Waffle House Hash Browns
4 cups peeled and shredded potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
Water
1 cup ice
Vegetable oil for frying
Place prepared potatoes in a 2-quart bowl, and add salt. Add ice and
pour enough water to cover potatoes. Stir to mix salt and ice in the
potatoes. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Place shredded potatoes in a colander, rinse with cool tap water and
drain completely. At this point you can place potatoes back in the
refrigerator covered until ready to fry. The uncooked potatoes will
keep up to 5 hours.
Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add enough
vegetable oil to lightly cover bottom. When skillet is hot and oil
has been heated, place two cups of drained shredded potatoes in
skillet. Fry until crisp, shaping with a spatula. Fry about 12 to 15
minutes, without turning. Time depends on the temperature and size
of the shredded hash browns. When potatoes are golden, flip over
carefully and fry tops of potatoes for 2 - 3 minutes. Do not cover
hash browns while frying or stir through them.
