Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and grated
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Seasonings:
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 425°F (220°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even heating.
- Thoroughly rinse fresh potatoes, then grate them using a box grater, collecting shredded potatoes in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the shredded potatoes, tossing gently to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Sift all-purpose flour over the seasoned potatoes, carefully folding the mixture to ensure each potato strand is lightly coated.
- Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, adding unsalted butter and allowing it to melt completely.
- Pour vegetable oil into the skillet, swirling to create a uniform cooking surface that prevents sticking.
- Using a quarter-cup measuring scoop, portion the potato mixture into four distinct mounds directly in the heated skillet.
- Gently press each potato mound with a spatula, creating uniform patties approximately 1/2 inch thick.
- Cook the hash browns for 3-4 minutes until the bottom develops a golden-brown crispy crust.
- Carefully flip the patties, cooking an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve consistent browning.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, ensuring potatoes are thoroughly cooked and edges are crisp.
- Remove from oven, let rest for 2 minutes, then plate and serve immediately alongside eggs, bacon, or your preferred breakfast accompaniments.
Notes
- Drain excess moisture from freshly grated potatoes using paper towels to prevent soggy, disappointing results.
- Crisp up your hash browns by flattening potato mounds gently, creating an even golden surface that’ll make breakfast guests swoon.
- Medium-high heat transforms ordinary potatoes into restaurant-quality crispy delights without burning the edges.
- Flour coating adds an unexpected crunch that elevates these hash browns from basic to brilliant breakfast fare.
- Experiment with aromatic herbs like rosemary or thyme to infuse extra flavor into your morning potato masterpiece.
