Ingredients:

• 2 large russet potatoes
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions:

1. Peel and grate the russet potatoes using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, parsley, chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
3. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Spoon the potato mixture into the skillet, pressing it down with a spatula to form a flat layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
5. Flip the hashbrowns carefully and cook the other side for an additional 5-7 minutes until crispy and golden.
6. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
