I use a teflon pan. Hashbrowns are the only thing in the world I use a teflon pan for. a Couple other tips I've learned since I made the video. Blanche your fresh potatoes. This means shred them, rinse the starch off in cold water. Put them in boiling water for two minutes and imediately rinse them in cold water. Its a lot of prep but it will make them come out perfect. Thats what makes frozen hash browns work. They are already blanched.

Food Processor for only ONE potato? Wow that's kind of lame. It takes hardly any time at all to grate a potato with a simple grater.

@punkrockgoth1988 I use the food processor all the time. Where I live its warm and humid and potatos can start to oxidize and turn brown in a matter of 30 seconds and handling them doesn't help so I grate them and dunk them in water, besides I can clean the food processor nearly as quickly as the hand grater so I figure why skin my knuckles.

Margarine? You might as well sprinkle some arsenic on them while you're at it. This is yet another reason why north americans are fatter and sicker than ever. You can keep the butter from burning if you add a little oil to it.

[GrogisGood]

Butter is a flavor, not a cooking oil and while it tastes good, milk fat had but one purpose; to make baby cows fat. Use a soy based margarine, or if you like a little less sat fat, soy based oil.

@GrogisGood And I suppose eggs are only for making baby chickens, and bacon is only for holding a pig's guts in. Your logic, while it may appeal to those who don't think for themselves, is glib, spurious, and ill-informed. Butter, a natural product, is much better for you than margarine, which is a tub of chemicals. Leave a tub of margarine outside in the summer sun for a week or two and see what happens. It separates, but even mold knows better than to eat it. I wish more people did.

@CorneliusSneedley, Call me Glib if you must, but it won't change the fact that no restaurant anywhere in the world uses butter to fry hash browns. The milkfat will burn at frying temperature. You can saute potatoes and have mushy buttery mashed potatoes and they may be what you like but thats not hash browns.

best video of making hash browns on youtube I've seen so far.

Just clicked on your channel - just one more video about biscuits. You should make some more videos. Lol - I'm friggin' hungry and need to learn to cook...fast.

My wife moved out and I have watched about 6 videos and wasted a bunch of potatoes.... Do you have to have a Teflon coated pan.....? Something is not working. I've got a bunch of non-coated skillets, sauce pans, etc. I think I was cooking them to slow, too - at least in this video you talk about temperature. None of the other ones do - and I'm 60 years-old and never cooked this kinda stuff. Argh. Mine don't cook but on the edges they stick and burn.

That made me cry...

Those look really good!!

Very informative it helped me a lot! However i think you should have had 1 other person holding the camera. its hard to see what exactly your doing at some points.

SALT? PEPPER?

This is such a simple thing but if you don't know the right technique it can be a headache. Thanks for making it super easy and they look delicious :-)

@GrogisGood I never said anyone uses butter for frying hashbrowns. In fact, if you had actually bothered to read what I said, you would know I use and recommend bacon fat. Your problem would seem to be that you don't actually read or research things thoroughly before forming an opinion. Hence my comment about spurious logic and glibness.
