Ingredients
- 1 3/10 lb potatoes
- 3 1/2 oz mozzarella
- 5 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1Place the peeled potatoes in a pot of cold water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 8 minutes until just tender but still firm.
- 2Drain the potatoes and spread them on a baking sheet to cool for 5 minutes; you may also rinse them under cold water to stop cooking.
- 3Grate the warm potatoes using a coarse grater or food processor, then place the shreds in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
- 4In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, shredded mozzarella, cornstarch, beaten egg, and salt. Mix until the mixture holds together when pressed.
- 5Using your hands, shape the mixture into oval patties about 1‑1.5 cm thick, roughly 8‑10 cm long.
- 6Line a baking tray with parchment paper, place the patties on it, and freeze for 30–60 minutes until firm to the touch.
- 7Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat (about 356°F / 350°F).
- 8Add the frozen hashbrown patties to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan; fry for 3‑4 minutes on each side until deep golden brown and crispy.
- 9Transfer the cooked hashbrowns to a paper‑towel‑lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- 10Serve immediately while hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.
