This was a big success at our house. Isn't that the way with simple things. We'll be doing it again soon.

This was really good! We served with a fish dish and used 1 regular potato and 1 sweet potato. Because of the sweet potato it was a bit softer in the middle, but that was okay because the flavor was so nice. I made a sour cream and chive "sauce" to drizzle over it and it was divine! Really yummy!!!

Yes, it is a glorified hash brown. But when your family raves about it and your 8 yr old daughter has FOUR helpings at dinner, you can also call this recipe a keeper! It was super easy and cooked quickly. I made it with the Herb Crusted Pork Loin, and it worked out wonderfully. It's definitely a nice change of pace for potatoes at dinner.

Finally made this tonight as a side for baked trout. I buy dehydrated hash browns, so re-constituted them, then drained and used as "fresh" taters. The combo of the oil and butter gives a nice flavor. Very crispy outside and just right on the inside. I sprinkled them with s&p and combination of dried Italian herbs.

I made these tonight but I browned some garlic in the oil/butter first. I took out the garlic before I put the potatoes in the pan because I didn't want the garlic to burn. They had a really nice flavor with the garlic! Super easy too! I made them with Yukon Golds too. I wrung them out and patted them dry. I'll try a different potato next time to see if I can get them a little crunchier. Would be good for breakfast too....a better hash brown.

My husband grew up with the traditonal Ukrainian Potato Pancakes that his father used to make.. I'll admit, they were good but also very high in cholesterol because he used to insist they could only be fried in lard! We both LOVED this recipe and will use it over and over when we are craving the taste of a potato pancake... like the "good ole days". Oh, I did add a bit of fresh thyme to the mix. And I served it with a nice thick Greek Yogurt. Thanks Mellissa!

We made this with the French Cut Steak tonight. If you haven't tried the steak, it is a most. Now, back to the potatoes. I always thought it was so difficult to make anything resembling hashbrowns - primarily because I could never get the frozen ones to cook right. This was so simple. My children devoured them. We always have leftover potatoes. Now my mind is thinking of different ways to make these, like a loaded crispy potato cake. Yum!!! Thanks again Melissa!

I made this as a side dish with the 4 step chicken marengo, and it was soo good! It was easy to make and came out crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

My family loves this side dish. It really is very easy to make. I've used yukon gold potatoes in the past, because they're my favorite, and they were a little wet, so I patted the shreds dry with a towel. Although they need no accompaniment, I'm tempted to try an herbed sour cream mixture. You must make this recipe!
