Absolutely. I can make soooo many hash browns for $3. They're not exactly the same, but that's probably because I pan fry them like latkes

I love making hash browns like this! I use a salad shooter to shred a potato with a bit of onion, then put them in a nonstick pan and put seasoned salt and oil on top.

That's similar to how we made them when I worked at a steakhouse, but of course we had fancier equipment there than I have at home.

Some people dry the shreds with a paper towel beforehand to make sure they don't get soggy, but I've never found this step necessary.

Agreed, the drying doesn't seem to affect soggyness. I do notice they're less sticky in the pan if I have the wherewithal to soak them after shredding for a while, but usually that doesn't happen.
