Same day Hashbrowns, don’t wait
I love potatoes. I really do.
Potatoes, specifically hash brown potatoes are among my favorite. But, I’m not a planner, I am impulsive and I don’t usually have precooked potatoes on hand. So, my dilemma is to find a way to take a raw potato to a finish product in a limited amount of time.
I present super fast hash brown potatoes.
You just need to find a way to precook the potatoes so that they fully cook before burning. Most recipes suggest parboiling the potatoes. This method is fine, but it leaves you with hot potatoes that aren’t shredded, takes more time than the following method and leaves the potatoes wet. The simple solution is the microwave.
Directions:
- Shred potatoes on a box grater. (Two normal size potatoes are enough for several people.)
- Put the shredded potatoes in a colander and rinse thoroughly. You can simply rinse the potatoes in a bowl if you prefer.
- Extract as much water as you can by pressing on the shredded potatoes. (This is where the colander helps.)
- Cook the potatoes in the microwave on high for 1 minute.
- Toss or stir the potatoes to make sure that they aren’t clumping.
- Cook for an additional minute on high
- Place the potatoes in a thin layer in a preheated pan with a couple tablespoons of oil.
- Cook for approximately, 4 to 6 minutes on each side over medium high heat.
Enjoy.
