How To Make easy homemade hash browns

• 
  Step 1
  In a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron skillet, heat up olive oil (or whatever fat you choose) over medium-high heat.
• 
  Step 2
  In the meantime, get out your box grater, flat grater, or food processor and grate the potatoes.
• 
  Step 3
  Grate any onion, peppers, or other veggie of your choosing. Stir all the grated ingredients together with any seasonings you want to use.
• 
  Step 4
  When the oil is hot, add the potatoes and grated veggies into the skillet and round up the edges. Press down on the potatoes to even them out. Wait patiently for the potatoes to cook and brown. Press them down occasionally. Don’t flip them too soon!

  Step 5
  When you think they may be brown enough, lift an edge to check. When in doubt, leave them alone for a few more minutes. Then cut them in half with your spatula and flip. Sometimes, the flip goes well, and sometimes not so much. They will still be delicious! Brown the other side. I turn up the heat a little towards the end to make the hash browns more crispy, but watch carefully. (I personally like a few almost burnt edges.) Others like a sprinkling of shredded cheese to melt on top while you’re waiting.
