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.
