I got the idea from Canada, Grate potatoes,
then put in a hot pan, you can add mushroom, veggie of just have plain
put on low heat after a few min, then put lid on keep turning them untill golden brown, or to your taste

I tried the waffle iron idea, and they turned out great! Only problem was, it took a pretty long time to make enough for my family (three hungry teenagers/young adults). I wish I had a waffle maker the size of a cookie sheet.

I use fat free frozen Hash Browns or Potato O'Brien. The George Forman Grill is the key. First pop a serving of potatoes in the microwave for 3 minutes to thaw and warm. Then put them in the George Forman preheated grill for 5 minutes. They will come out browned and crispy. No Problem!

Tried the George Foreman hash browns last night and they worked great! You can also shred up your own potatoes...that's how I did it. A few red ones shredded and squeezed of their juice.

Hey, I stumbled across this topic a few minutes ago and I printed out all the replies. We have a pretty good non stick pan, but I just haven't been able to get the hang of cooking hash browns without oil. I'm going to try some of your suggestions.
And that George Foreman grill sounds like a hoot!!! Thanks a bunch!!!!

Just made shredded potato waffles using fresh taters and they are lovely! I do love crispy things and these fit the bill. Looking forward to tinkering with combinations of spices (and perhaps some onions and veggies).

I just use a regular non stick skillet, but always add 2 t. of low sodium soy sauce...WOW, that really adds a nice flavor, and certainly browns them up nicely!! Hash browns are a fav with meeee!

OMG, this post is almost 5 years old!! I just made a batch. They burnt slightly but the flavor was amazing!! Almost 5 years of my life without having tried these...WASTED!!!!
The next batch at a lower temp is cooking. I am trying to distract myself rather than hovering over the pan. How did I cook them you ask? A little salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder.
Vegging out,

I would like to cook hashbrowns in a cast-iron skillet. We tried it tonight, but it stuck and burned. Any ideas? We don't like using Teflon.

If you read through this thread you'll see a non-stick pan is a *must*, whether it's Teflon, a "green" pan, or any other non-stick coating. Even when Dr. McDougall demonstrated the way he cooks them he says a non-stick pan is a necessity.
Some people mentioned elsewhere that they make their hash browns in the oven, but when I tried it I just got hard chunks of potato using the Southern-style (diced) hash browns.

I've been experimenting today with hash browns in a regular non-stick pan (don't have a waffle maker). Seems to work best in a pre-heated pan on medium heat, with no added liquid - cover and don't touch for 5-7 mins. I made a mess with one batch by adding some water. They stuck.
