Classic Hash Browns
This easy homemade hash brown recipe produces the crispiest results with just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- russet potatoes (2 )
- clarified butter (3 tablespoons)
- cayenne pepper (1 pinch)
- paprika (1 pinch)
- salt (0 )
- black pepper (0 )
Instructions
- Shred potatoes into a large bowl filled with cold water. Stir until water is cloudy; drain and cover potatoes again with fresh cold water. Stir again to dissolve excess starch. Drain potatoes well, pat dry with paper towels, and squeeze out any excess moisture.
- Heat clarified butter in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Sprinkle shredded potatoes into hot butter in an even layer; season with cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Cook potatoes until a brown crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip or stir and continue to cook until potatoes are browned and crusty all over, about 5 more minutes.
