Ingredients
Makes 1 serving
- 1 potato
- 1 salt
- 1 pepper
Method
Peel the skin of potatoes if they are dirty, otherwise you can also leave them on.
Fine julienne cut the potatoes ( I used the julienne cut on my hand slicer).
Try to squeeze all the juice from the potatoes with a towel.
Flavor with salt and pepper according to taste.
Heat oil on a skillet pan (non-stick is a good choice). Be generous on the oil, it will make your hash brown very crispy.
On medium-high heat, pour the potatoes on the pan and try to make it flat and round. Do not stir it.
Turn it over when golden brown and it's done when both sides are golden and crispy.
Cook's notes
- For extra crispiness, squeeze out as much moisture from the shredded potato as possible using a clean towel.
- Use a non-stick skillet and be generous with oil to achieve that perfect golden crust.
- Avoid stirring the potatoes once they're in the pan; let them form a flat, round shape to cook evenly.
Easy swaps
- Instead of Potato, use Sweet potato or zucchini
- Instead of Salt, use Garlic salt or seasoned salt
- Instead of Pepper, use Paprika or cayenne pepper
