Freezing Hash Browns

October 12, 2011

Diced potato home fries.I dehydrate my hash browns. Grate, put in cold water with some lemon juice added so they don't turn brown. Peel or scrub skins very well.

Remove from water and dry on tea towels. Put over boiling water to steam until opaque. Pace in dehydrator until crisp and dry. You can get about 20 lbs. of potatoes in a gallon jar, give or take.

To use, rehydrate in water first. Then squeeze out the water and pan fry as usual.

Enjoy!

I tried just one time years ago to simply peel raw, shred and freeze and they were awful when I went to fry them ;-) What has worked best for me since them is to peel, boil until almost tender, room temp cool, shred and then freeze :-)

I shred my potatoes and put them in salted cold water, then I blanch them for about a minute in boiling water, drain and freeze.

Add just enough oil to coat the potatoes lightly by tossing around in the bag. Then spread out a single layer on a cookie sheet and freeze after frozen put them in a bag and they're ready to be prepared as you would fresh.

Yes, you can, but first you have to blanch them (cook in boiling water for 2 or 3 minutes, drain). This will keep them from turning brown.
