Ingredients

  • 2 large potatoes
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel and grate the 2 large potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

    In a large bowl, toss the grated potatoes with the 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.

  3. 3

    Heat the 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Press the potato mixture into the skillet in an even layer, about 1/2 inch thick. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Flip the hash browns in sections and cook the other side until golden and crispy, another 5-7 minutes. Serve hot.
