Homemade Crispy Hash Browns
Description :
Good, old-fashioned, restaurant-style hash browns. Perfect with hot pepper sauce and ketchup!
Ingredient :
-
2 medium russet potatoes, shredded
-
½ medium onion, finely chopped
-
¼ cup all-purpose flour
-
1 egg
-
1 cup oil for frying, or as needed
-
salt and pepper to taste
Direction :
-
Rinse shredded potatoes until water is clear, then drain and squeeze dry.
-
Place shreds in a bowl and mix in the onion, flour, and egg until evenly distributed.
-
Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is sizzling hot, place potatoes into the pan in a 1/2 inch thick layer. Cover the whole bottom of the pan, or make separate piles like pancakes.
-
Cook until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip over and brown on the other side. It should take at least 5 minutes per side. If you are cooking them in one big piece, it can be cut into quarters for easier flipping.
-
Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
-
Serve hot and enjoy!
