Quick, easy & delicious - I used frozen hash-browns, thawed in hot water and allowed to drain well. After realizing I was using cubed hash-brown potatoes, I took it an additional step and diced in my manual food processor after all ingredients were together. Next time I'll use the shredded frozen hash-browns.

I'm a "newbee" to this site, but not to cooking. I love great food and to share recipes and this site is great! I don't know where the information of a "fry cook" came from, but I would consider myself anything else but that :)
A NYC girl originally, lived in London and Canada where I am now. Met lots of interesting people along life's way who taught me a great deal and enriched my life with their knowledge of cooking.
With my children now adults, the family has doubled in size and my commitment to making memories to pass down to another generation inspires me to cooking.
I find cooking a creative expression of one's personality and never tire of new challenges in the kitchen.
