Step by step

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan 170°C/gas mark 5), line a baking tray with baking parchment and spray the parchment with low-calorie cooking spray.

2. 2

   Coarsely grate the potatoes into a large bowl and add all the remaining ingredients. Mix together by hand – the mixture should become more starchy and sticky as you mix. Shape the potato mixture into eight flat triangle shapes (or rounds, if you prefer) and spray them with low-calorie cooking spray. (You can freeze them at this point – just pop some baking parchment between each one before freezing so you can easily separate them.)

3. 3

   Place on the lined baking tray and cook in the oven for 25 minutes. Spray the tops with cooking spray again, turn them over, spray the other side, and cook for another 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Serve the hash browns straight from the oven with fried eggs, if you like (but don’t forget to count the calories).
