Ingredients to Get Your Crisp On!
Before we jump into action, let’s have a look at the magical ingredients that will take your taste buds to cloud nine:
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons of coconut oil (for that rich flavor)
- Salt to taste (because everything needs a pinch of love)
- Pepper to taste (for a little kick!)
- Optional: garlic powder or onion powder for an extra layer of flavor
- Optional: chopped green onions for garnish (they’re fancy, I know)
Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that we have our potatoes lined up, it’s time to channel your inner chef and begin the magical process:
- Prep those potatoes: Start by peeling the russet potatoes. Once peeled, grate them using a box grater or food processor. You want those babies shredded like confetti at a New Year’s Eve party!
- Rinse and dry: Rinse the grated potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, which will help achieve maximum crispiness. After rinsing, strut into the kitchen with your clean potatoes and squeeze them dry using a clean kitchen towel. Get all that moisture out!
- Heat it up: In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Wait for it to shimmer like a disco ball at a Saturday night party.
- Get cooking: Add the grated potatoes to the hot skillet, spreading them evenly. Let them cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip them like you mean it and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes.
- Season and serve: Sprinkle on salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings you like. When they’re beautifully golden and crispy, remove them from the skillet and let them rest on a paper towel. Garnish with chopped green onions if you’re feeling extra fancy!
Congratulations, you’ve just whipped up a batch of stellar hash browns! Now grab a plate, pile on your favorite breakfast goodies, and make some memories! Whether it’s a lazy Sunday morning or a brunch party, these hash browns are destined to steal the show. Enjoy every crispy bite!
