert Tips
- For even crispier hash browns, grate the potatoes using the large holes of a box grater.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. Cook in batches to ensure even browning.
- Experiment with different seasonings! Garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika all add delicious flavor.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover hash browns can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until heated through and crispy.
