Grate your potatoes into a large bowl with the large side of a grater.

Rinse the starch out of the grated potatoes and drain the potatoes.

The potatoes should be as dry as possible. You could also ring the liquid of the potatoes out with a dishcloth or cheesecloth. I also like to season the potatoes with some salt and let them sit on the counter for ~30 minutes.

Season the potatoes with onion and garlic granules. You can also add another additional seasoning you like here as well.

Toss the potatoes into a medium-high heat pan for approximately 10 minutes. You want to lightly cook them before preparing the hash browns and cooking them.

Once the potatoes are cooked a bit, let them cool.

When the potatoes are cooled, mix 1/4 cup flour into the potato to form a mixture. Start preparing your hash browns for frying by forming them into patties that should not be thicker than the diameter of a small coin.

To prepare for frying, heat the vegetable oil on medium-high heat. Place your hash browns into the oil to cook for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Be careful with frying! Let them rest and cool before taking a bite into them.
