Homemade Hash Browns with Spinach and Carrot

Hash browns are pan fried  crispy potato patties made with  shredded potatoes. They are very much like aloo tikki, the popular north Indian snack that is made with mashed boiled potatoes.

In this recipe I have added some finely chopped carrots and spinach in the potatoes. You can also try with other veggies of your choice.

The trick for the perfect crispy hash browns is to squeeze as much moisture out of the potatoes as possible and start to cook on medium high heat without disturbing   for at least 4 to 5 minutes.

These hash browns are quick to make and have become favorite in our home. Hope you all will like it too.
