How to Make Hash Browns

Once a main course served in the finest 19th century New York hotels, chips are a ubiquitous item on many American diner, restaurant, and fast food breakfast menus. The ideal brown hash cake resembles a crispy browned potato cake with a smooth interior, but homemade versions will often not stick together or not brown properly. Two techniques can help prevent these problems: Get the most water from the potatoes before cooking, and use a small amount of heated fat to speed up browning.

Instructions 
1. Peel the potatoes. Grate each with large holes in a box grater or a food processor with the shredder attachment in place.

2. Stack the grated potatoes in the middle of a large kitchen towel. Wrap the towel tightly around the potatoes and squeeze repeatedly until no more liquid is released.



3. Heat a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Put the butter in the pan and let it melt and begin to brown. Plan on using half a tablespoon butter for every 1 pound of potatoes you are cooking.

4. Tilt the pan to ensure that the entire surface is lightly coated in butter. Arrange the grated potatoes in an even layer in the frying pan. Press down the potatoes firmly with a spatula or pancake turner.



5. Lower the heat to medium. Cook until the side of the fries that touch the frying pan is dark brown and fresh, allowing about 8 minutes for 1 pound of potatoes.

6. Slide the chips into a plate. Place a second plate over the chips and invert the plates so that the tan side is now facing upwards.

7. Melt more butter in the skillet - 1/2 tbsp for a hash-brown cake made from 1 pound of potatoes - and slide the chips into, on the side to brown. Cook until the second side is golden and crisp, about 5 minutes.

8. Remove the fries from the frying pan. Cut into slices and serve hot.

Tips: 

  • Two medium Russet potatoes are equal to £ 1 and will serve about four people.
  • Use olive oil or canola oil for lower saturated fat chips.
  • For added flavor, mix the grated potatoes with spices such as grated onions, chopped fresh herbs or spices after the water has been squeezed out.
  • While you can experiment with different potatoes for your chips - Yukon Gold or Sweet Potatoes, for example - America's Test Kitchen editors say the starchiness of Russet Potatoes makes it the best choice for chips that won't fall apart.
  • To prepare individual size serving chips, shape the grated potatoes to the desired number of cakes before cooking.
  • Wait to grate the potatoes just before you plan to cook them. Once the potatoes have been peeled and cut, exposure to air begins to turn them dark brown. They still taste the same, but look different than chips made from freshly grated potatoes.
