Hash Ups

I've always wanted to make hash browns from scratch without making a gooey sticky mess. Ruth suggested that moisture was the enemy. Here is the result and below is the instructions.

 

 Instructions

1. Grate potatoes with food processor.

2. Wrap potatoes on a paper towel and squeeze out water. Squeeze until water is dripping.

3. Microwave potatoes for 4 minutes.

4. Heat up ghee or olive oil (or both) in a skillet (hot.)

5. Stir potatoes in skillet. Press potatoes into pan and leave alone for a few minutes. 

6. Add salt and pepper.

7. Flip potatoes and press again.

8. After a few minutes repeat step 7.

9. Place potatoes in a well oiled pan. Spread out as thin as possible.

10. Broil potatoes until they look like the picture above.
