Ingredients
Scale
- 2 russet potatoes (large, peeled and grated)
- 2 tbsps unsalted butter
- 2 tbsps vegetable oil
- 2 tbsps all-purpose flour
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) with the rack centered, then thoroughly rinse and grate potatoes into a large mixing bowl, ensuring a uniform shred.
- Seasoning: Sprinkle kosher salt and black pepper over the potatoes, gently fold in all-purpose flour to create a light, even coating that will help achieve a crispy texture.
- Skillet Preparation: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high, melt unsalted butter, and add vegetable oil to create a non-stick surface with rich flavor.
- Forming Patties: Scoop potato mixture into four distinct mounds directly in the skillet, carefully pressing each into 1/2-inch thick patties with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Initial Cooking: Allow hash browns to develop a golden-brown crust for 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook the opposite side for an additional 2-3 minutes until achieving consistent coloration.
- Final Baking: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, creating extra crispy edges and ensuring potatoes are thoroughly cooked through.
- Serving: Remove from oven, let rest briefly, then plate and serve hot alongside complementary breakfast items, enjoying the perfect blend of crispy exterior and tender interior.
Notes
- Moisture Management: Squeeze excess liquid from grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel to prevent soggy hash browns and ensure maximum crispiness.
- Fat Selection: Use a combination of butter and oil for optimal flavor and golden-brown exterior, creating a perfect crisp without burning.
- Uniform Thickness: Press patties to consistent 1/2-inch thickness for even cooking and guaranteed crispy texture throughout each hash brown.
- Heat Control: Maintain medium-high heat during stovetop cooking to develop a golden crust without burning the potato strands, ensuring restaurant-quality results.
