Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 0.5 medium onion
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Step 2
Grate the half onion and add it to the squeezed potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Stir in the all-purpose flour, egg, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening it gently with a spatula to form a round pancake. Cook 3 to 4 pancakes at a time without overcrowding the pan.
Step 6
Fry each pancake for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked hash brown pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture, adding the second tablespoon of vegetable oil as needed between batches.
Step 9
Serve the hash brown pancakes hot with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, chives, or ketchup.
