What are "hash browns"?
Hash browns are a popular breakfast side dish made from shredded and pan-fried potatoes. Coarse shreds of raw potatoes are soaked in water to remove excess starch, then drained and pan-fried in oil or butter until browned and crispy. They are a classic compliment to eggs, meats and gravy based dishes.The crispy exterior and fluffy interior of hash browns provide a satisfying contrast of textures, while the starch absorbed during frying binds the potatoes together into a cohesive side dish.
