Hey guys. I'm going to make some hash browns for my flatmates in a bit. I've never made them before, I've managed to get a basic recipe, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips?

Well, yea, but I'm quite sure I lack in the appropriate vocabulary department.
All the hash related slang I know is... barely comprehensible to native speakers, at best. :(

In any case, I always found a hot hash chocolate (the drinkable stuff) much more enjoyable than mere cookies.

Besides, there was this incident with Granma, I never made cookies after that one...

erm guessing you aint from England (or wherever Hash Browns come from). Greyenivol Colony wasn't talking about cookies (biscuits), he was talking about a potato-based thingamajig

To clarify, I mean straight forward fried potato hash browns... nothing marijuana-based... today.

Stupid Freud.

Tip number one for the rest of your life: IGNORE FRUED'S THEORIES - it'll do you and a lot of other people a lot of good (as opposed to accepting such theories and looking stupid and making people feel worthless because whatever happened to them is supposedly "all in their imagination" or is because "they have a secret desire to kill one parent and fuck the other")

Google is pretty much the best cookbook anyone could ever hope for. When I was back home and hungry I'd carry my laptop into the kitchen, type in whatever food I'd want to eat, and take it from there.

I feel sorry for the Delia Smith generation.

Be careful not to burn them. Hashbrowns should be nice and golden brown, with the outer layer crunchy and the inner a wee bit softer.

Black or frissbe hashbrowns are offences under the UN Decleration of Human Rights.

I would think grated potatoes and perhaps some grated onion fried in a bit of butter in a heavy pan. The outside should be crisp and golden brown, the inside hot and soft, but white.

Or try this. http://www.ehow.com/how_13821_make-hash-browns.html I've not made these, but their garlic rosemary lamb chops were divine.

Hey guys, thanks for the hints. I served them up a few hours ago and they went down a hit. They weren't perfect, but I definately know where to improve upon.
Not bad

Start with red potatoes. Slice or julienne just as thin as possible.Add a littlediced onion. Fry in butter. Sorted.
