Hash Browns

Pictured: hash browns with a fried egg and toast.

Original recipe from Heavenly Homemakers.

Ingredients:

• cooled baked potatoes, as many as desired
• 1-2 T butter or olive oil
• opt: chopped onions, 2-4 T per serving

Directions:

1. Peel and shred baked potatoes.  
2. To freeze: lay on a cookie sheet in a thin layer.  Place in freezer until frozen.  Transfer to an airtight container and use for hash browns or hash brown casserole.  
3. To prepare: heat skillet or griddle to medium (use two skillets in order to spread those taters out thin and crisp).  Add oil and onions, saute 1 min.  Mix in potatoes (we use 1 c per person) and spread to fry.  After 4-5 min (more if they were frozen), flip and fry 1 min more.  
4. Forget the ketchup--hash browns are yummy with basil pesto, dried tomato pesto, or basil dressing on them!
