SERVES 4
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 cups russet potatoes, peeled and grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter or vegan margarine (e.g., Earth Balance)
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Begin by preparing the russet potatoes. Peel and grate them, setting them aside for later.
- In your pressure cooker, add the olive oil and butter (or vegan margarine). Heat them over medium heat until they reach the desired temperature.
- Once the oil and butter are ready, add the grated potatoes to the pressure cooker. Sauté them for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. You’ll know they’re ready when they start to turn a delicious golden brown. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
- To achieve that signature hash brown crispiness, use a wide metal spatula to firmly press the potatoes down in the pan.
- Lock the lid of your pressure cooker in place and bring it to low pressure. Maintain the pressure for 6 minutes. Once done, remove the pressure cooker from heat and quick-release the pressure.
TIPS:
- Prepare the Potatoes: For crispy hash browns, rinse the grated potatoes under cold running water for about a minute to remove excess starch. Afterward, ensure they are thoroughly dried either by air drying or using a towel.
