These are the crispiest hashbrowns ever! They're made from scratch with raw potatoes. The secret is to wring out the shredded potatoes in a cheesecloth or kitchen towel to get rid of their extra moisture. This allows them to crisp up beautifully!
Peel and shred the potatoes on the largest holes of a box grater.
Wrap the potatoes in a cheesecloth and squeeze as much liquid out as possible. You can also use a clean kitchen cloth.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Spread the potatoes in the pan and press into an even layer. Season with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Cook undisturbed for 6-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Flip and drizzle the remaining oil around the edges. Cook for another 5-6 minutes until crispy. Enjoy!
