Discover how to make crispy hash brown patties with just five main ingredients. Perfect for breakfast, these patties are a versatile and delicious choice.
Rinse the grated potatoes in cold water, then squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel.
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, onion, flour, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Heat a generous amount of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Scoop about ¼ cup of the potato mixture for each patty and flatten it directly in the hot skillet. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each patty for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve warm with your choice of accompaniments.
Notes
Dry the Potatoes: After grating, squeeze out as much moisture as possible for crispy patties.
• Preheat the Oil: Make sure the oil is hot before adding the patties to avoid sogginess.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cook in batches to ensure each patty gets crispy.
• Flip Carefully: Wait until the edges are golden before flipping for the best texture.
• Keep Warm in Oven: If making a large batch, keep finished patties warm in a low oven while cooking the rest.
