Ingredients
- 4 pcs russet potato
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- a generous amount neutral oil
- 1 10‑inch non‑stick skillet
Instructions
- 1Grate the potatoes on the large holes of a box grater.
- 2Transfer the grated potatoes to a large bowl, toss with the kosher salt, and let sit for 5–10 minutes to draw out moisture.
- 3Place the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible; the drier the potatoes, the better the crust.
- 4Add a generous layer of neutral oil to a 10‑inch non‑stick skillet and heat over medium until the oil shimmers.
- 5Add the shredded potatoes to the skillet, packing them firmly into an even layer with a spatula.
- 6Cook until the bottom is deep golden brown, about 8–10 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally for even cooking.
- 7To flip, place a plate larger than the skillet over the pan, then invert both in one swift motion so the hash brown lands on the plate.
- 8Add a little more oil to the skillet, slide the hash brown back in with the uncooked side down, and cook another 8–10 minutes until equally golden. If needed, flip again and cook a few extra minutes for extra crispness.
- 9Season immediately with salt and serve.

Remove excess moisture
After salting, squeeze the potatoes in a clean kitchen towel to dry them before cooking.
Even cooking
Swirl the skillet occasionally while the first side cooks to promote uniform browning.
Flip safely
