hash browns

Who can tell me how to make them without turning them all gummy and nasty? I have never been able to master this.

I have the same issue.

I liked the angry emoticon next to your title.

do you shred the potatoes yourself? If so, you have to wring them out really well before frying them up. There's a lot of extra water in them.

I'm here to learn

Are you supposed to soak the grated potatoes in cold water like when you make oven fries?

It's been a long time since I attempted them, but I think I remember that letting them sit and cook in the pan til they're browned on the bottom (then turning them) is better than stirring them.

I only clicked on Quick Hash Browns... I have to say, I've never thought to boil the shredded potatoes before frying. I must do this soon!

I use the frozen shredded potatoes, but can never get them to brown w/o leaving a layer of potatoes stuck to the bottom of my pan.
