Per 2 portions
- 4 potatoes
- onion
- 1 clove garlic
- salt
- pepper
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- Thyme
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
-
Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Peel them and then roughly grate them. Immediately soak the grated potatoes in a bowl with ice‑cold water, so they don't oxidise and change colour.
-
Peel and roughly chop the onion and garlic. You can also grate the onion.
-
Take the potatoes out of the water and squeeze the excess water, or pat them dry with a teatowel or kitchen towel. Try to get as much water out as you can.
-
Mix the drained potatoes, chopped onion and garlic, salt, pepper and chopped fresh thyme. To make them extra crunchy, add a tablespoon of flour and mix well.
-
Heat a mixture of oil and butter over medium‑high heat. This combination makes the hash browns crispier and more delicious.
-
Pour in the potato mixture and form a 1cm thick circle or rectangle.
-
Fry the hash browns on both sides until crispy. Transfer them onto a plate with a kitchen towel, which will absorb any excess fat.
-
You can serve the hashbrown with your favourite sauce. Enjoy!
