How do you make great hash browns from raw potatoes ?

Answer 1

Style # 1.

Ingredients:
1 lb Russet baking potatoes, peeled and grated
3 Tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper

Equipment needed:
Large stick-free frying pan (at least a 9" diameter bottom)
Potato ricer


1 Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large stick-free frying pan on medium high heat.

2 While the pan is heating, use a potato ricer much like you would a garlic press, and press out as much moisture as you can from the grated potatoes. If you don't have a ricer, you can use paper towels to absorb some of the moisture from the grated potatoes.

3 When the oil heats up to the point of shimmering, but not smoking, add the grated potatoes. Spread the potatoes out along the bottom of the pan. They should not be too thick in any one place, no more than 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the poatoes. After a few minutes, lift up one edge of the potatoes and see how done they are. When they have fried to a golden brown they are ready to flip. Use a large spatula to flip the potatoes over all at once, or divide the large potato cake into halves or quarters and flip. Again, when golden brown, they are ready to serve.

Serves 4.


Style 2:

Hash Browns

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1 or 2 potatoes
Oil
Salt

Directions:

Grate potatoes and mix with salt to taste. Add oil to large skillet and fry till golden brown.

Serves: 1 to 2

Preparation time: 5

Answer 2

The best way is to grate them using a cheese grater. Use the largest holed grater.

Heat up some oil in a frying pan. Add a layer of the grated potatoes and salt. Let them fry without stirring until they're golden brown on the bottom, then flip the whole thing over. Once that side is browned, stir them up a little, drain on paper towels, then eat.

Answer 3

shred about a pound of potatoes, squeeze the juices out, add one chopped scallion or green onion, and season with salt.

Heat about a tablespoon or more of oil in a relatively flat skillet. Pat down the potatoe mixture. When the bottom is bornw, invert onto a plate so that browned side is on top. THen, slide back into the pan and brown the other side

Answer 4

Chop the potatoe into cubes. Cover it with a little bit of bread crust. Fry it on a pan for about 20 minutes.

Answer 5

Make sure they are dry when you start them.. use a hot skillet or griddle with just a bit of oil or butter, and only flip them once if you like them on the crispy side.

Answer 6

Ooh,, yummy yummy hashbrowns!!!!

chop the potatoes up, then fry em in a skillet or pan or fryer.

Fry them til they're crispy, not soggy.

good luck :)

Answer 7

I always rinse mine in a collander after grating to remove some of the starch. They come out crispier and don't get slimy in the middle.

Answer 8

you don't make them from raw, you boil them, dry 'em out, graid them and then you fry them
