Recipe Details: McDonald’s-Style Hash Browns: Perfectly Crispy Potatoes at Home!

Serving Size: Makes 6–7 hash browns


Ingredients:

  • 7 medium potatoes, peeled (approx. 670g after peeling)
  • 2 tbsp oil (for initial cooking)
  • ⅔ tsp salt
  • 40 g cornstarch (⅓ cup)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Pinch of white pepper
  • Additional oil for frying
  • Optional garnish: dried parsley and ketchup


Instructions:

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Slice 2 potatoes thinly and dice them finely. Cut the remaining potatoes into chunks, then blend or grate until they resemble the finely diced pieces.
  2. Remove Starch: Place the potatoes in a sieve, rinse under cold water to remove excess starch, and drain well.
  3. Cook Potatoes: Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the drained potatoes and ⅔ tsp salt. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are softened and fully cooked. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
  4. Season and Shape: Gently mix the cooked potatoes with cornstarch, garlic powder, and white pepper. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.
  5. Shape Hash Browns: Place a piece of baking paper on your work surface. Spread the potato mixture on top, cover with cling wrap, and flatten with a rolling pin. Divide into 6–7 portions and shape each into a rectangle, rounding the corners to resemble McDonald’s hash browns.
  6. Fry Hash Browns: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the hash browns, cooking each side until golden brown, about 3–4 minutes per side.
  7. Serve: Drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil, sprinkle with dried parsley, and serve with ketchup if desired.

Tips for the Dish:

  • Ingredient Substitutions: Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a unique flavor. Adjust cornstarch as needed to maintain crispiness.
  • Make-Ahead: Prepare the hash brown mixture in advance, shape, and freeze on a tray. Once frozen, store in a freezer-safe container for up to a month. Simply fry from frozen when ready to eat.
  • Dietary Adjustments: For a lower-carb version, try cauliflower instead of potatoes, adjusting the cornstarch for texture.
