McDonald's Hash Browns Copycat
These copycat McDonald's Hash Browns taste identical to the breakfast hash browns sold in McDonalds, and only requires 2 ingredients to make!
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes shredded, 700 g
- 3 tbsp oil for stir-frying
- 6 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Shred potatoes and periodically transfer the potato shreds into a bowl of cold water to prevent oxidization (turning brown).
- Drain and wrap the shredded potatoes in a reusable towel and wring out some of the juice (Note 1).
- To a non-stick pan on medium-high heat, stir-fry the potato shreds for 9 mins until fully cooked and tender (Note 2).
- Transfer the shreds into a bowl and add cornstarch, mix until a loose dough is formed.
- Transfer potato dough to a clean surface lined with parchment paper. Roll out and flatten the dough until 1 cm thick.
- Divide the dough into 6 pieces and round the corners of the hash brown. Place into the freezer for a minimum of 30 mins.
- To a pan on medium-high heat, pour in vegetable oil (1.5 cm deep), and slide in the hash browns. Fry for 2 mins on each side.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool and serve with cold ketchup.

Notes
- Do not wring out completely dry. Wring out just enough juice so it’s not dripping wet.
- We're not aren’t aiming to brown the potatoes, just cook them enough until they’re fully cooked and tender, but not mushy.
