Hash Browns

Posted in : Veg/Non Veg on August 16, 2020 by : Simmi Iyer

Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes, peeled
• 1 medium onion
• 1 egg, beaten
• salt and pepper
• vegetable oil for frying

Method

1. Coarsely grate the potatoes and onion into a clean tea towel and then squeeze out the excess liquid by twisting the towel. Place the mix in a large bowl.
2. Add the egg, a good couple of pinches of salt and freshly ground black pepper (you need to salt the mixture well otherwise the hash browns can be quite bland). Mix the ingredients well.
3. Heat a good glug of oil in a heavy based frying pan and when the oil is hot (but not smoking), add spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the pan and flatten into patties about 1cm/½in thick. Flip over once browned and crispy – about 2–3 minutes each side.
4. Serve hot as a breakfast or supper side dish. Especially good with bacon and eggs.
