Pro Tips

How do you make hash browns stick together or how do you keep hash browns from falling apart?

The cheddar cheese and Mazola® Corn Oil will do the trick when mixing them with the shredded potatoes. Remember to also press the mix hard into the muffin pan.

How do you keep hash browns crispy?

Make sure the shredded potatoes are dried before mixing them with the cheese and the Mazola® Corn Oil. Squeeze them hard with a kitchen towel, if necessary.

Why are my hash browns soggy?

When potatoes are cut, the starch begins to oxidize. That's because the starch is turning into sugar, and in doing so, it mixes with the moisture in the potatoes and causes it to become mushy So remember, make sure the shredded potatoes are really dry before mixing them.
