Thank you! I was beginning to think I was the only one who knew how
to cook hash browns or O'Brien potatoes in this group.

Yup, and what I don't like is using shredded potatoes and calling them hash
browns. I only shred raw potatoes to be used for latkes.

I prefer shredded. My husband used to make awesome hash browns from
raw, shredded potatoes. He doesn't do that anymore now that he's
limiting every speck of fat intake.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I don't like a lot of junk in my hash browns. The only variation I
love is latkes.

Grease is what you put on an axle. Bacon fat is what is used in
cooking.

Shredded potatoes are used to make hash browns. If they are cubed and
fried they are called home fries, unless you committ sacriledge and
deep fry them; then they are called cottage fries.

why do commercial kitchens have grease traps; are there a lot of loose axles
running around in them?

Hash does not have to be fatty. You can use a lean, low fat meat and
egg beaters. :-) Potatoes are not, by themselves, high in fat?
I wonder if you can cook hash browns in "Promise" or some other fat
substitute?

That or basted eggs works well too. :-) That's how dad likes it.

I don't think so. The 'grease' in those traps is inedible. You don't
cook with it; at least I wouldn't.

Promise? Last time I bought it it was margarine and as fat as butter or
oil. How about using a non-stick spray if you want to cut the fat.

Leftover chuck roast or corned beef, chopped fine. Pre-cooked spuds (I
prefer mine boiled, small dice.) Onion, sure. This is one thing where I
don't add garlic and I definitely don't add bell peppers. Taste for salt &
pepper. Pan fry the lot; doesn't have to be olive oil. I can make several
meals of meat & potato hash all by itself. No adding eggs or anything else.
YMMV
