Imagine crispy edges, tender middles, and a golden brown perfection that make every breakfast an experience to look forward to. We all have those mronings where time is a luxury we simply don't have and the word "easy" ceases to exist. Our freezer hash browns are the perfect solution.
Preheat oven to 350. Poke holes in potatoes with a fork and set on baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven for 1 hour. (Potatoes will be just tender and not super soft. This helps when you shred the potatoes before freezing)
After potatoes are cooked, cool in fridge for a couple hours or overnight.
If desired, peel potatoes. Then, shred them either using a hand grater or a food processor with proper attachment.
Lay the shredded potatoes out in a thin, even layer on the baking sheet and freeze for 1-2 hours. If necessary, use multiple baking sheets to avoid thick layers of potato.
After 1-2 hours remove shredded potatoes from freezer, break apart and set into gallon freezer bags. Now seal and set back into freezer. Potatoes will not be 100% frozen at this point but will be close. They will complete freezing in the gallon bags.
Seal, remove as much air as possible, and place into the freezer.

Whenever you're ready for a tasty side for eggs or pancakes, remove from the freezer and cook according to your preferred method.
