Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 medium russet potatoes, shredded
½ medium onion, finely chopped
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 cup oil for frying, or as needed
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Rinse shredded potatoes until water is clear, then drain and squeeze dry. Place shreds in a bowl, and mix in the onion, flour and egg until evenly distributed.
Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is sizzling hot, place potatoes into the pan in a 1/2 inch thick layer. Cover the whole bottom of the pan, or make separate piles like pancakes. Cook until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip over and brown on the other side. It should take at least 5 minutes per side. If you are cooking them in one big piece, it can be cut into quarters for easier flipping.
Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Shred the potatoes using the largest holes of a box grater for a thicker hash brown.
Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes before cooking.
Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the hash browns in a single layer.
Do not overcrowd the pan, or the hash browns will steam instead of fry.
Flip the hash browns only once, when the underside is golden brown.
Season the hash browns with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
Serve the hash browns immediately with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Masala hash browns are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect masala hash browns every time.
