Diced Hash Browns
Diced Hash Browns are cubes of russet potato that are parboiled then fried until they develop a crispy golden crust while maintaining a tender interior. The potatoes are boiled just long enough to slightly soften without breaking apart, then dried and fried in hot oil seasoned with salt and pepper. This method ensures a crunchy exterior and fluffy center, ideal as a breakfast side or base for toppings.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potato scrubbed clean
- canola oil , for frying
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper coarse ground
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil (about a tablespoon of kosher salt in 10 cups of water).
- Dice the potatoes into 1/2 inch chunks (don't peel the potatoes) and boil them for 4-5 minutes on a medium heat (a vigorous rolling boil may break them apart, so keep the heat lower).
- Drain the potatoes and dry them well (but gently) with a clean dish towel.
- Heat 3 inches of oil to 350 degrees in a heavy bottomed nonstick pot and add the potatoes in small batches frying them for 5 minutes before removing them with a strainer and seasoning them with additional salt and pepper.
