Ingredients

Scale

Potato Mixture

  • 600 grams potato, peeled
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese

For Frying

  • 1 tablespoon oil (canola or preferred oil) to fry the grated potatoes

Instructions

  1. Shred the Potatoes: Using a box grater with large holes, shred the peeled potatoes to create long strands perfect for frying.
  2. Drain Excess Water: Place the shredded potatoes in a fresh dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much water as possible to ensure crispiness when cooking.
  3. Season Potatoes: Transfer the dried shredded potatoes to a large basin. Add onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, oregano, and parmesan cheese. Mix well to combine all the seasonings evenly throughout the potatoes.
  4. Heat the Pan: Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large cast iron pan over medium heat until shimmering and hot enough for frying.
  5. Cook Hash Browns in Batches: Spread a single layer of potatoes in the pan without disturbing them. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the hash browns and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until the other side is equally golden and crisp. Repeat the frying process with the remaining potatoes and additional oil if needed.
  7. Serve Immediately: Once all batches are cooked to crispy perfection, serve the hash browns hot for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out as much water as possible from the shredded potatoes; excess moisture prevents crispiness.
  • Using a cast iron pan helps achieve evenly browned and crispy hash browns.
  • Work in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the potatoes instead of frying.
  • Parmesan cheese adds a nice savory flavor but can be omitted or substituted with a vegan alternative if preferred.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper according to preference.
