Homemade Hash Browns

Description

If you're a firm believer that potatoes make basically any meal taste better, then you've come to the right place.
Because we are too — especially when it comes to breakfast potatoes.

Ingredients

• 2 medium russet potatoes, shredded
• 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup oil for frying, or as needed
• salt and pepper to taste

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Rinse shredded potatoes until water is clear, then drain and squeeze dry.
   Place shreds in bowl and mix the onion, flour and egg until evenly distributed.
3. Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
   When oil is sizzling hot, place potatoes into the pan in a 1/2 inch thick layer.
   Cover the whole bottom of the pan, or make seperate piles like pancakes.
4. Cook until nicely browned on the botttom, then flip over and brown on the other side.
   It should take at least 5 minutes per side. If you are cooking them in one big piece, it can be cut into quarters for easier flipping.
5. Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
6. Serve hot and enjoy!
