Cheesy Hash Browns

Ingredients

(Makes 6 hash brown patties)

3 small potatoes

cup plain flour

1 egg

2 tablespoons butter, softened

½ cup cheddar cheese or any

cheese you like, shredded

¼ tsp garlic & onion powder

salt to taste

pepper to taste

2 Tbls olive or peanut oil for frying

Directions

Boil a pot of water over a 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, cheese, salt, pepper and then combine. Using your hands, form the mixture into patties (I made 6 but it depends on how small or large you want them.)

Place some vegetable oil in a frying pan (I just did four small splashes of oil – approx 4 tablespoons worth altogether) and heat on medium-high. Add the patties (I cooked 4, and then 2) and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Once cooked, let cool & drain on a paper towel for a few minutes and then serve.
