When frying, it is advisable to use healthier oils like canola, vegetable or olive oil.

How to Make Hash Browns the Right Way

Before you can make hash browns, you have to make sure potatoes are cooked first. You can prepare potatoes by either boiling, steaming or baking them.

Prepping

  • To boil, fill a pot with water and add potatoes. Boil for 20 minutes or until potatoes are soft and tender.
  • To bake, use a knife to punch several holes on potato surfaces. Wrap them in foil and bake at 350 F for about half an hour. If you don’t have foil, bake potatoes bare in the center of the oven until soft.
  • Russet potatoes come highly recommended for making hash browns. Use 4 Russet potatoes for 1 hash brown patty.

Step 1:

When potatoes are cooked, give them a few minutes to cool down. Gently peel them and shred them with a grater.

Step 2:

Take grated pieces of potato and place them in a dish towel. Twist the dishtowel to drain as much water and moisture from them as possible.

Step 3:

In a pan, heat and melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter and a pinch of garlic, salt and pepper.

Step 4:

Grab a handful of shredded potatoes and add them to the pan, flattening them with a spatula until they are half an inch in thickness.

Step 5:

Fry each side until golden brown, which can be 3-5 minutes. Serve and enjoy.

Knowing how to make hash browns can be very convenient and useful. Hash browns are delicious and can be added to all meals. Eat in moderation as potatoes can be high in carbohydrates. Choose healthier oils with healthy fats and season to your taste.
