Extra Crispy Restaurant Style Hashbrown Patties
Yield: 6 hasbrowns
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Super simple restaurant style hashbrown patties. Super crispy outside with soft tender insides. Goes with just about any breakfast. These are super easy and sure to impress!
Ingredients:
2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and shredded
1 egg
1/4 cup shredded parmesan
3 Tablespoons chives, thinly sliced
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon chile powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup oil for frying, or as needed
Directions:
Rinse shredded potatoes until water is clear, then drain and squeeze dry. Place shreds in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg, parmesan, chives, flour, seasoned salt, chile powder, basil, cumin, and pepper. Add to shredded potatoes and mix until evenly distributed.
Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is sizzling hot, scoops out 1/4 cup potato mixture into the pan and flatten to a 1/2 inch thick layer. Cook until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip over and brown on the other side. It should take at least 5 minutes per side.
Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Season with a little extra salt and pepper, if desired, and serve immediately.
