Swooning Over Brunch: Waffle House Style Hash Browns
Waffle House has the BEST Hash Browns Ever. This is my attempt to re-recreate their perfectly crispy hash brown recipe. Grated potatoes are griddled until golden brown on the outside but still tender inside. Now you can make this popular breakfast side dish right at home! This recipe is for about 2 servings. You will probably want to double or triple it!

Ingredients
- 1 TBSP vegetable oil
- 1 TBSP butter
- 2 Medium Russet potatoes
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Grate the potatoes with the large holes of a box grater.
- Rinse the grated potatoes in a bowl of cool water and then drain them on a kitchen towel or paper towel. Squeeze out the excess water. You will want to remove as much moisture from the potatoes as you can.
- Heat the oil and butter on a large, flat cast iron griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat of the pan to medium. Immediately "scatter" the potatoes over the oil. Season with salt, to taste. Cook, without stirring, until the outermost edges have started to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Flip the hash browns and cook until the bottom side is golden brown.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
