This is Mcdonald Hash Brown Recipe ingredients list and instructions to make them at home.

Ingredients

• 2 large potatoes (peeled and grated)

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/4 cup cornstarch

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 large egg

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

• Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and grate the potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch. Let them soak for a few minutes, then drain and pat dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
• Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (if using). Add the egg and mix everything until well combined.
• Form the Patties: Shape the potato mixture into small oval-shaped patties, about 1/2-inch thick.
• Heat the Oil: Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the patties in the pan.
• Fry the Hash Browns: Cook each patty for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your pan.
• Drain: Remove the hash browns from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
• Serve: Serve immediately while hot and crispy! Enjoy your homemade McDonald’s-style hash browns.
