Golden Hashbrowns
The ingredients
* 2 Large Russet Potatoes: (Russets are best because they have the highest starch content).
* 2 tbsp Clarified Butter or Neutral Oil: (Grapeseed or Avocado oil works well for high heat).
* Salt & Black Pepper: To taste.
* Shredded Cheddar Cheese
* Green Bell Peppers
* One Onion
* Optional: A pinch of garlic powder or onion powder for that "diner" flavor.
The Process
1. Cut up your potatoes in squares. Don’t worry about peeling them if you like a rustic look—just wash them well first.
2. The "Big Squeeze": This is the secret step. Place your cut up potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Twist the towel and squeeze over the sink with all your might. You’ll be surprised how much water comes out!
3. Preheat the Pan: Get a heavy skillet (cast iron is king here) over medium-high heat. Add your oil/butter and wait until it shimmers.
4. The Sear: Spread the potatoes in a thin, even layer. Do not move them. Let them sizzle for 5–6 minutes until the bottom is a deep, dark brown.
5. The Flip: Flip them in sections (or one big move if you're feeling brave). Add a tiny bit more oil to the edges if the pan looks dry. Cook for another 4–5 minutes.
6. Season Last: Salt draws out moisture, so hit them with the salt and pepper immediately after they come out of the pan to keep them crispy. Or season as they are frying in the pan.
7. Serve
