1️⃣ Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment.

2️⃣ Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them sit for about 5 minutes. This helps remove excess starch.

3️⃣ Drain the potatoes and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

4️⃣ In a large skillet, heat the butter and vegetable oil over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.

5️⃣ Add the grated potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out evenly. Season with salt and black pepper.

6️⃣ Cook the potatoes without stirring for about 5-7 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

7️⃣ Flip the potatoes over and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the other side is also golden brown and crispy.

8️⃣ Remove the hash browns from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.

9️⃣ Serve hot and enjoy your crispy homemade hash browns!
