HOMEMADE HASH BROWNS RECIPE

My first attempt making hash browns at home.  Am using fresh new potato.

With simple ingredients this Homemade Hash Browns are a new addition to our breakfast list.  Shredded potato is soaked in cold water to remove the starch. Drain and wrap with towel to remove excess water.

I find it a bit tricky to make since this  Homemade Hash Browns do not include flour or eggs to clump together.

Out of this recipe I get 2 x 6 in round hash browns.  My 1st one, turned out great with perfect size.  But had problem with the second one.  It breaks when I flip it.

What I did was remove them from the pan and shape into cutlets.  Mine looks darker in color due to addition of chili powder.  You may omit this if you don.t like a spicy hash browns.

Despite the hiccups, they came out  extremely tasty even my 1st one has been eaten immediately and I have no chance to  snap the photo.  We ate them as it is without any sauce.

My first trial making this 2 ingredients dough  using  self rising flour and  Greek yogurt.

The dough can be used to make pizza, bread sticks, pretzels and many more.

I choose to turn this  into Plum Hand Pies Using 2 Ingredients Dough.  It comes  together pretty quick but it was damn sticky to work with.

Only  manage to get a decent size of  6 hand pies out of  this recipe.  As I ran out of fresh plums so added some green apple to make up to 2 cups.

My Plum Hand Pies Using 2 Ingredients Dough turned out soft with crisp edges.  Being a tart fruit, plums need more sugar to sweeten but am okay with this filling.

This delicious bread is made with plenty of dried cranberries and nut free.  Like most of quick bread recipe,  no mixer is needed, it is simply mix and stir all the ingredients.

For successful  quick breads. DO NOT OVER MIX.  Once they are combined,  mix as little as possible.  The mixture will contain some lumps.  The result is a soft, tender, cake-like texture.

Added half a cup of sugar and that was sufficient to sweeten this bread.  You  may add more if you like.  Just add one large egg instead of 2 small one.

Cranberry Bread turns out  wonderfully soft with right amount of sweetness.  It was a cross between cake and bread.  It does not need any frosting, we love to eat them just it is with  a cuppa.
