Man Hash Browns

kosher salt

bacon fat

Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium low heat for 5 minutes.

While the pan is heating, grate the potato on the largest hole of a box grater. Squeeze the grated potatoes in a tea towel to remove excess moisture.

Add the fat to the pan and scatter evenly with the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and cook for 5 minutes without disturbing. Decrease the heat to low, flip the potatoes, and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Very tasty. Thank you! If you use a potato river to squeeze out the excess moisture I found that works best. Works well for frozen thawed out spinach too. Enjoy! 

Just made these and they tasted like In-N-Out well done fries! Since In-N-Out uses vegetable oil I'm sure they'd taste just as good with that, but I like the excuse of making making a batch of bacon with these.

Super easy, and clear instructions. Love how Alton explains his recipes in a simple way. I made mine with yukon gold potatoes and a little bit of coconut oil. My husband loved them.

I'm not really impressed, it's more just cut up potatoes than hashbrowns. Other recipes where you grate the potatoes in the smaller hole come out better.

My grandmother would soak the shredded potatoes in water until all of the starch was gone. When the water stays clear you are ready to then dry the shreds with a towel &amp; then cook. They turn out so crispy!

I guess if you have a cast iron skillet the times and temperature are correct.  I used a regular non-stick skillet and medium high was necessary for 10 minutes on both sides.  Also, before you flip it you need to add more butter to the skillet.  <br /><br />For people complaining about the gray appearance:  you are letting the potatoes sit for too long.  Grate them, dry them and cook them and they will be fine.  <br /><br />This is a typical recipe for hash browns.  Check the underneath side to see if they are done to your liking before flipping them.  Also, when you first put them in the skillet, flatten them out as evenly as you can with a spatula.  Finally, you only need to salt the first open side before flipping.  Thanks Alton.
