While waiting for the pan to heat up, use your potato ricer to remove moisture from the grated potatoes. If you don’t have a potato ricer, you can use a paper towel to get rid of the moisture. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
When the pan is ready, put the grated potatoes in, spreading it properly. Your hash brown should only be about half an inch thick.
Add some salt and pepper.
Carefully lift the edge of your hash brown to check if it’s cooked.
When the bottom of the potato is golden brown already, use your spatula to flip the hash brown. Using a large spatula will help you easily flip the whole hash brown, but you can also cut it in half or smaller and lift each parts one at a time.
Continue cooking the other side until it turns golden brown.
When your hash brown is ready, remove it from the pan and serve.

Tips:

Apart from salt and pepper, other people use applesauce, hot sauce, sour cream, and ketchup for their hash browns.
Hash browns are commonly served with sausages, eggs, and slices of bread.
