How to Make Best Hash Browns Homemade

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Wash and scrub 2 lbs russet potatoes thoroughly. Lightly rub the potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork.
  4. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the potatoes.
  5. Let the potatoes cool completely.
  6. Once cool, use a box grater to grate the potatoes. (You can also use a food processor with a grating attachment for faster results.)
  7. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  8. Add the grated potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out evenly.
  9. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  10. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes, or 1/2 cup shredded cheese (or any other desired additions) during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
