Waffle House Hash BrownsEase of Cooking: Medium Difficulty
Serving Size: 2
Notes:
These are tasty hash browns with a wonderful crisp texture.
Ingredients:
4 C. Shredded Potatoes (peeled)
1 tsp. Salt
Water
1 C. Ice
Vegetable oil for Frying
Preparation:
Peel and shred potatoes. Place potatoes in 2-quart bowl add salt. Pour ice and add water to cover potatoes, and stir to mix salt and ice in the potatoes. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours. When two hours is up place shredded potatoes in a colander and rinse with cool tap water and drain completely. You can place back in the refrigerator covered until ready to fry. The uncooked potatoes will keep up to 5 hours.
To prepare on medium setting heat a large skillet (we prefer cast iron) add enough vegetable oil to lightly cover bottom. When skillet is hot and oil has been able to heat as well place two cups of drained shredded potatoes in skillet. Fry until crisp. These hash brown can be shaped with a frying spatula. Fry about 12 - 15 minutes, with out turning, this depends on the temperature and size of the shredded hash browns. When potatoes are golden, hash browns maybe flipped over carefully and top of potatoes may fried for 2 - 3 minutes. Do not cover hash browns while frying or stir through them.
