Restaurants have secrets that make their hash browns stand out, from carefully choosing the right potatoes like russets or Yukon Golds to using pre-made, dehydrated hash browns. Chefs shred the potatoes perfectly, rinse and dry them to remove excess starch, choose cast iron skillets for optimal crispiness, and use butter or clarified butter for flavor. Seasoning with spices like garlic powder and adding cornstarch helps bind the potatoes. Allowing the hash browns to steam and controlling the cooking temperature are crucial steps for achieving the perfect texture. Serving hash browns with complementary elements like garlic aioli and ketchup elevates the dish to restaurant quality.
