The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Frozen Hashbrowns

Frozen Hashbrowns from Laura at Heavenly Homemakers

Scrub and stab a bunch of potatoes.  Place in an oven proof dish that has a lid.  Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.  Allow potatoes to cool completely.

Peel cool potatoes with a vegetable peeler.  Cut out the bad spots.

Shred potatoes with a cheese grater.  Either cook them now or freeze them for later.

To Freeze:
Lay them out on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and freeze for several hours.  Transfer to gallon freezer ziplocks.

To cook:
A cast iron skillet on the stove works wonderfully for these hashbrowns.  Melt a very generous amount of butter in the skillet over medium high heat.  Add potatoes and cook them on one side for 4-5 minutes, then turn.  Cook until golden brown and slightly crispy.  DON'T stir them or they will turn to mush.

If hashbrowns are frozen, just cook them a little longer on a slightly lower heat.

These are so yummy!!!  Hannah and I just peeled and shredded about 8 pounds of potatoes.  They are in the freezer now.  :)  I am thinking fresh eggs and homemade hashbrowns for dinner!  That is some good eating!  Thank you for helping me Sweetie!

Love Always,
Mommy
