How Are Commercial Hash Browns Made?
Commercial hash browns are made by shredding or grating potatoes into small pieces. The grated potatoes are then rinsed and dried to remove excess starch and moisture. A binding agent, such as egg or flour, may be added to hold the potato pieces together. The mixture is then pressed into small patties and fried in oil until golden brown. They are often seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices before being packaged and sold.
