Hashbrown like in McDonald's: we cook quickly and easily

Hashbrown is one of the most popular dishes on the fast food chain. A golden crispy potato slice fried in oil leaves no one indifferent. But in order to enjoy your favorite dish, you don't have to leave the house, because you can cook hashbrows yourself. The recipe is completely uncomplicated and requires only proportions and cooking technology.

Golden hash brown like McDonald's

The classic hashbrown is a relative of Belarusian potato pancakes and Czech brambraks. It consists of potatoes and a small amount of binding ingredients to give the dish a crisp shape. The taste of hot hash brown, fried until golden, is second to none! Keep in mind that this dish is most delicious from crumbly potatoes.

Ingredients for making mouth-watering hash browns like McDonald's:

• 500-600 g potatoes;
• 1 egg;
• 1 tbsp. l. wheat flour;
• 1/2 tsp Sahara;
• 1 tsp salt;
• vegetable oil for deep fat.

Hash Browns recipe, like in McDonald's:

1. Grate peeled potatoes on a coarse grater. Squeeze with a sieve to remove excess potato juice.

   

   Potatoes need to be chopped quickly so they don't darken.

2. Place potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water and put on high heat. As soon as the water boils, fold the potato strips onto a sieve and drain. Cool to room temperature.

   

   Fast boiling makes the potatoes soft and suitable for forming hash browns

3. Mix potatoes with wheat flour, egg, salt and sugar. Put the mass on parchment paper, cover with another sheet of parchment on top and roll it out with a rolling pin into a finger-thick layer. Then remove the top sheet of parchment and cut the potato mass first into squares and then into triangles.

   

   The mass should become homogeneous

4. Dip the formed hash browns in boiling vegetable oil and fry until golden brown. Put the finished potato slices on paper napkins so that the excess fat is absorbed into the paper.

   

   Vegetable oil for deep fat must be refined

5. Ready-made hash browns are very good hot.

Sauces to serve with hash brownies

In addition to ketchup, the following sauces can be served with hash browns:

1. Sauce of 1000 islands. To prepare it, you need to mix 3 tbsp. l. mayonnaise, 2 tbsp. l. ketchup, half a teaspoon of hot chili paste and finely chopped 6-7 olives and 1 small pickled cucumber.

   

   1000 Island Sauce is considered a classic addition to potato and meat dishes in America.

2. Cheese with garlic. The aromatic sauce is made as follows: 100-150 g of hard cheese with a pronounced taste and aroma (cheddar, maasdam, parmesan) is rubbed on the finest grater and mixed with one clove of garlic, passed through a press, and 3 tbsp. l. mayonnaise.

   

   The cheese sauce is very flavorful

3. Tomato salsa with herbs. To prepare a bright sauce with spicy notes, you need to mix chopped tomatoes in your own juice (200 g), hot chili pepper (3-5 g), finely chopped parsley (30 g) and onions (1 pc.). Salt to taste, add 1/2 tsp. sugar and some freshly ground black pepper.
