There is something about the smell of hash browns being cooked that brings up fond childhood memories. I can't necessarily remember specific times we had hash browns, but I can remember the smell of them cooking as the smell permeated the house. When I started this diet, I wondered if I could ever get hash browns that were good without using oil. I initially started with just potatoes and seasoning but the potatoes were always too dry for my preferences. At one point, I threw in a chopped white onion....SUCCESS! The moisture in the onion keeps the potatoes from drying out and gives them a sheen that almost makes it look like they've been cooked in oil. These potatoes are now a weekly Sunday morning staple at our house. They are great by themselves or with salsa or BBQ sauce. My son loves them wrapped into a tortilla with a little BBQ sauce. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!! Click for recipe!

Do you cook them with a top on? I always cook mine without oil and just cover them while they cook on relatively low heat. The water from the potatoes makes the pan moist. Love hash browns, too!

@Brandy No, I've always cooked them uncovered and on high heat. They're usually done in about 12 min.
