Cómo preparar Best Hashbrowns
- Rinse 3 cups of shredded russet potatoes under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch for crispier hashbrowns.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander. Then, wrap them in a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for crispy hashbrowns!
- Place the squeezed potatoes in a large bowl.
- Add 1/2 medium yellow onion (finely chopped), 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of garlic salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or more, to taste). Mix well to combine.
- In a separate small bowl, beat 1 large egg. Pour the beaten egg into the potato mixture and stir gently until evenly distributed.
- Heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large, heavy skillet (cast iron is ideal) over medium-high heat. The oil should be shimmering hot.
- Once the oil is hot, add the potato mixture to the skillet, spreading it evenly to a 1/2-inch thickness. Pat down gently with a spatula.
- Cook for approximately 5 minutes, undisturbed, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. You can cook the mixture as one large hashbrown or in smaller pancakes depending on preference
- Carefully flip the hashbrowns using a large spatula. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and any remaining oil if needed.
- Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the second side is golden brown and crispy. If cooking one large hashbrown, you may want to cut into quarters for easier flipping.
- Remove the hashbrowns from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (Note: The garlic salt adds plenty of salt, so adjust accordingly.)
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
