I don't know why this would be but the trick to getting them crispy is to put a lid over them. I got this from a restaurant cook many years ago. |

He does rather like them )Hash browns are easy, just dice a few spuds and fry on low heat giving them a flip and a shake every so often (I use half butter, half olive oil), even good with red potatoes and no need to peel them but I poke out their big eyes. Can save time in the morning by cooking them the day before and keep the pan in the fridge, they reheat nicely. Sometimes I pour beaten eggs over... a one skillet treat. |

You've got a computer, look up different types of hash browns. Some are grated, some (also called home fries) are diced. At any rate all are potatoes browned/cooked on the stovetop.

Potatoes and I do not get along and I refuse to work with them. It's one of the drawbacks to being an Asian. Hee hee. My wife makes a mean potato salad but that's probably because her family originally came from Ireland sooo... you know... |

And as you can see, I am in a no win situation once again. They blast me if I call my family out by name or refer to which person it is and they say that I am bad mouthing them or throwing them under the bus or something of that ilk. Now I mention someone but don't say who it is and they wrongly assume. |

They could be crispier. > https://www.flickr.com/photos/sqwert...ream/lightbox/ I know that I could have gotten them crispy if I tried. But one of the eaters doesn't seem to care if they are crispy or not and that person is the one who wanted to eat first. The other eater was busy and could not eat for about another hour so I opted to leave them like that, realizing that they would get slightly more crisp upon reheating. Had things been the other way around, I would have taken some out then crisped up the rest. There, Doris. I just referred to my husband as an eater. And that he is. He eats. So do I. So do my cats. We all eat. We're eaters. I'll be you and your husband are too! |
