Instructions

Peel the potatoes, cut them into halves or quarters, and boil for about 10 minutes until slightly tender. Drain, let cool for a few minutes, then grate using a medium grater. Squeeze the excess water out.

In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, cornstarch, egg, Parmesan, and all seasonings. Mix gently until evenly combined, the mixture should be slightly sticky but not wet.

Lightly oil your hands and form oval or round patties. Place them on a parchment-lined plate until ready to fry.

Heat oil over medium-high heat (about level 7 out of 9). Fry the hash browns for about 4 minutes per side or until golden and crispy. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

While still hot, sprinkle extra Parmesan on top for an extra burst of cheesy flavor.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Squeeze Out Excess Moisture 💧
After shredding potatoes, wrap them tightly in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze hard to remove excess water—this is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness and preventing soggy hash browns.
Cornstarch is Your Crispiness Secret ✨
Toss shredded potatoes with cornstarch before cooking to create an extra-crunchy exterior while keeping the inside tender and fluffy.
Don't Move Them Too Early 🛑
Let hash browns sit undisturbed in the hot oil for 3-4 minutes per side to develop a golden, crispy crust before flipping—resist the urge to stir constantly.
Layer Your Seasonings for Depth 🧄
Mix garlic powder and paprika into the potato mixture before cooking, then finish with fresh grated Parmesan and an egg binder right after searing for layered flavor that won't burn.
Use a Neutral Oil with High Smoke Point 🔥
Choose vegetable or avocado oil instead of olive oil to prevent burning and achieve consistent, even browning at the higher temperatures needed for crispy hash browns.
