Homemade Shredded Hashbrowns are crispy, golden-brown potato patties cooked to perfection in a skillet and finished in the oven. This easy-to-make breakfast side is a delicious addition to any morning meal, offering a crunchy exterior with a tender inside.

Ingredients

Potatoes and Eggs

  • 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled
  • 2 eggs

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm while you prepare and pan-fry the hashbrowns.
  2. Shred the potatoes: Using the large side of a box grater, shred the peeled russet potatoes into thin strips.
  3. Rinse and dry potatoes: Place the shredded potatoes in a strainer and rinse under cold water. Then soak them in a large bowl of cold water for 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure crispiness.
  4. Mix ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the well-drained shredded potatoes with 2 eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  5. Heat the oil: Warm 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  6. Form and fry patties: Scoop ¼ cup portions of the potato mixture into the skillet and flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon to form patties. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes or until they develop a golden-brown crust.
  7. Finish baking: Transfer the fried hashbrowns to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes to ensure they are tender and cooked through inside.

Notes

  • Pressing the potatoes dry is essential to achieve a crispy texture.
  • You can add finely chopped onions or herbs for extra flavor if desired.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned cast iron to prevent sticking during frying.
  • Baking after frying helps finish cooking the insides without burning the exterior.
  • Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
