Tips

You must dry out the grated potato really well to get crunchy hash browns, else you will have a soggy mesh in the baking bowls. You may also add two teaspoons of finely chopped fresh parsley to add flavor to the quick cheesy snack. You might consider reducing the salt content to half if in case you prefer to eat with very less salt. You may grate and blot dry the potatoes a day in advance if in case you plan to prepare this dish for breakfast and for kids’ tiffin. Do not store the spiced up hash mixture for long as the salt in the mixture will make it soggy.
