Restaurant Style Hash Browns

Hash browns, also known as hashed browns, or hashbrowns are an American Diner favorite. They are shredded, fried potatoes. My recipe makes light, fluffy, crispy hash browns. 

I learned how to make hash browns, working in diners. One diner boiled potatoes, skin on, just for hash browns and home fries. A different diner used leftover baked potatoes. At home, we rely on the microwave, to cook the potatoes.

I like that this recipe doesn’t involve shredding a raw potato, soaking in water, and squeezing the excess water. After that work you’re watching your potatoes turn brown. Still, they aren’t as fluffy as my recipe.
