A delightful recipe for crispy and golden hash browns, perfect for breakfast or as a side dish.
Peel the potatoes and place them in a large pot filled with cold water.
Peeling the potatoes ensures a smoother texture for the hash browns.
Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let them cool.
Cooking the potatoes partially helps in achieving a crispy texture later.
Grate the cooled potatoes using a grater and place them in a mixing bowl.
Grating the potatoes evenly ensures uniform cooking.
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and melt the butter.
Using butter adds a rich flavor to the hash browns.
Add the grated potatoes to the pan, spreading them evenly. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
Pressing the potatoes gently with a spatula helps in achieving a crispy crust.
Flip the potatoes and cook the other side until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
Seasoning at the end helps in retaining the flavors.
Serve the hash browns hot and enjoy them as a side dish or a main breakfast item.
Serving immediately ensures the hash browns remain crispy.
