Ingredients
  

Hash Brown Patties
  • 3 cups frozen shredded hash browns thawed
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup onion finely grated
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil for frying
  • fresh parsley chopped, optional garnish

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Place the thawed hash browns in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
  2. Transfer the dried hash browns to a mixing bowl.
  3. Add flour, egg, grated onion, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  4. Shape the mixture into small, flat patties using your hands.
  5. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  6. Carefully place the patties into the hot oil, leaving space between them.
  7. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the patties and drain on paper towels.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.

Notes

For extra crispiness, be sure to remove as much moisture as possible from the hash browns. These patties pair well with eggs, sour cream, or a dipping sauce.
