- 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
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.
