CRISPY CHEESY HASH BROWNS

INGREDIENTS

3 small potatoes

1/3 cup plain flour

1 egg

2 tbsp butter, softened

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

pinch of sea salt

pinch of pepper

vegetable oil, for frying

DIRECTIONS

Boil a pot of water over high heat. Peel and wash your potatoes, then add them to the water and boil until they are parboiled (about 6-7 minutes, they should be hard to touch but easy to grate). Drain them in a colander, and run them under cold water until cool enough to hold. Grate the potatoes.

Beat your egg in a bowl. Add the grated potatoes, flour, softened butter, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper, and then combine. Using your hands, form the mixture into patties.

Place a splash or two of vegetable oil in a frypan and heat on medium-high. Add the patties and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Once cooked, let cool on a paper towel for a few minutes and then serve.
