Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium Russet Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Butter or Oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (Optional)
Instructions
- Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor.
- Rinse the grated potatoes under cold water to eliminate excess starch. Drain thoroughly and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- In a large skillet, heat your butter or oil over medium-high heat until hot.
- Spread the grated potatoes evenly across the skillet.
- Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Cook without stirring for about 5 to 7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the hash browns and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes until fully cooked and crispy.
- If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top just before serving to allow it to melt slightly.
Notes
For an extra crunchy exterior, use a cast-iron skillet. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
