Step 3: Finish the potato mixture

Hash browns

  • Cornstarch
    8 ga spoonful
  • Salt
    to taste

From previous steps

  • Par-fried potatoes

Transfer the potatoes from the strainer to a large bowl. Add a large sprinkle of salt and the cornstarch to the potatoes.

With a spatula, mix to evenly disperse the cornstarch and slightly rough up the potato exteriors. Let the mixture cool down until workable with your hands.
