Hashbrowns
- 5 russet potatoes
- 3 tbsp corn starch
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup white cheddar
- 1/4 cup parmesan
- neutral oil
Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tsp pickle juice
Instructions
- 1Hashbrowns: Wash and peel the potatoes, then add them to a pot of cold water with 2 tbsp salt; bring to a boil and cook 10–12 minutes until the outsides are tender but the centers remain firm.
- 2Drain the potatoes and let them cool, then coarsely grate them using the large holes of a box grater and squeeze out excess moisture with a clean towel or paper towels.
- 3Combine the grated potatoes with corn starch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and the grated cheeses; mix until evenly incorporated.
- 4Shape the mixture with your hands into thick oval patties, pressing tightly so they hold together.
- 5Place the patties on a parchment‑lined sheet pan or plate and freeze for at least 45 minutes, or until firm, to help them stay intact while frying.
- 6Heat neutral oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (347°F) and fry the patties in batches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy, adjusting the heat as needed.
- 7Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, sriracha (and optional pickle juice) until smooth.
- 8Serve the hot hashbrowns with the dipping sauce.
