Place shredded potatoes in a bowl of cold water and stir until water is cloudy and starchy. Next, drain the potatoes. Working in batches, transfer potatoes to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze and twist the towel over the sink to get as much liquid out as possible (this will help you get your hash browns crispy). Return to dry bowl, season with salt and pepper.

Once butter is melted, turn it up to medium-high. Add potatoes and spread evenly. Cook without stirring for at least 5 minutes, until underside has started to brown. Gently break up potatoes and flip them over, and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, turning once or twice until most hash browns are nicely browned on both sides. If potatoes are too dry, add in addition 1-2 tablespoons melted butter.
