4 cups shredded potatoes, peeled
1 teaspoon salt
water
1 cup ice
vegetable oil, for frying

Place potatoes in a 2-quart bowl and add salt. Pour ice and add water to cover potatoes, and stir to mix salt and ice in the potatoes. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Then, place shredded potatoes in a colander and rinse with cool tap water; drain completely.

To prepare, heat a large skillet (cast iron preferred) on medium heat; add enough vegetable oil to lightly cover bottom.

When skillet is hot place drained shredded potatoes in skillet. Fry until crisp, about 12-15 minutes without turning.

Once golden, flip carefully and fry 2-3 additional minutes. Do not cover or stir hash browns while frying.

Super simple way to make hash browns. You definitely need to soak them in the ice water to rinse out the starches. I love to top my hash browns with Sriracha sauce to give it a spicy zip.

Good way to make them at home although Waffle House hash browns are actually made from re-hydrated shredded hash browns that come in gallon containers. Of course, even at home you can make them scattered, smothered, covered, diced, chunked…topped. (onions, cheese, tomatoes, ham, chili) :lol:
