⏱ 20 min total🔪 8 min prep🔥 12 min cookEasyServes 4American

Ingredients

  • •2 pounds russet potatoes
  • •1/2 medium onion
  • •3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • •1 teaspoon salt
  • •1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • •1/4 teaspoon paprika

Directions

  1. 1Peel and coarsely shred the potatoes into a clean kitchen towel, then squeeze out excess moisture.
  2. 2Finely mince the onion and mix with the shredded potatoes, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  3. 3Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. 4Add the potato mixture, pressing it down gently with a spatula to form a flat cake.
  5. 5Cook for 8-10 minutes without stirring until the bottom is golden and crispy.
  6. 6Break into chunks, stir, then cook another 3-5 minutes until all potatoes are tender and edges are crispy.
  7. 7Transfer to a serving plate and serve immediately.

💡 Rinse shredded potatoes until the water is mostly clear, then squeeze them very dry; surface starch and moisture are the two biggest enemies of crisp hash browns.
