Do you boil your potatoes before shredding? I've had good results with boiled potatoes that were refrigerated over night and this way I used less butter to make them. Though I love hashbrowns, I am not yet a master, so I'm interested to get more 'brown knowledge.

I neither boil not shred. I use a very small dice, just made easier by the fact I bought a set of Shun knives last week. I've never been so excited by cooking equipment. The key is to use your spatula to make sure the potatoes don't clump while cooking (med high heat), and to add oil occasionally so there's always some in the pan. Gets absorbed quickly.

Interesting . . . I'll have to give this a try. What is the preferred potato? Russet?

Definitely russet.
