Ingredients
  

For the Hash Brown Mixture
  • 4 medium Russet Potatoes peeled and grated
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper freshly cracked, to taste
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour optional
For Frying
  • 1/2 cup Neutral Oil e.g., vegetable, sunflower, or avocado

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • Box grater or food processor
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Paper towels
  • Kitchen Towel or Cheesecloth

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by peeling and grating the Russet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Soak the grated potatoes in cold water for 5–10 minutes.
  2. Drain the grated potatoes and transfer them to a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried grated potatoes with cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and all-purpose flour. Stir until evenly coated.
  4. Divide and shape the mixture into six oval or rectangular patties, about ½ inch thick. Place them on a baking sheet.
  5. Heat about ½ inch of neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat to around 350°F. Carefully add the patties to fry.
  6. Fry each side for 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
