- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the grated potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch.
- Place the grated potatoes in a clean towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
- Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Notes
- Make sure to remove as much moisture as possible from the grated potatoes to achieve crispy results.

- Keep the heat medium to avoid burning while ensuring the hashbrowns cook evenly.
