Hash Brown Potato Recipe Description: Crispy, satisfying, homemade hash browns ~ a perennial breakfast favorite! Prep Time: 10 MinutesCook Time: 20 MinutesServings: 3 Servings Difficulty: Moderate Recipe Ingredients: 1 pound of potatoes 3 T butter Unrefined sea salt freshly ground black pepper ground cayenne pepper (optional) paprika (optional) Recipe Instructions: Carefully scrub your potatoes. Grate them, and as you do so, put them into a bowl of cold filtered water, enough to cover the potatoes. Begin heating a heavy skillet on medium/low heat. Pour the grated potatoes into a colander, and then rinse them thoroughly under cold running water, stirring them around with your hand. Allow to drain and press as much water as you can out of the grated potatoes. Pour them onto a clean dish towel and press more water out using the towel. Add the butter to your heated skillet. Allow it to melt. Dump the grated potatoes into the heated skillet that contains the melted butter. Spread them out. Now you can season them. I use salt and pepper to taste, a tiny amount of ground cayenne and a nice sprinkling of paprika. Let the potatoes cook for about 4 minutes and then start stirring them around every minute or two. Continue to cook, moving them around frequently until they are nice and soft. Turn up the heat a little and press them down into the skillet. Cook until the underside is as brown as you like, and flip them over (it is not necessary to keep them all in one piece) and cook until the underside is brown also.
