Ingredients
  

For the Hashbrowns
  • 4 medium Potatoes (russet or Yukon gold)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil or cooking spray for a lighter option
  • 1 teaspoon Salt adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder or garlic powder as a substitute
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder optional
  • as needed Cooking Spray for frying

Equipment

  • cast-iron skillet

Method
 

Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling and grating the potatoes into a large bowl. Soak the grated potatoes in cold water for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes in a colander and pat them dry thoroughly to remove moisture.
  3. Combine dried potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, and optional garlic powder.
  4. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Lightly spray the skillet with cooking spray and spread the seasoned potato mixture evenly in batches.
  6. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.
  7. Transfer the cooked hashbrowns to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  8. Serve immediately while hot and crispy, paired with your favorite sides.

Notes

For best results, ensure potatoes are completely dry after soaking and avoid overcrowding the skillet during cooking.
