# Got 3 Potatoes? Make These Ultra-Crunchy Golden Hash Brown Patties!

# # Prep Time

15 minutes

# # Cook Time

20 minutes

# # Total Time

35 minutes

# # Servings

8 hash brown patties

# # Ingredients

* 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled
* 1 small onion, finely grated (optional)
* 2 tablespoons cornstarch
* 1 large egg
* 1 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
* 3 to 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying

# # # Optional for Extra Flavor

* 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
* 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
* 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

# # Instructions

1. Grate the potatoes using the large holes of a box grater.
2. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This is the key to crispy hash browns.
3. Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Add the grated onion, cornstarch, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
5. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture for each patty and flatten it to about 1/2 inch thick.
6. Fry the patties in batches for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until deep golden brown and crispy.
7. Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

# # Tips for the Crispiest Hash Brown Patties

* Russet potatoes produce the crispiest texture because of their high starch content.
* Squeeze out every bit of moisture before mixing the ingredients.
* Avoid overcrowding the skillet, which can lower the oil temperature.
* Keep finished patties warm on a wire rack in a 200°F oven while cooking the remaining batches.

# # Storage

Store leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to **4 days**.

# # Reheating

For the best texture, reheat in:

* **Air Fryer:** 375°F for 3 to 5 minutes
* **Oven:** 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes
* **Skillet:** Cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side

Avoid microwaving if you want to keep them crispy.

1. Preheat oven and prep pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 cups cups all-purpose flour, 1 cups cup granulated sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons teaspoon salt.
3. Cut in the butter: Cut the 1 cups cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (2 sticks) into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add egg and vanilla: Add the 1 large egg and 1 teaspoons teaspoon vanilla extract and mix until the dough just comes together and holds when pressed. It will be crumbly but should clump when squeezed.
5. Press in the crust: Press about two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Reserve the remaining dough for the topping.
6. Add the cherry filling: In a bowl, stir together the 2 cans (21 oz each) cherry pie filling and 1 tablespoons tablespoon lemon juice. Spread the cherry filling evenly over the crust.
7. Add the crumble topping: Crumble the reserved dough evenly over the top of the cherry filling, leaving some gaps so the fruit peeks through.
8. Bake: Bake until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
9. Cool completely: Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour, so they set enough to slice cleanly.
10. Glaze and slice: Whisk together the 1 cups cup powdered sugar (for glaze) and 2 tablespoons tablespoons milk (for glaze) until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bars, then lift out using the parchment overhang and slice into squares.
