Steps:

  • 1. Let the potatoes cool and then using a food processor or grater,shred the potatoes.
  • 2. Plunge the grated potatoes immediately in water while working. Otherwise, they'll start to turn gray/green
  • 3. Carefully Rinse the grated potatoes well to help remove some of the starch. A colander will work fine for this step.
  • 4. Now, Drain the grated potates thoroughly (we use a salad spinner!) or you can use paper towels or a clean (fuzz free) dish towel to gently press ALL the remaining water out of the potatoes.
  • 5. Gently spread the grated potatoes on a cookie sheet. If you like "Formed Hash Browns" mound them up in 3/4 inch thick piles and crease them with a spatula to make it easier to break them apart for cooking. If you'd like you can sprinkle them liberally with seasonings of your choice, salt and pepper, chipotle pepper, a dash of cayenne, etc.
  • 6. Freeze, once frozen, remove from tray, place in vacuum seal or ziplock bags and use within 2 months for best flavor.
  • 7. You may want to write simple directions for cooking on the bag: SIMPLE DIRECTIONS FOR COOKING: 1)Thaw hashbrowns or not, depending on your preference. 2)Heat a Tablespoon of butter or olive oil in a large skillet, Add onions, spices, or whatever optional ingredients you want. 2) Add Hash Browns 3) Cook on one side until golden brown &crisp, about 6-10 minutes depending upon thickness, then flip &brown the other side.

Tips:

This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the hashbrowns from sticking together. - Season the hashbrowns with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices before cooking. - Cook the hashbrowns over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. - Serve the hashbrowns immediately with your favorite toppings, such as eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese, or salsa.
