Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
Directions
Step 1
Peel and coarsely grate the Russet potatoes.
Step 2
Transfer the grated potatoes into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 5 minutes to remove excess starch.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes into a colander and then thoroughly dry them using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to ensure crispy hash browns.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
In a big mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, ground black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Toss everything together until the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, add the potato mixture to the skillet in a thin, even layer.
Step 7
Press the potatoes down using a spatula to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
Step 8
Cook the potatoes without stirring for about 10 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Carefully flip the hash browns over, using the spatula to assist, and cook the other side for an additional 8-10 minutes, until golden and crispy.
Step 10
Once cooked, remove the hash browns from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 11
Garnish with freshly chopped chives before serving.
