Method
- With the medium-sized holes of your grater, shred all the potatoes into a large bowl.
- Using some paper towels, soak up all the moisture from the potato shreds and drain them into a sink. Ensure your potato shreds are completely dry.
- In the large bowl, mix in the grated potatoes, the wheat flour, salt, black pepper, paprika and any other spices you enjoy.
- Add in the eggs and mix until all the ingredients are incorporated.
- Scoop out equal portions of the mixture into your hand and roll into equal-sized balls. Set aside.
- Ensure the hash brown patties are as thick and shaped as a hamburger patty would be so that they cook through.

- Space out the hash brown patties in the pan and cook until golden brown on each side.
