Notes

No Soggy Hash Browns. Make sure to squeeze as much water as possible out of the potatoes using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. You can also place a kitchen towel in the bottom of a large strainer, add the potatoes, top with another towel, and then push down firmly to remove excess water.

Flipping Your Hash Browns. Use a spatula to gently loosen the edges before flipping your hash browns. This way they will flip in one piece and stay together.
