Homemade Hash Browns (Laura Vitale)

These hash browns don't look like the typical type we usually find in frozen section at the supermarkets or in Mac Donalds
But taste wise, this is just as good! And it's even better - it's homemade! No unknown ingredients in it :)
It's tasty and crispy. Very addictive!
This is so good not only for breakfast, but also as a snack :)

Recipe is from Laura Vitale. I always love watching her cooking videos. She always makes me hungry LOL

 

 

What you need:

 

1 large potato, peeled and grated

1 tbsp plain flour

2 tbsp grated onion (I sliced and grinded it)

1 egg white

a small pinch of salt, a dash of black pepper, vegetable oil

 

Method:

1. Fill a bowl with cold water. Place potatoes immediately in it after grating, let sit in the water for 10 mins
2. Remove potatoes from water using potato ricer. Add a little bit of potatoes at a time and squeeze all the excess liquid. Place them on a kitchen towel to dry them a bit more
3. Add the potatoes into a large bowl and add in flour, onion, egg, salt and pepper - mix together till well combined
4. Heat oil on a non stick pan over medium high heat (just a few tbsp - just enough to cover the bottom)
5. Scoop about 1/3 of the mixture onto the hot pan, flatten as much as possible (to maximise crispiness)
6. Cook about 5mins until it's really browned and crispy
7. If the potatoes get dark sooner, reduce the heat
