MYO Frozen Hash Browns

Need a quick breakfast side dish? Make your own delicious frozen hash browns in just a few minutes using leftover potatoes from dinner!
You'll Need:
Leftover Baked Russett Potatoes
or
Leftover Boiled Russet Potatoes



Let the potatoes cool and then using a food processor or grater, Shred the potatoes.

Plunge the grated potatoes immediately in water while working. Otherwise, they'll start to turn gray/green.

Carefully Rinse the grated potatoes well to help remove some of the starch. A colander will work fine for this step.

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.

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.

Freeze, once frozen, remove from tray, place in vacuum seal or ziplock bags and use within 2 months for best flavor.

Simple directions for cooking:
1)Thaw hashbrowns or not, depending on your preference.

2) Add Hash Browns
3) Cook on one side until golden brown &crisp, about 6-10 minutes depending
