One Crazy Trick For Breakfast Potatoes The Restaurant Industry Doesn't Want You To Know:

When you do hash browns, do chunks, not shreds. Use red potatoes. Once you've diced them, pile them on a plate, pour in a little water and put them in the microwave or three minutes. Yes, really. The microwave will dry out the outside of the potatoes and par-cook them enough so that when they hit the pan full of screaming hot clarified butter they will brown on the outside and be fluffy on the inside.
