For the best texture, ensure your mashed potatoes are cold and relatively dry. Avoid using mashed potatoes with excessive butter or cream, as this can make the hash browns soggy. Feel free to experiment with additional seasonings! A pinch of garlic powder, smoked paprika, or dried herbs like rosemary or thyme can add a delightful depth of flavor. For extra crispy hash browns, try using clarified butter or a mix of olive oil and butter for cooking. If you're making a large batch, keep the cooked hash browns warm in a low oven (200°F) until ready to serve.
