Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and shred them using a box grater. Place the shredded potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, all-purpose flour, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly incorporated.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Step 4
Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and shape it into a patty with your hands. Place the patty into the skillet. Repeat until the skillet is full but not overcrowded.
Step 5
Cook the hash brown patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Keep them warm in a low oven if needed while the remaining batches cook.
Step 7
Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Step 8
Serve the cheesy hash browns warm, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
