A common American and British breakfast dish known as hash browns, also written as hashed browns, is made of finely diced potatoes that are cooked till browned.

Ingredients

2 large russet potatoes, peeled 2 tbsp butter, melted ½  tsp salt ¼  tsp black pepper ¼  tsp garlic powder ¼  cup all-purpose flour Vegetable oil, for frying

Step 1

Grate the peeled potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out moisture.

Step 2

Transfer the squeezed potatoes to a large mixing bowl and add the melted butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and flour. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, scoop the potato mixture into the skillet, pressing down gently to form patties.

Step 5

Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Remove the hash browns from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot and enjoy!
