Why wait in line at a breakfast joint when you can whip up homemade hash browns at home with just a few basic ingredients?
You Will Need
- 1 1/2 lb. potatoes
- 4 to 6 tbsp. butter
- Salt and pepper
- Large saucepan
- Box grater
- Large nonstick skillet
- Spatula
- Paper towels
Step 1: Cook potatoes
Reduce heat to medium-high and cook until you can push a fork in with slight resistance.
Step 2: Boil potatoes
Place the potatoes in a large saucepan, add water to cover them completely, and bring to a boil.
Step 3: Drain and cool
Remove the potatoes from heat and drain. Let them cool until you can handle them.
Step 4: Shred
Shred the cooled potatoes on the large-hole side of the box grater. You can leave the skins in or pick them out.
Step 5: Melt butter
Melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in skillet.
Step 6: Add potatoes
Add the shredded potatoes to the skillet. Press down with a spatula for even cooking.
Step 7: Cook until brown
Cook until the bottom side is crispy and brown, about 10 minutes. Then, flip the potatoes and brown the other side. Add extra butter if needed.
Lower the heat if your potatoes are browning too quickly.
Step 8: Drain, season, and serve
Remove the potatoes and let them drain on paper towels. Add a dash of salt and pepper, and serve your hash browns warm.
Did you know? The average American ate about 126 pounds of potatoes in 2006.

You need to make sure to drain as much water from the potatoes as possible before cooking or they will be mushy. Potatoe Ricers to a great job! That is if you want crispy potatoes. =)
