How To Make Hash Browns the RIGHT Way

In this video I will show you how to make hash browns. My recipe makes a deep potato cake that is super crispy on the outside, and soft and moist on the inside. This hash brown goes particularly well with an English breakfast, it has the best qualities for mopping up all of the sauce from the baked beans and eggs. Although, they'd make an excellent addition to any breakfast plate.

These hash browns also freeze very well and can be re-warmed in the oven. Here's your chance to cook a big batch and have them to hand in the freezer whenever you need them.

I cannot give exact quantities for the amount of corn starch to use. Aim for a really light dusting, you only need enough to help bring the mixture together. Don't add too much egg to the potato mix, just enough to bind the ingredients together.

This is a great method for making hash browns, enjoy!

I made hash browns the other day for breakfast and now that I’ve seen this video I can’t wait to make them again. Thanks for the info.

Omg just found your channel and immediately mesmerised by your aesthetic vidio as well as your way to make something which is simple and easy to understand for a beginer like me

First attempt on your recipe! Not bad, not bad at all! Very good, congratulations! Thx!

I’ve always had an issue making hash browns, but this makes sense! It reminds me a little of a potato pancake that I grew up with. I will try this recipe this weekend and I bet I am the hero....

I'll be making these tonight. Finally found some decent English sausage here in Germany so making full English tonight. These look so good, probably the best I've seen in any video. So looking forward to it...

Very tempting and delicious recipe. I like the way you represent your recipe. It was easy to understand and really made me satisfied. Keep on making such recipe video.

Beautiful, I hope you keep going. That recipe reminded me of German Reibekuchen (literarilly: grated cake) but thicker....I definitly will give your version a try. Thanks.

I did this recipe it was really really good! Thank you

Of all the ones I have seen this is the best. Joyofcooking also has a great twist for a brunch version.

You gained a sub from me! I loved how you made it so easy. Thanks!

I love Ukrainian Derun, I do not press water (we have little water in potatoes), I do not wash! Not fry! I do not add eggs in flour and starch! Just grated potatoes, salt and fry - it is very cool! And then with sour cream!

I’ve never eaten hash browns so I’m giving these a go, they look lovely thanks for the video 👍

Great video!
I've never seen a flat grater like that!
I liked that you soaked the potato, rinsed it, then squeezed out most but not all the water--I've heard those are critical steps.
I never would have thought that cornstarch would be in this recipe, but I can see why it works.
You did an excellent job of switching between far-away and close-up shots. I especially liked the close-up shots of the hashbrown cake once it once done.
When you tapped it with your knife, there was no doubt that it was crispy.
Once again, great hash browns recipe. Like you said, perfect with an English breakfast--perhaps that's the next video? I can't wait to see more--subbed!

Oh yummy! Watching in bed and my mouth is watering!

I made hash browns this morning following a recipe I had. I wasn’t that impressed as the onion was not cooked sufficiently and they were very wet. There are so many different recipes for hash browns, but yours seems to make more sense (the British way) so will try your method next time. Thanks.

Thank you thank you for posting this recipe, I was looking for a good hash brown recipe and I came to your channel, I follow tour recipe at the moment they are in the refrigerator, I have a question, can I freeze them cook or uncooked, I run a small b&b and it is perfect if I can freeze them, will be ideal

[melodysfiresidefarm]

What?? And all this time I thought I knew how to make hash browns LOL It sounds so good but where's the ketchup? Thanks for sharing!!

[imanwaseem]

Can we keep the hash in the fridge overnight rather thn for just 30 mins?

[BarryAdams]

Looks wonderful!!! However, I’m struggling with - let’s rinse the starch out, and then add some starch. lol What am I missing?

Hello, I like your show very much. My sister and I were the only ones born in the States and my parents and grandparents in England.

I'm commenting for you to hope that you read this. You have a ground fault in your microphone. That heavy hum sound that you hear in your microphone.
Check your connections if you move the wire and find that it does go way more materially. Attempt to repair or just replace. Have a fantastic day. My name is Blake Dremin.
