Ingredients
Scale
For the Beef:
- 2 large potatoes
- 1 ½ tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon potato starch
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons rice flour
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Grate the Potatoes: Start by grating the potatoes using a box grater. Once grated, transfer the potatoes to a bowl of ice water and let them sit for 20 minutes. The cold water helps remove excess starch and makes the hash browns crispier when fried.
- Drain and Squeeze the Potatoes: After the 20 minutes, drain the water from the potatoes and use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the shredded potatoes to the pan and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are slightly golden and softened.
- Cool the Potatoes: Transfer the cooked potatoes into a bowl and let them cool slightly for a few minutes.
- Prepare the Dough: Once the potatoes have cooled, add the salt, garlic powder, potato starch, cornstarch, rice flour, and water. Mix everything together until a thick dough-like consistency forms. If the dough is too thick, add a splash more water to reach the right consistency.
- Shape the Hash Browns: Using your hands, shape the potato mixture into rectangular hash browns. Once shaped, transfer the hash browns to a lined plate and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Fry the Hash Browns: In a non-stick pan or pot, heat about an inch of oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chilled hash browns to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese or parmesan on top of the hash browns before frying for an extra cheesy crunch.
- Mix in veggies: Add onions, peppers, or spinach to the potato mixture for more flavor and texture.
- Season to taste: Experiment with different seasonings such as paprika, chili powder, or fresh herbs to customize the flavor.
