Best Ever Homemade Crispy Hash Browns Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 medium russet potatoes, shredded
• 0.5 medium onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 egg egg
• 1 cup oil for frying, or as needed
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Gather all of your ingredients.
2. Rinse the shredded potatoes thoroughly until the water runs clear. Drain well and squeeze out any excess moisture. Place the potato shreds in a bowl and combine with the onion, flour, and egg, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.
3. Heat approximately 1/4 inch of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully place the potato mixture into the pan, creating a 1/2-inch thick layer. You can cover the entire bottom of the pan or form separate piles, similar to making pancakes.
4. Cook the hash browns until they are beautifully browned on the bottom. Flip them over and brown the other side. This process should take at least 5 minutes per side. If you've cooked one large hash brown, cut it into quarters to make flipping easier.
5. Remove the hash browns from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Season generously with salt and pepper. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
6. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious homemade hash browns!
