Hash browns - Quick, nutritious breakfast
Potato is the most mistaken vegetable around. It seems to be considered as the ultimate enemy for dieters because of the greasy preparations made with it and the ever blamed carbohydrate content. French fries, mashed potatoes are loaded with carbs and fat. However if properly treated potatoes are one of the most nutritious veggies.
From wiki: Potatoes contain a number of important vitamins and minerals. A medium potato (150g/5.3 oz) with the skin provides 27 mg vitamin C (45% of the Daily Value (DV)), 620 mg of potassium (18% of DV), 0.2 mg vitamin B6 (10% of DV) and trace amounts of thiamin, riboflavin, folate, niacin, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and zinc. Moreover, the fiber content of a potato with skin (2 grams) equals that of many whole grain breads, pastas, and cereals. In addition to vitamins, minerals and fiber, potatoes also contain an assortment of phytochemicals, such as carotenoids and polyphenols.
Hashbrown can be prepared without a drop of fat, thus giving us all the nutrients without the added grease. The ones I tried in restaurants were soaked in fat but it really does not need all that.
All good things are simple - Just shredded potatoes, salt and pepper and 15 minutes hashbrowns are ready.
did you know - The mature fruits of pototo plant are toxic !!!

Thats a lovely colour of the hashbrowns.....i just love them and these have been the sole contents of my breakfast for innemerable mornings...
That's it? Nice post, reflecting how simple it is to make these, but somehow, I never seem to be able to make a cake with grated vegetables like you've managed.
Wow! I would like to try this..thanks thangachi :)
lovely :-) and I had no clue about the toxicity of mature fruits :-)
Well without making this with oil. Count me in for anytime.
I lvoe them, especially whey they give it for breakfst in places :-)
Beutiful, I love it.In fact, just had one for Sunday breakfast. Looks good,anything and everything is good if you have it in moderation. Did you see my Rosti in last post at FH? :)
Enjoy.
It's good to see that it can be made without oil.. Looks so good. I have posted one stuffed with cilantro chutney.
Very innovative and its oil free. great for diet conscious people. Looks really yummy.

I have become a ghost reader for ur site asha. I did see ur rosti.. I cannot manage big pancakes to flip.. so i make smaller sizes. You car looks simple awesome and the car plate is such a nice touch !
So delicious, Revathi! And you are using a cast-iron tawa? Mine isn't so nicely seasoned yet -- good inspiration! :)
It's a good idea. Iam going to try this to know how it would have tasted.
I loooooove hashbrowns! These are so simple and looks awesome! :)
It's great to see potatoes cooked without tons of grease, as they have such good flavor on their own...these hash browns look delicious!
Wow, they look so delicious.
I wish Linda... That is not a cast iron but a calphalon. The only non-stick that is lingering in my kitchen.
they look gorgeous. we bake them before hand, and refrigerate them overnight. that yields really dry, fully hashbrowns.
