Hash browns

[FlyMeToDunoon]

Cooked or raw potatoes?
I have found recipes using both. Does anyone make them and which do they use?
Thanks.

DD2 has requested these - they have them at school apparently. Instructions please!

i once made them with raw grated potato.
far too much hassle. buy a packet from tesco's and stick in oven.
justification:the kids didnt like my home made hashbrowns
