01 - Rinse the grated potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove excess starch. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
02 - Place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter or oil. Allow to melt and become hot before adding potatoes.
03 - Evenly spread the grated potatoes in a thin layer in the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook undisturbed for 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown and crisp on the bottom.
04 - Carefully flip the hashbrowns and continue to cook the other side for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until evenly golden and crispy.
