Homemade Hash Browns - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 large potatoes, peeled
1 medium onion
1 large egg, beaten
salt & freshly ground black pepper (I use seasoned salt)
cooking oil (for frying)

Preparation

Grate the potatoes along with the onion, hand-squeeze out the moisture if desired.
Add in the beaten egg and lots of salt; mix well.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot.
Scoop in spoonfuls of the potato mixture, and flatten into patties about 1/2-inch thick (you can make these as large as you like).
Brown the patties on both sides, adding more oil as needed.
Serve hot.
