Notes/Tips

Peel the potatoes and grate them using the box grater with large holes.

Make sure you spread the potatoes evenly and 1/4 to1/2 inch thick for uniform cooking.

Also gently flip the hash browns when they ae golden brown in the bottom. Its always best to use a metal spatula to flip over.
