HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a saucepan of boiling water for 10 mins then drain and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Coarsely grate the potatoes into a bowl discarding any skin that comes off in your hand as you grate. Season well with salt and pepper and pour over half the butter. Mix well then divide the mix into 8 and shape into patties or squares. The hash browns can be prepared a day ahead and chilled until ready to cook or frozen for up to a month.
• To cook, heat the oil and the remaining butter in a frying pan until sizzling and gently fry the hash browns, in batches if needed, for 4-5 mins on each side until crisp and golden. Serve straight away or leave in a low oven to keep warm.

PERFECT HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Grate potatoes on the largest hole on a box grater into a medium bowl. Cover with cold water and drain; repeat once or twice, until water runs nearly clear. Taking small handfuls at a time, squeeze all the water from the potatoes and place in a dry medium bowl. Grate onion on the largest hole on a box grater and toss with potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Taking small handfuls at a time, squeeze all water from the potato-onion mixture. Heat 2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat or vegetable oil in skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl together.
• Add potatoes and onions and spread into a thin, even layer. Cook, without moving, until the potatoes are nearly cooked through and browned on one side, about 5 to 8 minutes. Using a spatula, flip sections of the potatoes to crisp on the other side. Add 1 tablespoon reserved bacon fat or vegetable oil and remaining 1 tablespoon butter and cook, without moving, until potatoes are browned on the other side, about another 5 minutes. Flip once or twice more (you don't have to be so careful here; just kind of stir them around) and continue to cook until most of the bits of potato are golden brown and crisped, about another 4 minutes.
• Transfer potatoes to a plate. Serve with hot sauce (or ketchup, if you wish).

Steps:

• Peel potatoes. Coarsely shred potatoes using a handheld shredder or a food processor with a coarse shredding blade.
• Place shredded potatoes in a large bowl; add enough cool water to cover potatoes. Stir well. Drain in a colander set in a sink. Repeat rinsing and draining two or three times until water runs clear. Drain again, pressing out as much water as you can with a rubber spatula. Line a salad spinner with paper towels; add potatoes and spin.* Repeat, if necessary, until potatoes are dry. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Sprinkle potatoes with salt and pepper, tossing to combine.
• In a 10-inch nonstick skillet** heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and the butter over medium-high heat until butter foams. Add potatoes to the skillet, spreading into an even layer. Gently press with the back of a spatula to form a cake. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, without stirring, about 12 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crisp.
• Invert a baking sheet or plate over the top of the skillet. Carefully invert the skillet with the baking sheet or plate to transfer the potatoes to the baking sheet or plate. If needed, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Using the baking sheet or plate, slide the potatoes back into the skillet, uncooked side down. Cook, without stirring, about 8 minutes more or until the bottom is golden brown. If desired, sprinkle with paprika before serving.

HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and place them in a large saucepan. Add enough water to to cover, along with ½ tsp salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are just slightly tender, about 6-7 minutes. Drain off the water and let the potatoes rest until cool enough to handle.
• Shred the potatoes using the shredder attachment of a food processor or the large holes of a box grater. Place shredded potatoes in a dish towel or colander and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. Season potatoes with remaining salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Add olive oil to a heavy-bottomed 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is hot and the oil is shimmering, add the potatoes, spreading them out so they form an even layer filling the pan. Cook until the bottom of the potatoes are crisp and deep golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Place a plate over the skillet and carefully invert it so that the potato cake rests on the plate, crispy side up. Return the skillet to the stove and slide the potato cake back in with the crispy side facing up. Continue cooking until the bottom potatoes are crispy and golden, about 8-10 minutes more.
• To serve, transfer the hash browns to a platter and slice into wedges. RELATED: 10 Quick and Easy Breakfast Dishes

THE BEST HASH BROWN POTATOES

Steps:

• Add the grated russet potatoes to a large bowl.
• Soak the grated potato shreds in cold ice water for 5 minutes.
• Drain the potato shreds in a colander. Using your hands, squeeze as much water out of the potatoes as possible.
• Next, use a dish towel to press out any extra moisture that might remain.
• Place the grated potatoes back into the dry bowl.
• Add flour, egg white, grated shallots and salt and pepper. Mix using your hands to make sure everything is well combined.
• Next, pour 1 cup of vegetable oil into a sauté pan and heat over medium/high. **You'll want to make sure the oil is hot before you add the potatoes. Otherwise, the potatoes will soak up the oil and get soggy not crispy**A good way to test if the oil is hot or not, is to toss a small shred of potato in the oil. If it begins to bubble right away, the oil is ready. If it sinks to the bottom of the pan, the oil is not hot enough yet.
• Form the potatoes into patties using a measuring cup. This will give you a nice round shape. Add the patties to the oil two at a time. If you overcrowd the pan, the oil temp will drop, and the hash browns will not get crispy.
• Repeat until all hash browns are fried. Place fried hash browns on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Finish with a pinch of salt. Serve and enjoy!
