Perfect Homemade Hash Browns

Recipe #93674 | 55 min | 20 min prep | add private note

By: EdsGirlAngie

They're crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and not overly greasy ... what more could you want? I especially like the flavor of the butter/oil combination rather than only oil. Add onions or jalapenos, if you like; melted cheese on top is always good, too!

SERVES 3 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Cook whole potatoes in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 10 minutes; drain and let cool.
  2. 2
    When potatoes are cool enough to handle, grate them with a coarse grater.
  3. 3
    In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil and butter together and cook hash browns over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes on each side, or until crisp and well-browned.
  4. 4
    Resist the temptation to stir them around; just lift up an edge periodically to check on browning.
  5. 5
    Serve immediately.

Thanks EdsGirlAngie! I didn't know the secret of boiling the potatoes first. Helped a lot, these were great!

    I think the pre-cooking method is good, but medium-low on my stove for frying the hash browns didn't work at all. I preheated the oil and butter, but it never got hot enough so the potatoes absorbed all the oil. After ten minutes I turned the heat up, but the damage had already been done. It took so long for them to cook that they discolored and were a little off in taste. We couldn't eat them.

    Great recipe! Never have had good luck with hashbrowns until now. I skipped the butter and used canola oil and they weren't greasy at all. Browned beautifully. Will be making them this way from now on. Thank you for posting this, Angie.

    These were Excellent! I used bacon grease in place of the vegetable oil and cooked them over medium to high heat, other then that I followed your directions exactly. They were not at all greasy, I think the key to not having greasy hash browns is to partilly cook your potatoes. My husband still thinks his are better, but I like yours, shhh. Thanks EdsGirlAngie....
