Ingredients

  • 2 large Russet potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor with a grating disc.

Step 2

Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This is key to achieving crispy hash browns.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, add the grated potatoes, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix until the potatoes are well-coated with the seasonings.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil. Allow the oil to melt and coat the pan evenly.

Step 5

Carefully add the seasoned grated potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out into an even layer, about 1/2 inch thick. Let them cook for about 8-10 minutes, without disturbing them, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Using a spatula, flip the potato layer in sections to cook the other side. Cook for another 8-10 minutes until crispy and golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh chives if desired.
