Instructions
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add 1 Tbsp. butter until melted and foam subsides, swirling skillet to keep butter from burning.
Add potatoes; press with a spatula into a disk.
Cook potatoes (without stirring) until golden brown on the edges, 7–8minutes.
Slide hash browns onto a large plate, cover with another plate, then invert so the browned side is up.
Melt remaining 1 Tbsp. butter in skillet over medium-high heat. Slide hash browns back into skillet, browned side up; cook until golden brown, 5–6minutes. Season hash browns with salt and pepper.
For crisp hash browns, dry potatoes well. A paper-towel-lined salad spinner makes it quick and easy
Firmly press the potato shreds to form a cake and expose the most surface area for crisp browning.
