Crispy Cheesy Hash Browns

Ingredients:

• 3 small russet potatoes, peeled
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp butter, softened
• 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• Oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the potatoes to the pot and boil for 6 minutes.
2. Drain the potatoes and rinse with cold water until cool enough to handle.
3. Grate the potatoes and add the grated potatoes to a medium-sized bowl.
4. Add the flour, egg, softened butter, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix until everything is well combined.
5. Use a greased 1/3 cup measuring cup to portion out the mixture and form into patties with your hands.
6. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
7. Add the hash browns to the skillet in batches, cooking for 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Add more oil as needed. Transfer the cooked hash browns to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
9. Serve the crispy cheesy hash browns hot and enjoy!
