Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled, washed, and halved horizontally
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 31g
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional, for extra savory flavor
  • A pinch of freshly ground black pepper optional, for a subtle kick

Method
 

Step 1: Gather Your Equipment
  1. Get your skillet or baking sheet ready. For frying, a non-stick skillet is perfect, but you can also use an air fryer. If you're opting for the oven, preheat it to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2: Heat the Oil (if frying)
  1. If you’re frying, pour about 1 cup of vegetable oil into the skillet. Heat over medium-high until hot but not smoking. You’ll know it’s ready when a drop of water sizzles upon contact.
Step 3: Add the Hash Brown Patties
  1. Carefully place your frozen patties in the hot oil. Don’t overcrowd the pan. Allow them to cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown.
Step 4: Flip and Cook the Other Side
  1. Using a spatula, gently turn the patties over. Let them cook for another 4-5 minutes. You want both sides crispy and beautifully browned.
Step 5: Drain and Serve
  1. Once done, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle a little extra salt if desired. Serve hot!

Notes

  • Avoid Overcrowding: This ensures each patty cooks evenly and crisps up nicely.
  • Try Air Frying: If you’d like a healthier version, air frying achieves the same crispiness with less oil.
  • Experiment with Toppings: Consider dressing them with cheese, sour cream, or even chopped green onions for an extra flavor boost.
  • Check for Doneness: Ensure they reach a nice golden color. If they look pale, they need a wee bit more time in the pan or oven.
  • Go for the Oven: If you don’t want the mess of frying, bake them on a lined baking sheet for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
