Ingredients
- 1 kilogram Potato
- 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- Step 1: Grate the potatoes using a cheese grater. Squeeze out the excess liquid and transfer the grated potatoes into a bowl.

FAQs
Can I use frozen potatoes for this recipe?
Fresh potatoes work best, but if using frozen, make sure to thaw completely and squeeze out all excess moisture before mixing to avoid soggy hash browns.
Why do I need to bake the hash browns after frying?
Baking ensures the patties cook all the way through and helps maintain their shape and crispiness without burning the outside on the stove.

- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Description
Crispy and golden homemade hash browns made from freshly grated potatoes, blended with flour, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, pan-fried to perfection and finished with a gentle oven bake for extra crispness.
Ingredients
Potato Mixture
- 1 kilogram Potato
- 2 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- Salt to taste
- Ground Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Grate the Potatoes: Run your potato over a cheese grater until fully grated. Then, squeeze out and remove any excess liquid before transferring the grated potatoes into a separate bowl to prevent sogginess.
- Prepare the Mixture: In the mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, egg, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a cohesive batter that will bind the potatoes together.
- Form and Fry Patties: Divide the potato mixture evenly and shape into small patties. Heat oil in a frying pan and cook each patty for about 2 minutes per side until they develop a golden brown and crispy exterior.
- Bake for Crispiness: After frying all the patties, place them on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 250 degrees Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius) for approximately 10 minutes. This final step helps further crisp and fully cook the hash browns.
Notes
- Removing excess potato liquid is essential to achieve crispiness.
- You can adjust the seasoning to your preference, adding herbs or spices if desired.
- Use oil with a high smoke point like vegetable or canola oil for frying.
- Serving suggestion: Enjoy with ketchup, sour cream, or your favorite breakfast sides.
