Re: Home Fries or Hash Browns
A large majority of hash browns are undercooked. (Sucks for you, but good for me 'cause then I have no desire to eat them.)
A breakfast restaurant that makes excellent crispy hash browns is a treasure to be coveted. (Anyone can make an egg. Hash browns are an art form. BTW, most Perkins hash browns suck.)
Some people use pre-cooked potatoes, (baked, chilled, then grated or shreds boiled for five minutes then drained completely), so all you're really doing is worrying about getting the crispy when frying.
We ate at a new steak restaurant last night with home made hash browns. I'm happy to report they were crispy and delicious. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Also the Oceannaire in Mpls. makes a good crispy hash brown with tabasco.
The only home fries I've ever found amazing are my Mom's home made fried potatoes, another art form that I'm pretty sure I'll never duplicate.
