Ingredients

Measurements:

13¼ oz peeled Yukon gold potatoes
about 2 large potatoes
¼ tsp kosher salt
⅓ cup (2¾ fl oz) vegetable oil

Instructions

1Assemble the processor with the grey spindle and yellow reversible shredder, with the coarse side up in the bowl and shred the potatoes.
2Rinse the potatoes in cold water. Transfer to a dish towel and wring until the potatoes are dry. Evenly spread the potatoes on a plate that has been lined with double layer paper towels.
3Place the potatoes in a microwave oven and cook on High for 2 minutes, or until softened slightly.
4Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, add the salt and stir to combine.
5Heat the oil in a large skillet or frying pan over high heat. Spread the potatoes in an even layer in the skillet and cook, adjusting the temperature so it doesn’t burn for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Carefully turn and cook the other side for 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towel.
6Crisp, golden and ready for a brunch date, this hash brown is bigger than just breakfast though. Try it Korean-style with kimchi and fried eggs, Tex Mex-style with chili and sour cream or Caprese-style layered with tomatoes and fresh basil.
