Cost per serving: 50p / 50c
Equipment
- Large Non-Stick Frying Pan & Spatula/Turner
- 2 Medium/Large Mixing Bowls & Spatula
- Box Grater
- Clean Cloth
Ingredients
- 2 medium sized White Potatoes, grated on a box grater (approx 7oz/200g EACH)
- 1 Shallot, peeled & grated
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Plain/All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 tsp Salt, Black Pepper
Instructions
- Add grated potato to a mixing bowl and pour in cold water. Swish around with your hands and squeeze the potato to help remove the starch.
- Drain water and place potato shreds onto a cloth above a bowl. Add the grated shallot then wrap everything into a tight ball and squeeze out as much water as physically possible. Place potato/shallot into a clean/dry bowl.
- Add 1 tbsp flour and 1/4 tsp salt and black pepper. Use a spatula to combine. At this point the salt will draw out a small amount of moisture from the potato, just enough to glue with the flour to stick the potato shreds together. Divide potato into 6 then form into patty shapes.
- Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add patties and fry for 3-5mins each side, or until golden and crispy. Enjoy!

Notes
a) Can I prepare these ahead of time? - I recommend making them fresh, just because the longer you leave the patties, the more moisture is drawn out and the soggier they get. In turn, the most difficult they are to get crispy.
b) Can I fully make these ahead of time? - Again, they're best enjoyed fresh. But you can't tightly store any leftovers in the fridge for a few days and reheat in the oven at 180C/350F until crispy again. You can also freeze them and reheat in the oven.
c) Can I make a bigger batch of these? - Sure! Just use the sliding scale next to 'servings' at the top of the recipe card. This will automatically change the measurements for you :)
d) Calories - assuming all the oil/butter is soaked up. Per hash brown:
