Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 small Yellow onion
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment.

Step 3

Transfer the grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is essential for crispy hash brown cakes.

Step 4

Grate the small onion and combine it with the grated potatoes in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Add the egg, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to the mixing bowl. Stir well until the mixture is evenly combined.

Step 6

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.

Step 7

Place the patties onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each one.

Step 8

Brush the tops of each patty with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, carefully flip each patty over using a spatula and bake for another 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
