Ingredients

Steps

01.

Peel potatoes and grate coarsely. Place grated potato in a colander or large strainer and press firmly to remove as much moisture as possible.

02.

Spread grated potato over a paper towel-lined tray, pat with an extra paper towel to remove any remaining moisture then transfer to a large bowl. Add egg, flour, salt and pepper and mix well with a fork.

03.

Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil over the base of a large frypan, spoon heaped tablespoons of potato mixture into hot oil and spread out to form 6-8cm rounds using the back of a spoon. Cook until golden underneath then turn and cook the other side until browned and crisp.

04.

Remove hash browns from the pan, drain on a paper towel and keep warm. Repeat with remaining potato mixture.

Serve immediately, season with a little extra salt if desired.
