Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor.
Step 2
Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much water as possible. The drier the potatoes, the crispier the hash browns will be.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the drained potatoes with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Step 5
Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and butter, allowing them to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned potatoes in an even layer in the skillet, pressing them down gently with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Flip the hash browns using a spatula, cooking the other side for another 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the cooked hash browns from the skillet and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 9
Repeat the process with any remaining potato mixture, adding more oil and butter as needed.
Step 10
Allow the hash browns to cool completely before portioning them into freezer-safe bags or containers for OAMC. When ready to serve, reheat in a skillet or oven until warmed through.
