Ingredients

• 3 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using the large holes of a box grater.

Step 2

Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and wring out as much excess moisture as possible.

Step 3

Transfer the shredded potatoes to a mixing bowl. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to season the potatoes evenly.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Allow the butter to melt and combine with the oil.

Step 5

Once the skillet is hot, spread half of the grated potatoes evenly into the skillet, pressing them down gently to form an even layer.

Step 6

Cook the hash browns for 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and crispy. Avoid flipping too early to ensure proper browning.

Step 7

Carefully flip the hash browns using a spatula. If needed, add another 1 tablespoon of butter around the edges of the skillet to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes until golden and crisp. Remove from the skillet and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining grated potatoes, adding more butter and oil to the skillet as needed.

Step 10

Serve the homemade skillet hash browns immediately with your favorite breakfast sides like eggs and bacon.
