Ingredients

• 5 large russet potatoes (Peeled and diced into large chunks)
• salt (For salting the boiling water and seasoning; to taste)
• 0.5 tsp black pepper powder
• 1 tbsp garlic powder (For the hash brown mixture)
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 0.25 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (Some additional Parmesan is sprinkled on top before serving)
• oil (For greasing hands and deep-frying; amount not specified)
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise (For the sauce)
• 0.25 cup ketchup (For the sauce)
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (For the sauce)
• 1 tsp garlic powder (For the sauce)
• salt (For the sauce; to taste)
• black pepper (For the sauce; to taste)
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard (For the sauce)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the peeled, large-chunked russet potatoes in a saucepan and cover them with salted water. Partially boil the potatoes until they are about 50% cooked.

2. 2

   Drain the potatoes, then leave them in the same saucepan for 10 minutes so the remaining water evaporates.

3. 3

   Shred the potatoes with a grater and transfer the shreds to a mixing bowl.

4. 4

   Season the shredded potatoes with salt, the measured black pepper, and the hash brown garlic powder.

5. 5

   Add the cornstarch and mix it into the seasoned potatoes.

6. 6

   Add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and mix until the ingredients are combined.

7. 7

   Grease your hands with oil, then form the potato mixture into thin oval shapes.

8. 8

   Lay the formed hash browns flat on a parchment-lined sheet. Freeze them for 15 to 20 minutes, until firm.

9. 9

   While the hash browns chill, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, sauce garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard for the sauce. Mix until combined.

10. 10

    Heat the frying oil to 350°F (175°C).

11. 11

    Deep-fry the hash browns over medium heat in batches of 2 to 3 at a time for 4 to 6 minutes, flipping them halfway through.

12. 12

    Before serving, sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese over the fried hash browns. Serve warm with the sauce.
