Instructions
Preparing the Potato Mixture
Peel and rinse the potatoes.
Chop them into very fine cubes.
Heat one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a pan.
Place these chopped potatoes on a strainer which is placed on a big bowl. Pour water over potatoes and rinse to wash off the starch.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet on a medium heat. Add chopped potatoes and stir fry for 5-6 minutes till tender. Make sure not to overcook and do not turn them mushy.
Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and add cornstarch in hot potatoes.
Mix well.
Shaping Hash Browns
Place the warm potato mixture on a board and flatten it after covering with a cling film. Use a roller pin to spread it evenly into a rectangular shape.
Using a knife cut this rectangle further into 6 rectangular pieces.
Gently round the corners of the rectangles to shape them.
Frying Hashbrowns
Add oil to a heavy-bottomed skillet till upto 1/4th of an inch.
Heat oil.
Place shaped patties in the oil. Keep the heat to medium low.
Fry one side for a couple of minutes. With a spatula lift to see if the edges have started turning golden. Now gently flip to the other side.
Cook the other side till golden brown and crisp. Drain to a wire rack. Serve immediately.
