INGREDIENTS

• 20 oz. bag hash browns (or 3 cups packed, grated, and drained potato) 
• 1/2 cup unbleached all purpose flour
• 5 tbsp unsweetened nondairy milk
• 1.5 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tsp salt
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• black pepper, to taste
• chopped green onion (green parts only), optional
• vegetable oil, for frying (canola, olive, or coconut all work well)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine hash browns, flour, green onion, almond milk, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and black pepper (optional: add green onion.) Mix well to develop the gluten in the flour (which helps with binding.)
2. In a frying pan, preheat a generous amount of vegetable oil over medium heat.
3. Spoon ¼-1/3 cup of potato mixture into the pan. Use a spatula or pancake flipper to flatten the patty to about ¼" thick. Fry until golden brown, flip, and fry the other side. Drain excess oil on paper towel if necessary.
