Instructions
- Begin by placing the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel. Gather the corners of the towel and twist it to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Removing excess moisture ensures crispy hashbrowns.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, finely chopped onion, curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the potatoes to achieve a perfect sear.
- Add the potato mixture to the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Press down firmly with a spatula to compact the mixture.
- Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the bottom is a deep golden brown. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
- Carefully flip the hashbrowns using the spatula and cook for an additional 10 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and serve hot. Pair them with your favorite breakfast sides like fried eggs, avocado slices, or a tangy yogurt sauce.
Tips
- For an extra kick, consider adding some chopped fresh chilies or a dash of hot sauce to the potato mixture.
