Quick pic – believe me, I wanted to spend not a second more on these babies.
OK. I give. This was latest and FINAL attempt at hashbrowns. They are now permanently relegated to restaurant food (or Ore Ida) only. I don’t have time for this finicky dish.
I couldn’t help myself – I did a little research. Apparently, I am supposed to grate the potatoes straight into cold water. hmmm…I am sure I will be rushing to the kitchen to try this…right after i finish War and Peace.
I can’t seem to make them either. But my dad is kind of making the best hashbrowns. It’s all about using a lot of oil, more than you’d think. I mean, they aren’t swimming/floating in oil, but I think it’s a lot, like you kind of want the oil in the pan seeping up through the sizzling potatoes.
Still, when I try it, they are never as good as my dads. I’ll have to ask him about them again.
