If your mom is anything like me, she loves a good hash brown. I never realized they could be this easy. A few years back, I started making simple hash browns at home by first grating a russet potato and then cooking it up on a well-seasoned skillet with ghee, or clarified butter. I didn't bother adding any flour or eggs as binder. Instead, on a whim, I just heated the ghee (you can also use a quality oil - even olive) and then added the grated potato.
Just one is enough for two people. I pressed it down, put a lid on it, and let it brown up. Then, flip it and cook until both sides are golden brown and absolutely delicious. I finish it off with a Himalayan pink salt and our chaat masala. Honestly, this is the most delicious and addictive thing I make. Give it a try and let me know what Mom thinks!

Sooooooooo good, unreal. First time I made them was just delicious. Maybe one small thing I could of done was leave them in the pan an additional 1 – 2 minutes for additional browning, but frankly, hee, hee, I didnt care. They turned out to be a very special snack.
