Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 russet potatoes (about 3 pounds), peeled, coarsely shredded
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
8 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
2 bunches scallions, greens and whites separated, thinly sliced
Coarse sea salt (such as Maldon)

Steps:

  • Rinse potatoes in a colander under cold water until water runs clear. Squeeze firmly to remove excess liquid. Transfer to a large bowl. Add salt and pepper; toss to coat.
  • Heat 6 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of potatoes; press gently into an even layer. Sprinkle with scallion whites. Top with remaining potatoes; press gently again. Cook until golden brown on bottom and sides, 10-15 minutes.
  • Slide hash browns onto a plate. Carefully place skillet upside down over hash browns and flip to invert into skillet, browned side up. Drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons oil around sides of skillet. Cook hash browns until bottom is golden brown, 10-15 minutes longer; slide onto a plate and season with sea salt. Top with scallion greens and cut into wedges.
  • DO AHEAD: Hash browns can be made 1 hour ahead. Place on a wire rack set inside a large rimmed baking sheet and keep them in a 200°F oven. Top with scallions before serving.

Tips:

  • For crispy hash browns, choose starchy potatoes such as Russet or Yukon Gold.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Shred the potatoes using a box grater or a food processor fitted with a shredding blade. Avoid using a blender or a juicer, as they will produce too much moisture.
  • Squeeze out as much moisture from the shredded potatoes as possible using a cheesecloth or a paper towel. This will help the hash browns to crisp up nicely.
  • Season the hash browns with salt, pepper, and other desired spices before cooking. You can also add grated cheese, chopped onions, or bell peppers for extra flavor.
  • Cook the hash browns in a well-seasoned skillet over medium heat. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the hash browns will steam instead of frying.
  • Use a spatula to press down on the hash browns occasionally to help them cook evenly.
  • Cook the hash browns until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.

Skillet hash browns are a versatile and delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
