However it makes for an amazing dish. Hashbrown potatoes are a favorite. Served as a side dish, they can be offered as a breakfast staple, or served alongside lunch, or dinner

The basics of the recipe are pretty simple, and you can experiment to add to make it your own.

I make my hashbrowns with freshly shredded potatoes, for a single serving, two small potatoes or one larger one will make for a nice sized serving.

I shred the potatoes with a grater, and then pat away any surplus moisture.

Next, I add some olive oil, both to a heating cast iron fry pan, and to the shredded potato.

Then, add two to three teaspoons of horse-radish, and some fresh ground pepper. This might sound strange to you at first, but the combination of horse-radish and potatoes is a fantastic taste combination.
