Curried Hashbrowns

Ingredients

• Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
• Salt (1 teaspoon, or to taste)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon, or to taste)
• Curry powder (2 tablespoons)
• Onion (1 medium, finely chopped)
• Potatoes (4 large, peeled and grated)

Instructions

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Add the potato mixture to the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Press down firmly with a spatula to compact the mixture.
5. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the bottom is a deep golden brown. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
6. Carefully flip the hashbrowns using the spatula and cook for an additional 10 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and crispy.
7. 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.
