Pressure Cooker Hash Browns

Pressure Cooker Hash Browns

Ingredients:
4 cups russet potatoes, peeled and grated
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions:
1. Prepare the potatoes (see below) and set aside.
2. Add the oil and butter to a pressure cooker and bring to temperature over medium heat.
3. Add the hash brown potatoes; sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are just beginning to brown. Season with the salt and pepper.
4. Use a wide metal spatula to press the potatoes down firmly in the pan.
5. Lock the lid in place and bring to low pressure; maintain pressure for 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and quick-release the pressure.

Preparing the Potatoes:
Rinsing and thoroughly drying the grated potatoes will help you achieve a crispy brown exterior. After grating the potatoes, pour them into a colander and let sit under running cold water for 1 minute. Then let the potatoes air-dry or use a towel to remove excess water before cooking.
