CRISPY HASHBROWNS

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter on a griddle over medium-high heat until the butter is melted. Add the shredded potatoes and pack them down tightly into a patty. Cover and cook just until the perimeters start to get golden, about 5 minutes. Use a spatula to press the top down. Season with salt and pepper and flip. Cook, uncovered, until the bottom is golden and crispy, another 3 to 5 minutes.

EMILY'S FAMOUS HASH BROWNS

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.

VERY EASY HASH BROWN

Steps:

• Peel the skin of potatoes if they are dirty, otherwise you can also leave them on.
• Fine julienne cut the potatoes ( I used the julienne cut on my hand slicer).
• Try to squeeze all the juice from the potatoes with a towel.
• Flavor with salt and pepper according to taste.
• Heat oil on a skillet pan (non-stick is a good choice). Be generous on the oil, it will make your hash brown very crispy.
• On medium-high heat, pour the potatoes on the pan and try to make it flat and round. Do not stir it.
• Turn it over when golden brown and it's done when both sides are golden and crispy.

PERFECT HOMEMADE HASH BROWNS

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.

HASH BROWNS

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.
