Doesn't necessarily have to be vegan/vegetarian, but I don't eat enough produce and my potatoes generally go bad when I don't eat them with nearly every meal.
I'm a decent cook but anything with pastry/baking elements is not preferred.
Thanks conroys.
Hash browns. Shred the potato and put them in a bowl of cold water to get some of the starch out. Then press the mass of potato between two clean kitchen towels to get all the excess moisture out. Heat your pan with an oil that has a high smoke point - I recommend Canola - and fry them puppies up. You can either put the whole amount in the pan or press them into fritters - whatever floats your boat.
The one key is not to turn them over too soon. It'll take some practice but it sounds like you've got plenty of potatoes to work with. If you like hot sauce, drizzling hot sauce on a crisped up pad of hash browns is just... :AyyyyyOC:
Do you have to cook the potato at all first or just shred it from raw?
Shred it raw. If you have baked or mashed potatoes a similar thing you can do is you can mix in an egg yolk and a splash of cream (milk works too, but I recommend cream) and press them into patties and fry them up. I like mixing in chives when I do that. The yolk acts as a binding agent, I am sure there is a vegan alternative that would work but I don't know what it is, I'm not a vegan.
I’m not vegan either. Ty I might try this this weekend
I wish you the best of luck! Don't be upset if it doesn't cook perfectly the first time. Oh, and if you need to, don't be afraid of adding more oil after you flip them. I should have mentioned that in the original post. I have to add extra oil almost every time I make hash browns because a lot of it gets absorbed, so it makes no sense to me to add a lot at the beginning. I'm just trying fry the outside, not bleed a bunch of oil into the center.
