Made some this morning; thought I would share my unorthodox but convienent method.

A bunch of potatoes grated on the stand up cheese grater. An onion grated too. Put all this in my salad spinner. Spin spin spin to get all the juice out. This worked fantastic. (If you don't get the potato juice out they will be soggy and mushy)

Mix in salt and jarlic.
Throw in a pan wth very hot veggie oil. Let sit, flip, let sit, eat.

Very similar to method I use. I soak the potatoes in cold water first to draw out the stsrch and then put them in the salad spinner. Makes them crispier.

I was thinking of adding some jar jalepenos and maybe some cheddar.
I wonder how that will work since cheese has a much earlier cooking point?
Add after?

What about baking on a wire rack?

I like the Louies style cubed hashbrowns. Steam the potatoes first then cut into cubes leaving the skin on. Brown them in a cast iron skillet (preferably with bacon grease) with lots of chopped onions.

Sprinkle some cheddar cheese and finsish in the broiler.

Always disappointed in a place when their hashbrowns are the big cubed kind

Me, too. Those are not hash browns, those are potatoes cut into cubes. Just serve a damned baked potato.

I guess that's where I have been going wrong. Tried homemade ones a few times and have always been disappointed.

Follow up question. How do y'all get the pile to stay together like you get at say waffle house? Mine always fall apart. Seems like a fine line between flipping too early and burning them.

I saw an episode of America's Test Kitchen wherein they made OVEN BAKED hashbrowns by cubing the potatoes and then soaking them with baking soda for a bit. Somehow it makes the potatoes crispy like oil.
