Hash Browns – Quick and Easy

Ingredients:

500 grams of good quality potatoes. The quality of the potato does make a difference, so splash out a few extra cents.

Butter

Salt and black pepper.

Method

Peel your potatoes and grate them using a cheese grater. Use the coarsest side of the grater as you want to make tiny strips of potato, not a potato mush.

The secret to great hash browns is to remove as much water from the potato as possible, so take your grated potato and spread it out on a thick layer of paper towel. Place another thick layer of paper towel on top and force the water out by rolling a rolling pin back and forth across it. Use plenty of pressure – cooking with damp potatoes will make soggy hash browns.

Melt a about 3 dessertspoons of butter in a large frying pan and it get nice and hot.

Place your shredded potato in the frying pan and press down with a spatula or egg slice so that it forms a large single cake about 2cm thick.

Season with salt and pepper and fry until golden brown on the bottom, then flip and cook the other side.

Remove from the pan and cut into 4 equal portions.
