The CRUNCHIEST HASH BROWNS Recipe better than take-out

Hash Browns is native to Americans. It’s a breakfast dish that’s made of potatoes, which has been finely shredded or grated; boiled, shaped and fried on both sides till golden brown.

My Hash Browns recipe is not only easy and quick, it’s also very crunchy. You can make it in advance and fry just when you’re about having breakfast. Originally, hash browns were known as “hashed brown potatoes”; or “hashed browned potatoes”.

For my Nigerian touch, I’m using Sweet potatoes which is peculiar to us. You can use Irish Potatoes too but it won’t be as crunchy like when using sweet potatoes. If you’re outside the country, you can use any type of potatoes available to you.
