Hash Brown Potato Recipe

Find this and other recipes in the POTATO RECIPES collection.
Start preparing hash brown potatoes by washing and peeling the potatoes with a peeler.
Grate the potatoes onto a kitchen dish towel using a coarse grater.
Peel the onion and grate it with the same grater onto the dish towel.
Squeeze the grated potatoes and onion well to remove as much liquid as possible.
Transfer everything into a bowl and adjust with salt and black pepper.
Beat a medium-sized egg and add it to the potatoes.
Mix with a spatula or spoon until the egg is fully blended with the other ingredients: you need to get a fairly sticky mixture that holds together when scooped with a spoon.
Heat the peanut oil in a pan.
Add a spoonful of the mixture and flatten it with the back of the spoon.
Cook until the pancake is nicely golden, which will take about 3 minutes.
Flip the pancake and cook on the other side for the same time.
Blot the hash brown potatoes with paper towels to remove excess oil and serve them immediately.
