Hassle Free Hash Browns
Yield: 100 servings
Ingredients
- 35 pounds baking potatoes
- 3 pounds onions, finely diced
- Seasoning salt, to taste
- Vegetable oil
Instructions
- One or two days ahead, heat oven to 400 degrees F and scrub potatoes well. Arrange in oven on racks, without touching (you may have to do this in batches.)
- Bake potatoes until fork-tender.
- Cool, chill in refrigerator and then store in plastic bags or containers.
- When cool, the potatoes can be sliced and/or diced, leaving the skins on, and stored until ready to cook.
- To cook, pan fry in a little oil, adding chopped onion and sprinkling generously (or to taste) with seasoning salt, cooking until golden and crispy.
Notes
SAFETY TIP: NEVER cook baked potatoes in foil. It is no longer considered a safe method as the moist area inside the foil can breed bacteria at a fast rate.
