Restaurant-Style Hash Browns Recipe
Restaurant-Style Hash Browns Made at Home
A Mouth-Watering Appetizer to Relish
In my opinion, hash browns are guilt-free snacks. I make this statement because I made it at home yesterday. These potato snacks absorbed very little oil, and they were very crispy outside and soft inside.
The Potato is good for health. It is a very popular vegetable throughout the world, mainly due to its awesome taste and health benefits. A Potato has low calories, and no fat, sodium, or cholesterol. It is a good source of vitamin C, potassium, vitamin B 6, fiber, and antioxidants.
Hash browns are comfort food, especially for young adults and kids. It doesn't need any serious accompaniment to pair with. Tomato ketchup on the side makes a good combo.
Making hash browns was thrilling as there were only a few simple steps involved in the preparation. It took me about 30-40 minutes to serve hash browns for three people.

- Add spices as per your choice. I added pasta spice mix, dried oregano, and black chili powder. Adding some paprika will also be good. Add salt.
- Gently knead to get a smooth dough. Place it between two plastic sheets. Gently press it. Roll with a rolling pin to make it thin and flat.
