Peel the onion as well but do not cut or slice. Take a mandolin slicer and coarsely grate the potatoes and onion
Put the mix of potatoes and onion in a clean tea towel and squeeze out the excess liquid
Put the potato-onion mixture in a large bowl. Beat a medium size egg and add to the mixture. Stir to combine
Add a good pinch of salt and pepper without it the hash browns will taste bland
Thoroughly mix the ingredients. Preheat a skillet to medium-high heat with olive oil
Take a big spoon and put it into a round heap into the skillet. Press down to slightly flatten the patties
