Ive discovered the love of making hash browns from scratch! Any potatoes will do, just rinse and shred on a cheese grater. Theres a big secret in this: cookings a pain in the a** if the point is to get it done. Its a joy if the shredding, the rhythm, is a relief from the rest of life - this is not complex, its a simple rhythm. A chance to turn off the brain and let everything else go. I exercise that right. Its like watching tv but productive, I guess. This has made for me the difference into enjoying preparation of food. Its a necessary step. The grated potatoes go into the salad spinner, I fill with water and rinse away the starch. Otherwise the potatoes stick to the pan. Spin the water out. 35 cents of potatoes have become $1.50 in bagged hash browns, without any sodium metabisulfite or food-safe silicone machine lubricant,blike the store bought kind (which forces me to look away or pretend my body doesnt mind). Pan on medium-high with a bath of coconut oil. Healthy. Lauric acid and other compounds in coconut oil strengthen our immune systems, and kill viruses. In contrast, partially hydrogenated soybean oil looks identical, but is made of twisted molecules that become twisted cell membranes that become mysterious health problems in time. Im glad I know this stuff, I get to avoid what I dont want. I fry up diced onion and bury that in potato shreds which I flip until theyre a browned tangle. The house sings a sweet smell, my son cleans his plate and my belly is happy and warm. Food made with love feels better.
