Well, I find these delicacies curiously addictive, but I live in England, and I only know what you can buy in bags in the freezer bit in supermarkets. And as with many ethnic delicacies I imagine the supermarkets may be missing the point a bit. So can any old American folkie fogey advise as to how to make the 100% authentic hash brown as made by your dear old granny by hand back in the hills?
