Crispy hash browns can be more than a breakfast thing! Perhaps you have made hash browns before but have had a hard time getting them crispy. Chef John’s tutorial on how to make crispy hash browns is perfect for you. The secret is that you need to rinse the starch out of the potatoes and squeeze the moisture out. The oil also needs to be nice and hot to get them browned and crispy.
