Homemade Hash Browns image

I love homemade hash browned potatoes. Sometimes good hash browns are hard to come by in a restaurant so I came up with my own recipe. I use red or Yukon Gold potatoes for these. For best results, prepare the potatoes using my recipe #77231 recipe.before making these. Figure one medium potato per serving. This gives the potatoes a jump start and prevents them from absorbing a lot of the grease and sticking together. These are really good with gravy on them. Prep time does not include the time for preparing potatoes Cook time is approximate. If you are using a skillet that is NOT non-stick, such as aluminum, preheat it on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes with nothing in it. Not even oil. This prevents the potatoes from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Use caution when adding the bacon to the pan. Originally posted March 10 2003 Edited on June 10, 2011
