The most popular English Breakfast - Hash Browns (a simple potato pancake) are easy to prepare and perfect breakfast recipe. Once I had this hash brown in restaurant as a morning breakfast and thought of trying out at home, while browsing in the internet I found it so simple and immediately I tried on my own. Hash browns are made using diced or shredded potatoes combined  with egg and plain flour as a binding agent, which is seasoned with salt and pepper. It is then shaped to fry. These are golden crispy outside and tender moist soft on inside, an ideal food for kids.

Yields:5-6 patties
Ingredients:
Potatoes - 2 large (select starch free potato)

Salt  -  ¼ tsp

Pepper powder - ½ tsp
All Purpose Flour - 1tbsp

Oil as needed for frying

                                      

Method:

1. Par boil potatoes in heavy bottom vessel. (Do not overcook)
2. Cool down the boiled potatoes and peal off the skin and grate the potatoes evenly using big edge grater.Mix a tbsp of flour to it.Transfer the grated potatoes to the rectangular tray and spread it evenly.
3. Spray some salt and pepper and mix it with the help of fork.
4. Using any moulds make shapes with this mixture. (Use any shapes)
5. Now heat wok and apply 2tbsp of oil. Place the shaped potato mix over the oil spread and cook until crispy golden brown ,flip it over the other side proceed with the same.(or deep fry as you prefer)
6. Now the yummy, crispy hash browns are ready to serve with  tomato / chilli sauce.
7. Best having for breakfast with pancakes or as evening snacks.

Note:

• For variation you can use plantain / raw banana instead of potato or both together. If you wish can deep fry this hash brown instead of shallow fry for more crisp.
• Add one beaten egg, if you wish to taste more delicious.
