Start your day right with these delicious and filling hash browns. Made with a combination of shredded potatoes, onions, and spices, these crispy golden brown hash browns are perfect for a hearty breakfast. Serve them alongside eggs, bacon, or sausage for a complete and satisfying meal. With a prep time of just 15 minutes, you can enjoy this classic American breakfast dish in no time.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Place the grated potatoes in a colander and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch. Squeeze out any excess moisture.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to combine.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add half of the potato mixture to the skillet, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom of the skillet. Press down gently with a spatula to flatten the hash browns.
  5. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the bottom is crispy and golden brown. Flip the hash browns using a large spatula and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the other side is crispy and golden brown. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture.
  6. Remove the hash browns from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
  7. Serve the hash browns hot as a side dish with your favorite breakfast foods.
