Homemade Hash Browns Recipe

There’s something incredibly satisfying about a crispy, golden hash brown, especially when it’s paired with tender homemade brisket and its delicious sauce. This simple recipe brings a delightful crunch and flavor to your table, and with just a few ingredients, you’ll have a hearty side dish ready in no time. Whether you’re cooking for a family breakfast or a large gathering, these hash browns are sure to please. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making these delicious homemade hash browns:

Ingredients

  • 3 medium potatoes
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 large egg
  • Salt to taste
  • Optional: Cayenne pepper for a kick
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes and Onion
    Begin by peeling the potatoes. Using a box grater or a food processor, grate the potatoes along with the onion. The grating helps the potatoes cook evenly and ensures a crispy texture. If you prefer, you can squeeze out some of the moisture from the grated mixture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. This step is optional but can help achieve extra crispiness.

  2. Mix Ingredients
    Transfer the grated potatoes and onion into a large mixing bowl. Crack the egg into the bowl and beat it lightly before adding it to the potato mixture. Season generously with salt and, if you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly until the egg is evenly distributed and the seasoning is well combined.

  3. Heat the Oil
    In a large skillet, heat a generous amount of vegetable oil over medium heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet and allow the hash browns to crisp up nicely. Allow the oil to heat up until it shimmers and is hot but not smoking.

  4. Form and Cook the Hash Browns
    Scoop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil. Flatten each scoop into a patty about 1/2-inch thick. You can make these patties larger or smaller depending on your preference. Cook the hash browns in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the skillet.

    Let each patty cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until it develops a golden-brown crust. Flip the patties and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, adding more oil if needed. The hash browns should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

  5. Drain and Serve
    Once the hash browns are nicely browned and crispy, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy them with your favorite accompaniments.

These hash browns are perfect with a drizzle of brisket sauce, as they absorb the rich flavors beautifully. They also make a wonderful addition to any breakfast or brunch spread. For a complete meal, serve them alongside eggs, bacon, or even a fresh salad. Enjoy your homemade hash browns! 🌟🍳🥔
