How to Make Hash Browns Homemade

  1. Peel and shred the russet potatoes. Finely chop the onion.
  2. In a large bowl, gently mix together the shredded potatoes and chopped onion.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter (if using).
  4. Once the oil is shimmering and hot, carefully add the potato mixture to the skillet.
  5. Using a spatula, spread the potatoes evenly into a large, thin circle, patting down gently.
  6. Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Carefully flip the hash browns using a large spatula.
  8. Cook for another 5-7 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove the hash browns from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  10. Transfer the hash browns to a clean plate.
  11. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  12. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream and green onions, shredded cheddar cheese and bacon bits, or ketchup and mustard.
