Let’s get started!
– 1/2 Medium onion, finely chopped – 1 Large egg – Salt and pepper to taste – 1 cup Oil for frying, or as needed – 2 Medium russet potatoes, shredded – 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
1. Start by rinsing shredded potatoes until the water runs clear, then drain and squeeze out excess moisture. 2. Next, combine the potatoes with onion, flour, and egg in a bowl, stirring until well mixed.
3. Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it's sizzling. 4. Spread the potato mixture evenly into the skillet, forming a layer about 1/2 inch thick.
5. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until it's also golden brown.
6. Remove the hash browns from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. 7. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot immediately for the crispiest results.
