Calories 265 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large potato, 12 oz
  • ½ cup fresh onion, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil plus more as needed
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional or to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Scrub the potato and, if desired, peel.
  • Using a box grater or grater attachment on a food processor, shred the potato using the largest holes. Grate potato on the long side to get longer shreds.
  • Submerge potatoes in a bowl of water and swirl around with your hand. Use a fine mesh colander to strain out the water. Repeat this process 1-2 more times until the water remains clear.*
  • After potatoes are strained the last time, place them on a linen hand towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze as much water out as possible.
  • Heat oil in a cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes and onions. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, paprika and cayenne pepper over the mixture and stir to combine.
  • Allow potatoes to cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes or until the bottom is brown.
  • Turn in 2 or 3 sections and allow to cook undisturbed 2-3 minutes until the bottom is browned.
  • Continue turning the potatoes every few minutes until desired crispiness is achieved, about 10 minutes. Add more olive as necessary for potatoes to continue to sizzle. A non-stick pan will require less oil than a cast iron or stainless steel skillet.
  • Serve immediately.
  • * At this point, potatoes can be left in water and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
  • Hack: Leftover hash browns can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, place in a skillet over medium heat just until warm.

Potatoes are considered “empty calories” by many but nothing could be further from the truth!

Suggestion:  These potatoes would go great alongside Scrambled Egg with Spinach, Tomato and Onion or 3 egg omelette with asparagus!
