8ozunsalted & melted Butterpreferably high-quality for a rich taste
4tbsphealthy vegetable oilfor frying, a neutral oil like canola or grapeseed works well to achieve a crisp exterior
1/4tspfreshly ground pepper for optimal flavor
Instructions
Grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor with the shredding attachment.
Rinse the grated potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a paper towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, salt, and pepper.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil.
Once the fat has melted and is sizzling, spread the potato mixture evenly in the pan.
Using a spatula, press the potatoes down to form an even layer.
Let the hash browns cook for 5-6 minutes on one side without disturbing them.
Flip the hash browns in sections using a spatula and add more butter and oil as needed.
Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until both sides are crispy and golden brown.
Serve hot and enjoy your IHOP hash browns!
Notes
• Be sure to use a non-stick skillet so the potatoes don’t stick to the pan.• If the potatoes start to stick to the pan, add a little more butter.• You can customize the seasoning to your liking.• For extra flavor, try adding grated Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs.• Be sure to flip the potatoes a few times while cooking to ensure even cooking.• For a vegetarian option, omit the butter and use vegetable oil instead.
