Ingredients & Substitutions

Russet potatoes are ideal for hash browns due to their high starch content, which helps achieve a crispy texture. You can substitute yellow or red potatoes, but they may result in a different texture. The onions add flavor, but can be omitted for a simpler version.

Tips & Notes

  • For extra crispiness, ensure the potatoes are as dry as possible before cooking.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary to give hash browns enough room to brown properly.

Recipe Variations

  • Add bell peppers or mushrooms to the mixture for added flavor and nutrition.
  • Top with avocado slices or fresh herbs for a fresh twist.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftover hash browns in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until crispy again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these hash browns ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the grated potatoes a day in advance. Store them in cold water in the refrigerator to prevent browning, and drain them well before cooking.

How can I make these hash browns spicier?

Add chopped jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes to the potato mixture for an extra kick!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Begin by peeling and grating the russet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using). Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

  3. 3

    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add half of the potato mixture, spreading it evenly across the pan.

  4. 4

    Cook the hash browns for about 5-7 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Avoid stirring to allow a crust to form.

  5. 5

    Carefully flip the hash browns using a large spatula. If needed, add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Cook the other side for an additional 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Once cooked, transfer the hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

  7. 7

    Repeat the cooking process with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil as needed. Serve hot with your favorite vegan toppings.
