Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Saucepan
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • 2 large russet potatoes approximately 30 oz (2 * 15 oz), scrubbed and finely grated
  • 4 tbsp high-quality vegetable oil for frying 2 * 2 tbsp, such as cold-pressed olive oil for a distinctive taste
  • 8 oz premium unsalted butter melted (2 * 4 oz), preferably European-style for a rich, creamy flavor
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper 2 * 1/8 tsp, to add a subtle kick
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan pink salt 2 * 1/4 tsp, for a hint of mineral richness

Instructions

  • Begin by thoroughly scrubbing and finely grating 30 oz of russet potatoes. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel.
  • Shape the grated potatoes into flat, compact rounds, each about 4-5 inches in diameter, ensuring even pressing for uniform cooking.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  • Carefully place the shaped potato rounds into the hot oil and cook each side until golden brown and crispy, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Cook in batches if necessary.
  • Transfer the cooked hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  • While the hash browns are still hot, season them with 1/8 tsp of freshly ground black pepper and 1/4 tsp of Himalayan pink salt.
  • In a small saucepan, melt 4 ounces of premium unsalted butter over low heat. Drizzle the melted butter over the crispy hash browns just before serving.
  • Serve the IHOP-style hash browns immediately while hot, and consider offering extra melted butter on the side for dipping. Enjoy the crispy, buttery goodness!

Notes

  • Here are some tips for making the perfect IHOP hash browns:
  • Use a box grater or a food processor to grate the potatoes. This will ensure that the potatoes are evenly grated and will cook evenly.
  • If you don’t have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead.
  • Make sure to spread the potatoes out in an even layer when cooking them. This will ensure that they cook evenly and become golden brown and crispy on both sides.
  • You can add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or mushrooms, to the hash browns.
  • You can add cheese to the hash browns for an extra cheesy flavor.
  • You can also add bacon or sausage to the hash browns for an extra meaty flavor.
