Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 1 medium Onion
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Russet potatoes and rinse them under cold water to remove any residual dirt or starch on the surface.

Step 2

Using a box grater or food processor with a shredding attachment, grate the potatoes into fine shreds.

Step 3

Transfer the grated potato to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Gather the ends and twist tightly to wring out as much moisture as possible.

Step 4

Finely dice the onion and pat it dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded potatoes and diced onion. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, mixing thoroughly to distribute the seasoning.

Step 6

In a large, heavy-bottomed nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium heat until the butter has melted and is slightly bubbling.

Step 7

Add the potato mixture to the skillet in a flat, even layer, pressing it down gently with a spatula to form a cohesive hash brown layer.

Step 8

Cook undisturbed for 6-7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Carefully flip the hash brown using a wide spatula (you can also split it into sections for easier flipping). Cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until the second side is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish before serving. Serve hot alongside eggs, bacon, or your favorite breakfast staples.
