DIY Waffle House Hash Browns
Ingredients
- 4 cups Potatoes peeled + shredded
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 cups Ice Water
- Vegetable Oil for frying
- Onion diced
- Sliced Cheese
- Salt + Pepper to Taste
Instructions
- Peel and shred your potatoes. Use a hand grater or rotary grater.
- Place the shredded potatoes in a bowl and stir in a teaspoon of salt. Add in ice and pour in just enough water so that the potatoes are entirely covered.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for two hours.
- Place the soaked potatoes in a colander and rinse with cold water. Drain completely.
- Heat a large, cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to lightly coat the pan.
- Once the oil is hot, spread the shredded potatoes evenly onto the skillet. Gently press the potatoes – not too hard.
- Fry your hash browns for about 12 – 15 minutes (or until crisp on the bottom).
- Once browned, flip the hash brown and fry the other side for 3-5 minutes. Do not cover the hash browns while cooking.
- If you like your hash browns smothered or covered, add sliced cheese on top of finished hash brown or add diced onions into shredded potato before frying.
- Enjoy!
