Ingredients

  • 1 pound russet potatoes
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Scrub and peel potatoes.
  • Using a box grater, shred potatoes on the largest side.
  • Squeeze as much excess water from shredded potatoes as you can. Set on a clean plate.
  • Heat oil in a skillet to 350°.
  • Add about 1/4 cup mounds of shredded potatoes to hot oil, about 4 at a time, not crowding the pan.
  • Fry for about 4 minutes and flip to brown the other side.
  • Continue to cook about another 4 minutes, watching the oil temperature and lowering heat if necessary.
  • When hashbrowns are brown and crispy, remove to a paper towel lined plate.
  • Sprinkle with kosher salt.

Notes

Hash browns are best if consumed right away. They can be wrapped in plastic wrap and kept in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
To reheat: cook in a skillet with just a bit of vegetable oil, cooking on both sides until heated through.
