Crispy Cheesy Hash Browns

Ingredients

For the Hash Browns:

700 grams potatoes, 150 grams grated mozzarella cheese, 100 grams all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For Frying:

Vegetable oil

For Serving:

Tomato sauce or ketchup

Method

1. Prepare the Potatoes

Peel the potatoes and place them in a large saucepan.

2. Boil the Potatoes

Cover the potatoes with water and add half of the salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender but not falling apart.

3. Cool the Potatoes

Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool until they are comfortable to handle.

4. Grate the Potatoes

Coarsely grate the boiled potatoes into a large mixing bowl.

5. Add the Cheese

Add the grated mozzarella to the potatoes and distribute it evenly throughout the mixture.

6. Add the Flour

Add the flour, remaining salt, and black pepper. Mix with a spatula until a soft, workable mixture forms.

7. Shape the Hash Browns

Take equal portions of the mixture and shape each one into a thick oval patty. This recipe makes approximately 9 hash browns.

8. Heat the Oil

Pour enough vegetable oil into a deep saucepan to submerge the hash browns. Heat it to approximately 175°C.

9. Fry the Hash Browns

Carefully lower the hash browns into the hot oil in small batches. Fry until crisp and deeply golden on all sides.

10. Drain the Hash Browns

Remove the cooked hash browns with tongs or a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels.

11. Serve

Serve immediately with tomato sauce or ketchup while the exterior is crisp and the cheese inside is still hot and stretchy.
