Steps:

• The potato can be grated by hand like cheese or shredded in an appropriate blender. The onion can be roughly chopped by hand or in a blender but try to avoid large chunks as much as possible as these will affect the flavour and the way in which the hash browns hold together.
• Place the shredded potato in a sieve or fine colander and press down with kitchen paper to remove as much moisture as possible.
• Ensure the onion is well broken up and not layered, then add all of it, plus all of the dried shredded potato to a medium sized bowl and combine well.
• Lightly whisk the egg then add to the potato and onion mixture.
• Add the salt and pepper - amounts are an estimate and depend on personal taste, but seasoning is essential. Other flavourings such as cheese, chilli, spices or herbs can be added here.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan. Note: the oil MUST be hot so that the hash brown begins to cook as soon as it hits the pan. Otherwise it will absorb the oil and the flavour and crispness will be affected.
• Take about a 1/4 cup of mixture and drop carefully into the pan, flattening immediately with the back of a fish slice (commonly mistaken for a spatula, so if you don't think you have a fish slice use what you think is your spatula). If you're not sure what a 1/4 cup is, divide the mixture into 4 and you're about right.
• Cook each side for 2-3 minutes. Slide the fish slice under slowly when intending to flip it over just to check it has been cooked long enough on that side. If it hasn't, it won't hold enough to allow itself to be flipped.
• Hash browns keep well in a warm (but off) oven so if you're planning them as part of a fry-up breakfast I'd recommend doing them first and keeping them in a warm oven while you cook everything else.

Steps:

• Shred potatoes into a large bowl filled with cold water. Stir until water is cloudy, drain, and cover potatoes again with fresh cold water. Stir again to dissolve excess starch. Drain potatoes well, pat dry with paper towels, and squeeze out any excess moisture.
• Heat clarified butter in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Sprinkle shredded potatoes into the hot butter and season with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika.
• Cook potatoes until a brown crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Continue to cook and stir until potatoes are browned all over, about 5 more minutes.

Steps:

• Grate the potatoes, with their skin into a large bowl. Peel and grate the parsnip; add to the potatoes. Toss the vegetables with the scallions, parsley and season with the salt and pepper, to taste.
• Heat a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush the skillet with about half the oil. Add the potato mixture and form into an even cake by pressing lightly with a spatula. Cook, shaking the pan periodically to prevent sticking, until the hash browns are crisp and brown, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat; place a flat plate over the top of the skillet. Carefully flip the pan so the potato cake goes onto the plate. Brush the skillet with the remaining olive oil and then side the hash browns back into the skillet. Cook until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes more. Slide out of the skillet onto a heated serving plate. Cut into wedges to serve.

Steps:

• Cook whole potatoes in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 10 minutes; drain and let cool.
• When potatoes are cool enough to handle, grate them with a coarse grater.
• In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil and butter together and cook hash browns over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes on each side, or until crisp and well-browned.
• Resist the temptation to stir them around; just lift up an edge periodically to check on browning.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cover potatoes with water. Bring water to a boil and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Let cool in refrigerator overnight.
• The next morning, heat butter in a large skillet or frying pan. Shred potatoes and add to pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown on bottom, flip and brown on other side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Combine olive oil, paprika, chili powder, salt, red peppers, and black pepper in a large bowl; stir well.
• Add diced potatoes and stir well to coat.
• Place potatoes in a single layer on a cookie sheet coated with cooking spray.
• Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes or until browned.

Steps:

• Rinse shredded potatoes until water is clear, then drain and squeeze dry. Place shreds in a bowl, and mix in the onion, flour and egg until evenly distributed.
• Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is sizzling hot, place potatoes into the pan in a 1/2 inch thick layer. Cover the whole bottom of the pan, or make separate piles like pancakes. Cook until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip over and brown on the other side. It should take at least 5 minutes per side. If you are cooking them in one big piece, it can be cut into quarters for easier flipping.
• Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Pour in skillet enough oil to liberally cover bottom of pan. Some times I add 1 tbs butter to help crisp them. Heat on medium high heat until very hot.
• Mix together onion and potatos. CAREFULLY place in pan (grease will spatter). Spread to edges with spatula patting and forming into circle. Fry until bottom is golden brown then turn over. Fry other side until golden brown. Remove onto plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Turn onto clean plate.
• Salt and pepper Served with desired topping Topping Suggestions: (choose one) sour cream and chopped green onions, shredded cheddar cheese and bacon bits, Ketchup mustard.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a one cup measure in microwave. Heat non stick skillet over medium high heat. Shred potatoes on hand held grater. Squeeze out liquid from potatoes. Add some butter to skillet and add shredded potatoes and press down with spatula. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle potatoes with more butter. Cook until golden brown and then flip. Finish cooking in hot oven for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• In a heavy medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and saute until softened and caramelized. Remove onions from skillet. Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet and heat. Add diced potatoes in an even layer in the skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook until the potatoes begin to brown on the bottom, 6 to 7 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to prevent sticking. Add onions back to skillet, press into a pancake. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Peel potatoes if desired. Cut in half and place in large pot. Cover with cold water.
• Bring water to a boil and cook until potatoes are just tender (about 10 minutes). Drain.
• Place potatoes in large bowl and cover with cold water. Place in fridge over night.
• Drain potatoes. Shred with hand grater or food processor.
• To cook right away: Heat frying pan over medium-high heat. Add butter or margarine. Place shredded potatoes in pan. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes or until bottom is browned. Flip potatoes and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper.
• To freeze: Spray freezer-safe container with cooking spray (I use a plastic ice cream tub). Place a layer waxed paper in the bottom and spray w/ cooking spray. Place a layer of potatoes in container (enough for 1 meal). Place another piece of waxed paper on top of potatoes and spray with cooking spray. Continue layering in this way until all potatoes are used. Freeze until ready to use. Cook as directed above (will take longer).

Steps:

• Grate the potatoes along with the onion, hand-squeeze out the moisture if desired.
• Add in the beaten egg and lots of salt; mix well.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot.
• Scoop in spoonfuls of the potato mixture, and flatten into patties about 1/2-inch thick (you can make these as large as you like).
• Brown the patties on both sides, adding more oil as needed.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in large cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onions; cook 5 min. or until mushrooms are tender, stirring frequently. Spoon mushroom mixture into bowl; cover to keep warm.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Heat 2 Tbsp. of the remaining oil in same skillet. Add hash browns; cook 5 to 7 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides, drizzling with remaining oil just before turning the hash browns over. Remove from heat.
• Spread chili, then salsa over hash browns; top with mushroom mixture, ham and VELVEETA.
• Bake 10 min. or until toppings are heated through and cheese is melted.
