POTATOES FOR HASH BROWNS ( HOW TO PARBOIL )

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pan.
• Cover with cold water.
• Bring water to a boil over high heat.
• As soon as the water starts to boil, turn the heat off but keep the pan on the burner.
• Let the pan of potatoes stand on the burner for about 5 minutes,depending on the size of the potatoes.
• Larger potatoes may need more standing time.
• Drain all of the water from the pan.
• Allow potatoes to cool enough to handle.
• Store the potatoes in a bowl in refrigerator until ready to use.
• Storing the potatoes in a plastic bag tends to make them "sweat" and softens them, which could cause them to go bad sooner(that has been my experience in the past.).
• If you do store them in a plastic bag, use them within a day or two to ensure freshness.
• Use the potatoes for hashbrowns or fried potatoes.
