You can shred potatoes using a box food grater such as a cheese grater or even a food processor.
I use a cheese grater to shred my potatoes which works fine but a food processor will shred the potatoes much faster if you don't like to shred the potatoes by hand.
Having a good food processor is a good thing to make the shredding of the potatoes faster which I plan to get one soon.
But using the cheese grater also works.
The food graters are not all that expensive and you can buy them in stores or even online.
Shredded potatoes are needed for hash browns as well as Latkes.
When soaking potatoes for hash browns you soak the potatoes in the water for at least 15 minutes.
When grating potatoes for the hash browns grate the potatoes over a bowl of cool water and then once the grated potatoes are in the cool water set a timer for at least 15 minutes.
15 minutes of the grated potatoes soaking in the cool bowl of water is enough.
However for even better results when making the hash browns you can soak the grated potatoes overnight in the water.
hash browns are a healthy food in moderation but too much hash browns could be bad for your health.
Hash browns are a great source of vitamins, starch, and fiber which is healthy for you.
However the grease you cook the hash browns in can make the hash browns unhealthy but hash browns are much healthier than most other greasy foods are.
The best and healthiest hash browns that you can eat are homemade hash brows that you make by scratch by shredding potatoes using a food processor or other grating utensil.
Store Bought hash browns contain other non natural ingredients that are used to help preserve the hash browns.
I prefer the home made hash browns instead of store bought hash browns either way.
