Instructions

  1. Cook whole potatoes in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 10 minutes; drain and let cool.
  2. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, grate them with a coarse grater.
  3. In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil and butter together and cook hash browns over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes on each side, or until crisp and well-browned.
  4. Resist the temptation to stir them around; just lift up an edge periodically to check on browning.
  5. Serve immediately.
