by

Indulge in the crispy goodness of Homemade Hash Browns that are even better than McDonald’s! This easy recipe ensures perfectly golden and crispy hash browns made from scratch, served with three delicious sauces for a delightful breakfast or snack. 

Ingredients: 

  • 3 potatoes (about 800 grams / 28 oz) 
  • 1 onion 
  • 4 tablespoons starch 
  • Salt, to taste 
  • Black pepper, to taste 
  • Olive oil for frying 

Instructions: 

  1. Prepare the Potatoes and Onion: 
  • Start by peeling the potatoes and then grate them using a box grater. Rinse the grated potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch. Afterwards, press them firmly using a clean kitchen towel to remove any excess moisture. 
  • Peel and grate the onion using the same box grater. Combine with the grated potatoes. 
  1. Form the Hash Browns: 
  • Transfer the grated potatoes and onion mixture to a large bowl. Add starch, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix well until the starch coats the potatoes evenly. 
  1. Cook the Hash Browns: 
  • Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. 
  • Scoop a portion of the potato mixture (about 1/4 cup) and shape it into a flat round patty. Place it carefully into the hot oil. Repeat to form more patties, leaving enough space between each for easy flipping. 
  1. Fry Until Crispy: 
  • Fry the hash browns for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy. Flip them carefully with a spatula halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. 
  1. Drain and Serve: 
  • Once crispy and golden, remove the hash browns from the skillet and drain them on paper towels to absorb excess oil. 
  1. Serve with Sauces: 
  • Arrange the crispy hash browns on a serving platter. Serve hot with your choice of three delicious sauces, such as ketchup, sour cream, or barbecue sauce. 

Conclusion:

These Crispy Homemade Hash Browns are a cut above the rest, offering golden, crunchy goodness that rivals your favorite fast-food version. Enjoy them with a variety of sauces for a satisfying breakfast or snack that’s sure to please everyone!Â
