Homemade Shredded Hashbrowns
Description
This recipe for Homemade Shredded Hashbrowns relies on peeling and shredding russet potatoes, then rinsing and soaking them in cold water to remove starch, which helps keep the final dish fluffy. After draining and thoroughly squeezing out excess water, the potatoes are combined with eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to add flavor and binding.
Cooking begins by frying small mounds of the mixture in vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until both sides turn golden brown, about 4–5 minutes per side. Then the hashbrowns are transferred to a baking sheet and finished in the oven at 350°F for 10–15 minutes to cook through and soften the inside.
The frying provides a crisp exterior, while finishing in the oven assures the hashbrowns are tender inside. This technique avoids soggy results and helps the potatoes hold their shape, with eggs acting as a binder. The hashbrowns are suitable for breakfast or as a side dish.
Ingredients
- 3 medium russet potato peeled
- 2 egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Shred potatoes using the large side of a box grater.
- Rinse potatoes in a strainer. Place in a large bowl of cold water and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain very well and squeeze potatoes dry.
- Combine eggs, potatoes, and seasonings together in a medium bowl.
- Heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Scoop ¼ cup mounds of potato mixture into the pan and flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Cook each side until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Place browned hashbrowns on a baking sheet and cook an additional 10-15 minutes or until tender.
Notes
- Saturate peeled shredded potatoes in cold water and then drain to remove excess starch for a fluffier texture.
- Use a clean tea towel to squeeze out as much water as possible, preventing soggy hashbrowns.
- Adding eggs is optional but helps the shredded potatoes hold together better while cooking.
