# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The potatoes get impossibly crispy without any dairy or butter thanks to a quick par-boil trick I learned by accident
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully in the microwave, which is rare for potato dishes
02 -
  • Dont skip the potato par boiling step or youll end up with raw centers and burnt edges
  • Crowding the pan is the fastest way to soggy vegetables so use your largest skillet or cook in batches
03 -
  • Resist the urge to stir the potatoes constantly so they can properly develop that crispy exterior
  • Let the hash sit for a few minutes off the heat before serving so the flavors meld together
