I got the idea from Canada, Grate potatoes,
then put in a hot pan, you can add mushroom, veggie of just have plain

put on low heat after a few min, then put lid on keep turning them untill golden brown, or to your taste

I tried the waffle iron idea, and they turned out great! Only problem was, it took a pretty long time to make enough for my family (three hungry teenagers/young adults). I wish I had a waffle maker the size of a cookie sheet.

Cooking Hash Browns

I use fat free frozen Hash Browns or Potato O'Brien. The George Forman Grill is the key. First pop a serving of potatoes in the microwave for 3 minutes to thaw and warm. Then put them in the George Forman preheated grill for 5 minutes. They will come out browned and crispy. No Problem!

Thanks for the George Foreman idea!

Tried the George Foreman hash browns last night and they worked great! You can also shred up your own potatoes...that's how I did it. A few red ones shredded and squeezed of their juice.

Hey, I stumbled across this topic a few minutes ago and I printed out all the replies. We have a pretty good non stick pan, but I just haven't been able to get the hang of cooking hash browns without oil. I'm going to try some of your suggestions.
And that George Foreman grill sounds like a hoot!!! Thanks a bunch!!!!

Just made shredded potato waffles using fresh taters and they are lovely! I do love crispy things and these fit the bill. Looking forward to tinkering with combinations of spices (and perhaps some onions and veggies).

I just use a regular non stick skillet, but always add 2 t. of low sodium soy sauce...WOW, that really adds a nice flavor, and certainly browns them up nicely!! Hash browns are a fav with meeee!

OMG, this post is almost 5 years old!! I just made a batch. They burnt slightly but the flavor was amazing!! Almost 5 years of my life without having tried these...WASTED!!!! :crybaby:

The next batch at a lower temp is cooking. I am trying to distract myself rather than hovering over the pan. How did I cook them you ask? A little salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder.

Vegging out,
brad

I would like to cook hashbrowns in a cast-iron skillet. We tried it tonight, but it stuck and burned. Any ideas? We don't like using Teflon.

If you read through this thread you'll see a non-stick pan is a *must*, whether it's Teflon, a "green" pan, or any other non-stick coating. Even when Dr. McDougall demonstrated the way he cooks them he says a non-stick pan is a necessity.

Some people mentioned elsewhere that they make their hash browns in the oven, but when I tried it I just got hard chunks of potato using the Southern-style (diced) hash browns.

I've been experimenting today with hash browns in a regular non-stick pan (don't have a waffle maker). Seems to work best in a pre-heated pan on medium heat, with no added liquid - cover and don't touch for 5-7 mins. I made a mess with one batch by adding some water. They stuck.
