Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 small Onion
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Parsley
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and grate them using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes to remove excess starch.

Step 2

While the potatoes soak, finely grate the onion and set it aside.

Step 3

Drain the grated potatoes and wrap them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for ensuring crispy hash browns.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, eggs, cheddar cheese, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and parsley. Mix thoroughly to combine.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 6

Scoop a portion of the potato mixture into the pan, pressing it down gently with a spatula to form a patty. Repeat until the pan is full but not overcrowded.

Step 7

Cook each patty for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked hash browns to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil while you cook the remaining batches. Add more butter and olive oil to the pan as needed.

Step 9

Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your Hash Browns Heaven!
