>>8579168
This is how

[Anonymous No.8579183]

>>8579168
git yer taters
wash/peel your taters
use a cheese grater on your taters
put yer taters in a salted cold water bath
let them sit for a while
come back and squeeze all the water out of yer taters
pat them dry with a paper towel too, the need to be bone mother fucking dry
season your taters, you can add an egg if you want to help bind them together but I find it unnecessary, I like to add onions and peppers
form your taters to your liking
if you're baking, put yer taters in the oven at 400 F for about 10 minutes each side
if frying use med-high heat and cook them for about 6-7 minutes each side
crack a little bit of fresh sea salt on them before serving
serve 'em warm

Grate potato

Press between paper towels or put in a sieve and press to squeeze out excess water, because potatoes are fucking full of water and watery hash browns are ass

Season grated potato with salt, pepper and a little garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne if you want I don't care

Press flat

Fry in pan on medium heat, use whatever oil you got

thx will try it in like 10h.
maybe i post a pic of my potato massacre.

[Anonymous No.8579215]

>>8579194
i don't season mine, no, but you can add salt or whatever spices you like. you can even add veggies. my dad used to make them with peppers, but the buttery flavor is enough for me. i usually have them with an egg and dip them in the yolk.

uh, and as for how much butter/oil, i don't really measure it out, but i tend to use about a pat of butter. too much butter makes it really greasy, the same goes for oil. you want enough to coat the bottom of the pan, but not so much that the potatoes are swimming in it, ya feel me?

>>8579211
Follow either of those instructions or a combination of and you'll be good, son

Post when you're done, sounds like you don't cook too often, I'm keen to see the results of someone trying something new

Thanks for this thread. My mom just gave me two sacks of potatoes, and I've been trying to figure out what to do with them. I can eat so many baked potatoes per day.

Now at least I can grate up the offshape ones.

[Anonymous No.8579232]

>>8579211
One more thing, make sure your hashbrowns are relatively flat. This will ensure that they get crispy.

[Anonymous No.8579246]

>>8579215
okay,not a potato pool party!
which oil would you recommend from wich i have:
olive,peanut,sesame,linseed or butter

[Anonymous No.8579270]

>>8579246
i'd use the sesame oil or butter! peanut oil might be interesting, though. i've never tried it, but it would probably taste good!

[Anonymous No.8579279]

>>8579246
Peanut or sesame, but then I'm a fag who would cook literally everything in sesame oil if I could. Or butter, butter is always good to fry with.

This, the microwave is a very important step
And don't season until you're about to fry or there'll turn gluey.

Don't wash them next time just squeeze. Use butter instead of oil.

Just do it as a test, you have your benchmark now, you can decide if they're better or worse

[Anonymous No.8582055]

can i do hash browns with agata potatoes? these are the ones i find in the supermarket in my country

[Anonymous No.8582061]

>>8582055
>one type of potato available

Where do you live

[Anonymous No.8582073]

>>8582055
You can do hash browns with any potato

Except sweet potatoes because they're not starchy enough to stick together, and also not real potatoes

[Anonymous No.8582293]

>>8582061
there are other types of course, but those are the most common and the cheapest

You grate them yourself noob

[Anonymous No.8583149]

>>8583117
You can find potatoes pre-shredded in a bag at some grocery stores, but they're not worth it when you can just buy a whole bag of potatoes and a cheese grater

>not even mentioning a specific potato to get crispy no rubbery results.

Brown doesn't mean crispy in all potatoes.

Some you may have to wring of their excess water.
