Ingredients

• 6 large Russet potatoes
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Optional spices (e.g., paprika, garlic powder)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and place them in a large bowl filled with cold water to prevent browning.

Step 2

Using a box grater or food processor, shred the potatoes into fine pieces. Immediately transfer the shredded potatoes back into a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch.

Step 3

Let the potatoes soak for 10 minutes, then drain them into a colander. Rinse under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 4

Working in small batches, squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the potatoes using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Dry potatoes are essential for crispy hash browns.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded and dried potatoes with salt, black pepper, and any optional spices for additional flavor.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a thin layer of the seasoned shredded potatoes, spreading them evenly in the pan.

Step 7

Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with additional batches, adding more oil as needed.

Step 8

Allow the cooked hash browns to cool completely on a cooling rack. Once cooled, place individual portions on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 1-2 hours until solid.

Step 9

Once frozen, transfer the hash browns to a resealable freezer bag or airtight container. Label with the date and freeze for up to 3 months.

Step 10

To reheat, cook the frozen hash browns in a skillet over medium heat with a little oil until heated through and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side. Enjoy!
