I chose to cook a very popular recipe in the USA and UK today, but I will do it in my style as I learned in Transylvania. Get ready for my amazing homemade hash browns recipe! These crispy delights are perfect for breakfast, but they also shine as an appetizer or side dish with meat in my country. I'll even serve them with a cool yogurt dip for extra flavour.

  • Homemade Hash Browns Recipe

Although the hash browns recipe was first encountered in the United States, it has many variations worldwide, under different names such as "rösti" in Switzerland or "tócsni" in Hungary. My recipe starts from the Hungarian version, to which I will add small changes, and you will see that it will be delicious.

Ingredients

This recipe, in my version is so simple that it requires only a few ingredients, namely three, potatoes, eggs and wheat flour.

Homemade Hash Browns Recipe-Potatoes, Eggs and Flour

Quantitatively, I can say that for four people, I used 1.2 kg of white potatoes, two large eggs and three tablespoons of wheat flour. Because we will scrape the potatoes, it is preferable to choose larger potatoes to make our work easier.

Along with the potatoes, we will serve a dip for which we need four tablespoons of Greek yoghurt of 10% fat (or sour cream) and a bunch of chives.

How to Make the Homemade Hash Browns Recipe?

Clean and Grate the Potatoes

You will see that the recipe is very simple, and we start with preparing the main ingredient, the potatoes, which we first peel.

We will grate them, I chose to pass them through the small grater so I can squeeze more liquid from them, but it is also possible through the large grater if you want.

After I have scraped them, I squeeze them well with my hands, but you can also use a kitchen towel. The better the potatoes are squeezed, the less flour we need in the recipe.

Add the Rest of the Ingredients

Put the squeezed potatoes in a mixing bowl and sprinkle wheat flour over them and mix with a wooden spoon until the flour has integrated into the potatoes and absorbed the remaining liquid.

We are going to add the two eggs over the potatoes. I added them whole, but if you want, you can first beat them with a whisk and then add them.

Stir again to incorporate eggs and then season with a teaspoon of sea salt, one teaspoon of freshly ground pepper, half a teaspoon of garlic powder and a teaspoon of a vegetable mix for soups.

Stir again and be ready; we can start frying. Watch the consistency of the mixture. If it seems too wet and puddles of liquid form, add a bit more flour, but mix it in gently.

Frying the Hash Browns

Heat four tablespoons of sunflower oil in a frying pan, but you can also use olive oil or another type of oil. Take a portion of potatoes by hand and flatten them in the palm to a thickness of about 0.5 inches (about 1-1.5 cm) and put them in the pan to fry.

Fry these hash browns until they turn golden, about a minute on medium heat, then turn them and fry them on the other side.

The ideal texture would be crispy on the outside and slightly soft on the inside. Once fried, transfer the potatoes to a paper towel-lined bowl to absorb excess oil. Keep frying until you finish cooking all the potatoes.

How to Make the Hash Browns Dip?

Many types of sauces can be served with hash browns, and I chose the fastest, Greek yoghurt with chives. In a serving bowl, I will put four tablespoons of Greek yoghurt and a bunch of finely chopped chives.

Spiced it up with a half teaspoon of fresh black pepper and some lemon juice (a teaspoon to be exact). Gave it all a good mix with a spoon, and voila! Ready to eat! If you want, add crushed garlic or a tablespoon of sweet chilli sauce. It will also be delicious.
