Instructions
- Using a clean kitchen towel, firmly squeeze the grated potatoes to remove as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving crispy hashbrowns.
- Heat the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until it starts to sizzle.
- Add the grated potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out in an even layer. Press down the potatoes with a spatula for a compact and even crisp.
- Cook undisturbed for 10 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and crispy.
- Flip the hashbrowns using a large spatula. Cook for another 10 minutes, or until the other side is equally golden and crispy.
- Lower the heat and drizzle the maple syrup evenly over the hashbrowns, stirring gently to ensure an even coat.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss the hashbrowns again to distribute the seasoning.
- Serve warm, ideally with a side of scrambled eggs or bacon for a complete breakfast.
Tips
- For extra crispiness, avoid stirring the potatoes too often. Let them sit and get golden brown before flipping.
- For a savory version, you can add diced onions or bell peppers to the skillet before adding the potatoes.
