Number Of Ingredients 5

canola oil, for frying
2 cups Simply Potatoes® Shredded Hash Browns
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup minced jalapenos or 1/4 cup pickled jalapeno chili
2 teaspoons salt, divided

Steps:

  • Fill a heavy saucepan with canola oil to about 2 inches deep and place over medium high heat. Using a candy thermometer, heat oil until it reaches 325 degrees.
