Crispy Hash Browns

Hash brown is a breakfast simply made from pan fried shredded potato. An easy to prepare breakfast without fancy ingredients. My kids loves hash browns from Mc Donald but they also like my own version. I made mine crispy so my youngest named it "crispy potato". Crispy potato has been our household favorite breakfast except for hubby who still insists on Mc Donald Hash Browns. Mother should try this easy to prepare food.
