    Dice up a potato (with or without skins) into small cubes, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil, add salt and pepper, and fry them in a pan until golden brown.

    I grate mine with a grater to hash brown like size, sprinkle salt and pepper on them and cook them on the griddle with cooking spray. They are yummy and not loaded with oil and fat.

    I do the same but I also add a little paprika. It gives them a yummy smokey flavour. Mmmmmm......... now I want hashbrowns.

    do you shred them and cook them from raw or do you boil them first I've heard it both ways

    I use the shredder in my food processor. I have found that rinsing the potatoes after shredding to get the extra starch off makes them crispier with less oil. So, I pop the shreds in a bowl, cover them with water, and then pour the water off through a fine sieve right before cooking. That way they don't get gummy when I use very little oil.

    I also love making the home-fries (diced or sliced) potatoes in the oven with rosemary and olive oil. I just throw the potato in a loaf pan, toss in a little olive oil, and add the herbs. The whole house smells good and my husband doesn't miss the sour cream or cheese.

    Turkey bacon mixed in...


    Made this last weekend...I shredded a potato and then sprayed with a little olive oil spray; put a few pieces of uncooked turkey bacon in mini blender and pureed Turkey bacon; then, mixed it together w potato, doused with pepper, garlic salt and lawry's seasoning and pan sauteed and then finished w quick bake on 400 -- tasted like corn beef hash! AMAZING and not nearly the calories it tasted like it should have been! I only ate a few spoonfuls and was totally satisfied! Husband and kids killed the batch fast!
