HASH BROWNS POTATO SALAD



Hash Browns Potato Salad image

My family would rather have their potato salad made this way than any other and it's so easy I sure don't mind. I can't remember where I learned this but I've been doing it this way for years. No peeling, chopping, boiling, etc. Except for the potatoes I'm just making a guess on the amounts listed. I never measure but I had to put in something to get the recipe posted.

Tips:

  • Selecting Potatoes: Opt for russet potatoes, known for their starchy texture, making them ideal for hash browns.
  • Shredding Potatoes: Shred the potatoes using the large holes of a box grater for an even and consistent texture.
  • Rinsing Potatoes: Rinse the shredded potatoes thoroughly after shredding to remove excess starch, resulting in crispier hash browns.
  • Using Butter or Oil: Butter adds a rich and flavorful taste to the hash browns, while oil provides a crispy exterior. You can use a combination of both for the best of both worlds.
  • Cooking Hash Browns: Cook the hash browns in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking. Press down gently with a spatula to achieve a golden-brown crust.
  • Seasoning: Season the hash browns generously with salt and pepper. You can also add herbs like parsley, chives, or rosemary for extra flavor.
  • Assembling Salad: Combine the cooked hash browns, mayonnaise, celery, onion, and hard-boiled eggs in a large bowl. Mix gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  • Chilling Salad: Chill the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
  • Garnish: Garnish the potato salad with chopped parsley, paprika, or a sprinkle of bacon bits just before serving for an appealing presentation.
