Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the potatoes

Wash potatoes thoroughly. Peel the potatoes (optional).

2
Grate the potatoes

Using a box grater or food processor with a grating attachment, shred the potatoes.

3
Rinse the potatoes

Place shredded potatoes in a large bowl of cold water. Swish around to remove excess starch. Drain in a colander.

4
Remove excess moisture

Place shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel. Wrap and squeeze firmly to remove as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for crispy hashbrowns.

5
Season the potatoes

Transfer dried potatoes to a bowl. Add salt, pepper, and onion powder. Toss to distribute seasonings evenly.

6
Heat the pan

Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil. Heat until oil is shimmering but not smoking.

7
Cook the hashbrowns

Add shredded potatoes to the hot pan. Spread into an even layer about 1/2-inch thick. Press down lightly with a spatula. Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.

8
Flip the hashbrowns

Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of oil over the top of the hashbrowns. Carefully flip the hashbrowns using a large spatula. If they break apart, simply press them back together.

9
Cook the second side

Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the second side is golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat if needed to prevent burning.

10
Drain and serve

Transfer hashbrowns to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
