How To Make homemade frozen hashbrowns

• Step 1
  Let the potatoes cool and then using a food processor or grater,shred the potatoes.
• Step 2
  Plunge the grated potatoes immediately in water while working. Otherwise, they'll start to turn gray/green
• Step 3
  Carefully Rinse the grated potatoes well to help remove some of the starch. A colander will work fine for this step.
• Step 4
  Now, Drain the grated potates thoroughly (we use a salad spinner!) or you can use paper towels or a clean (fuzz free) dish towel to gently press ALL the remaining water out of the potatoes.
• Step 5
  Gently spread the grated potatoes on a cookie sheet. If you like "Formed Hash Browns" mound them up in 3/4 inch thick piles and crease them with a spatula to make it easier to break them apart for cooking. If you'd like you can sprinkle them liberally with seasonings of your choice, salt and pepper, chipotle pepper, a dash of cayenne, etc.
• Step 6
  Freeze, once frozen, remove from tray, place in vacuum seal or ziplock bags and use within 2 months for best flavor.
