    No, this will prevent the hash browns from sticking and holding correctly. Use butter instead.
  • Question
    Are frozen hash browns from stores already cooked?
    Community Answer
    It depends. Some brands sell it ready to eat, just warm it for a minute in your microwave and its ready, but some brands have a frozen piece of a shredded potato that you have to cook yourself. Follow the package directions.

    How can I avoid the hash browns sticking?
    Community Answer
    Sprinkle some droplets of water on the skillet to make sure it isn't too hot. A properly preheated pan is one of the keys to keep the hash browns from sticking to the pan. If the water immediately vaporizes into steam, then the pan is too hot.
