That does look great! It's the first time I've seen anybody boil the potatoes first.

I was a chef for over 20 years, and in the kitchen, we always used to par-boil potatoes. It makes sure you don't get crunchy bits of spud. In the winter I sometimes use the water I have boiled them in to make hot chocolate as it is very "carb-rich".

Great video of easy cooked food, one thing though, who ate the rest, I would have scoffed the lot straight out of the pan lol

Well spotted! I did go back for seconds, but there were a couple of others around who wanted to try it!

Hmmm. Here (in the South) the crunchy is part of what we're shooting for. It's why the diced or shredded taters alone are called "hash browns" (golden, browned, crunchy, and delicious) Hence my comment about having never seen them boiled first.

Mind there are exceptions up North though.

Are they diced small? I will have to give this a try!

Yes usually. Or sometimes shredded on a box grater. They're often served as a side dish with breakfast (in the case of being said side dish they're often shredded on a box grater instead of diced) They can then be eaten as is or covered with whatever the diner likes: sausage gravy, chipped beef gravy, catsup, brown sauce, etc. or even used as a base to place a soft fried egg on.

Sometimes they have onions and bell peppers sauteed as the potatoes cook and mixed to gether become a dish known as Potatoes O'Brien."
