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.
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.
