Grate the peeled potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the grated potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out into an even layer.
Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the hash browns for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, transfer the hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.
Serve the IHOP-style hash browns hot as a delicious side dish for breakfast or brunch.
