Ingredients

  • 4 floury potatoes medium
  • 1 onion small
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper

To serve

  • fried eggs
  • bacon
  • avocados
  • tomatoes

Instructions

  • Peel the potatoes and the onion and grate coarsely with a box grater.
  • Place both in a clean kitchen towel, gather up the edges and twist the cloth to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  • Transfer to a bowl, add the egg and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Melt the butter in the olive oil in a a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add spoonfuls of the potato mix and press down lightly with a spatula to flatten into 1/2 inch thick patties. You should get about 8 hash browns from this recipe; I usually fry them 4 at a time.
  • Fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crisp, then flip over and fry for another 2-3 minutes on the reverse side.
  • Serve hot, with eggs and bacon for brunch.
