A crunchy edged, morish hash brown with a tender potato inside, comes down to starting with the right potato and then following this technique of pre-cooking the grated potato before shaping into a patty. Once you have nailed the classic hash brown on the barbecue, why not mix it up with some garlic, herbs or even parmesan cheese!

- Once the griddle has preheated, scrape it clean with a scraper. Oil the griddle (approximately 2 tablespoons of olive oil) and spread it with the back of a spatula.
- Note: Depending on the size of your Slate, you may need to cook the potato in two batches. Add the ghee and potato to the griddle and cover with the Weber Basting Dome. Pre-cook the grated potato, stirring every minute or two, for 5 to 10 minutes or until the potato just begins to turn translucent.
