Peel the potato.
Using a box grater, grate the potato into a bowl of water.
Once the potato is grated, dump out the water and pour the grated potato into a colander or strainer.
Rinse the potato in cold water until the water runs clear, which means the starch is gone.
Squeeze as much water as you can out of the potato.
Spread the potato out on towels and use them to get the potatoes dryer.
Once you have done that, let the potatoes sit and dry for at least 10 minutes.
Place an 8" or so skillet over medium to medium-high heat burner.
Put your oil and your butter into the skillet.
Once your butter has started to turn a little golden brown you can add your hashbrowns.
Add your hashbrowns in an even layer and gently pat them down.
Once you have done that, cover your skillet with a lid.
Leave the lid on for 5 minutes, WITHOUT PEEKING, so that the potatoes will steam cook and the bottom will get nicely brown.
At the end of the 5 minutes, add your salt and pepper, and then FLIP the hashbrowns.
Cook them for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve them with your other favorite breakfast fixings.
