Instructions

  1. Step 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.

  2. Step 2

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

  3. Step 3

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

  4. Step 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. Step 5

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