    Prep

    Squeeze out as much liquid from the grated potatoes as you possibly can — this is the single biggest factor in getting genuinely crispy hash browns instead of steamed, soggy ones.

    Instructions:

    1. Grate & Drain: Grate the potatoes using a box grater, then transfer to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible.
    2. Season: In a bowl, toss the grated potatoes with cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
    3. Heat the Oil: Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
    4. Form the Patties: Divide the potato mixture into 4 mounds in the skillet, pressing each into a flat patty.
    5. Cook: Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, pressing down occasionally, until deeply golden and crisp.
    6. Add More Oil: Add the remaining oil as needed when flipping.
    7. Drain & Serve: Drain briefly on paper towels and serve hot.

    Why these Ingredients

    This recipe leans on a handful of key ingredients to get its flavor and texture right. The russet potatoes adds heartiness and a creamy texture once cooked. The cornstarch thickens the mixture to give it the right body and texture. The neutral oil keeps the fat neutral so the other ingredients can shine. The garlic powder builds a savory, aromatic base.
