Homemade hash browns

I learned how to make homemade hash browns from a good friend of mine. It's easy to make and so much healthier and better tasting than frozen bagged hash browns.

For two people:
-4 to 5 potatoes

For large group:
-More than 10 potatoes (small to medium)

  • Potatoes
  • Olive Oil
  • Onion Powder
  • Garlic Powder
  • Seasoning Salt
  • Chili Powder (I added this one, my friend didn't use it)
Clean potatoes and peel, set aside. Use a cheese grater and grate potatoes into a colander. After all potatoes are grated wash under cold water for about a minute or so, this strips the potatoes of all the starch and keeps the potatoes from turning pink or brown.

Let potatoes drain, pour into a large bowl. Pour a little bit of olive oil over potatoes to coat them. The rest is by taste. Put the garlic powder, onion powder and seasoning salt on first. Add just a little chili powder. Mix around with hands in the bowl. You should be able to taste each ingredient.

Add salt and pepper if desired.

On sprayed cookie sheet (I just coat it with olive oil), pour potatoes evenly. Add more chili powder and seasoning salt on top to make the potatoes crispy. Cook at 350 for 20 minutes. May need more cooking time depending on how many potatoes you used. If you taste it after cooking and it needs more of something, add and cook for another 5-10 minutes.

Broil on hi for the last 5 minutes to make potatoes crispy! ENJOY!!!

Goes great with german pancakes, eggs, bacon, pancakes.... (German pancake recipe to come soon!)
