Delight in these healthier, low-calorie hash browns that are crispy, satisfying, and easy to make, perfect for a flavorful breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized Russet Potatoes
  • 1 small Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
  • 1 large Egg (optional for binding)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Start by washing and peeling your russet potatoes. Once they’re clean, grate them using a box grater or food processor.
  2. Remove Excess Moisture: After grating, transfer the potatoes to a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible.
  3. Mix it Up: In a large bowl, add the grated potatoes, chopped onion, salt, pepper, and paprika. If using an egg, whisk it first and then fold it into the mixture.
  4. Heat the Pan: In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  5. Spoon in the Mix: Take a generous tablespoon of the potato mixture and carefully drop it into the hot skillet.
  6. Cook Until Golden: Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes on one side until crispy and golden, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  7. Keep Warm: Once cooked, keep them warm in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) while finishing the batch.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot, paired with your favorite breakfast sides.

Notes

For a lower-carb option, replace half or all of the potatoes with grated cauliflower.
