Homemade Frozen Hash Brown Potato Recipe
You can make your own large batch of hash browns to freeze for later use in your hash brown potato recipes. Here are the basic steps to making a batch of hash browns for freezing:- Wash the potatoes and boil them until almost tender. (Cook them just a bit less than you would if you were going to prepare your hash browns rather than freeze them.)
- While potatoes are still warm you can easily slip off the skins. If you prefer, you can peel the potaotes before boiling.
- Shred the potatoes with the shredding tool of your food processor or with a potato shredder.
- Form the shredded potatoes into hash brown patties.
- Freeze the patties on a cookie sheet.
- When frozen, place the patties into freezer bags. (You can wrap patties individually in foil before placing in freezer bags if you want to be able to take out just one or two patties at a time.)
