[@sudopeople]

I've been missing this my whole life. I can't believe how easy this is. I got impatient and served myself a plate before they were as done as yours, but they were still crispy in most parts, and looked that beautiful golden brown like in diners. Honestly, even cooking these a little less than you did, they were better than the vast majority of restaurant hash browns I've had. There's one place I can think of off the top of my head that does them better, but I doubt for long. This was my first time and they're in the 99% percentile! The paprika and cayenne took it to a whole new level for me, and I called an audible and sprinkled in a little garlic powder because I can't leave well enough alone. You're my hero, Chef John.

[@kevinstory872]

to make it easier try microwaving the potato for 30 seconds and then you just need to focus on the browning.

[@ramencurry6672]

I remember once Anthony Bourdain was eating somewhere in S America; probably Chile. And then out comes a ramekin of ketchup with his meal. He rolls his eyes and makes a snide comment.

[@tiffanynelson9537]

This is the first hashbrown that has come out well for me in so many years - thank you dearly, Chef John! I've been cooking such a long time and am not a beginner, but they've always been difficult for me. I can make advanced recipes that take hours, but the simple hashbrown was difficult! I think one of the keys is super dried out potatoes post shredding into the water, and clarified butter helps. :)

[@WastedTalent-]

Yup. It's all in the washing and drying. I learned that lesson years ago. Some diners use a salad spinner to dry them.

Crafty Loops man onions and mushrooms kept me alive this year if you'd it want any onion I'll take that from you.

[@catzkeet4860]

Since when was celery a part of the onion family?

[@AlphaWolf096]

I'm exactly the opposite. I can work with everything you listed except garlic. Of course, I don't have an allergic reaction, but I gag very badly with garlic. I can handle a tiny bit that you don't taste at all, but other than that...just no. Also celery isn't in the onion family. Just because it grows from a bulb, doesn't mean it is related to onions. Otherwise tulips and radishes would be related to onions. Celery is more closely related to a potato than an onion. I say this because celeriac (the root of a slightly different plant in the celery family) is actually a lot like a potato. Yep, you can put celeriac in mashed potatoes and no one will know what is in it, because it's that similar. The only clue they'd have is a few possible celeriac chunks, and a celery-like flavor. So, even if you're allergic to celery, it shouldn't be listed as part of the onion family. I recommend listing it separately from any other vegetables except celeriac.
