- Preparation: 10 min

Ingredients
- 0.5 g Salt, table
- 1 g Spices, pepper, black
- 15 g Olive oil
- 250 g Potatoes, red, flesh and skin, raw
Method
- Prepare the Potatoes Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as possible. Removing excess moisture helps the hash browns crisp up.
- Season the Potatoes In a bowl, combine the grated potatoes with salt and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Shape the Hash Browns Divide the potato mixture into portions and shape them into triangles or patties, depending on your preference.
- Fry the Hash Browns Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the shaped hash browns in the skillet, leaving space between each one. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve Remove the hash browns from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy with ketchup or sour cream for dipping.
- Chef's Notes Texture Tip: For extra crispy hash browns, let the shredded potatoes sit for 5 minutes after squeezing out the water, then squeeze them again to remove any residual moisture. Add-Ins: You can mix finely chopped onions, garlic powder, or shredded cheese into the potato mixture for additional flavor.
