Grate your desired amount of potato with the fine side of a box grater.
With kitchen paper or a clean towel, squeeze as much moisture from the grated potato as possible.
Heat olive oil over a medium to high heat.
Pat all of the potato into a patty shape, then add it to the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes, checking occasionally until browned. Prior to flipping the hash brown, sprinkle it with the salt, habanero, and onion powder.
Flip the hash brown and cook on the other side for a few minutes until cooked through.
