No need to peel! That&#8217;s just extra faff. After that, there a two important steps:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rinsing<\/strong> &#8211; I like to rinse the shredded potato in cold water to remove excess starch. The starch is what tends to make hash browns a little &#8216;gloopy&#8217; in the centre, as opposed to &#8216;fluffy&#8217;. This step just helps the potato crisp up a bit more efficiently.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drying<\/strong> &#8211; If you didn&#8217;t rinse the potato, it wouldn&#8217;t be the worst thing in the world. However, if you don&#8217;t squeeze out the water from the potato, it will completely ruin the recipe. It&#8217;s essential that you squeeze as much moisture from the shredded potato as possible, not only to help it crisp in the pan, but also to help it bind and cling to the chicken. I do this by twisting it in a tea towel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shredded Potato and Parmesan<\/h3>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve shredded and dried the potato, you&#8217;ll want to combine it with Parmesan. This not only adds a <strong>boost of flavour<\/strong>, but it&#8217;ll also help the potato <strong>crisp up even more<\/strong>. Don&#8217;t skip this step.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Process shots: grate potato (photo 1), rinse (photo 2), dry (photo 3), combine with parmesan (photo 4).<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" data-pin-description=\"Juicy chicken coated in super crispy shredded potato - this truly is the best kind of fried chicken!\" data-pin-title=\"Hash Brown Chicken Cutlets (Potato Crusted Chicken)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cherrywillingham.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/how-to-prepare-hash-browns.jpg\" alt=\"4 step by step photos showing how to prepare hash browns\" class=\"wp-image-31583\" \/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"block-tip cwp-inner has-background has-secondary-background-color\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading block-tip__title\">Recipe Tip<\/h2>\n<p>DO NOT add salt to the shredded potato. It will draw out moisture and make the batter very soggy. Only season the potato AFTER the chicken has cooked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-decoration:underline\">Potato Crusted Chicken<\/h2>\n<p>You want the chicken nice and thin, just so it cooks at the same rate the potato does. As such, you&#8217;ll want to <strong>halve the breasts<\/strong> right through the centre to create <strong>thinner, more even-sized cutlets<\/strong>. You can even gently pound them after that if you need to.<\/p>\n<p>From there, we&#8217;ve got the <strong>classic flour and egg initial coating<\/strong>, which will help the potato cling to the chicken. When coating the chicken in the potato, use your hands to really <strong>press it into the chicken<\/strong> and create a <strong>flat, even coating of potato<\/strong> that <strong>completely covers the chicken<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Frying the chicken is very simple because we are only <strong>shallow frying<\/strong>, not deep frying. You just need enough oil to fill the base of the pan &#8211; you might want to work in batches too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Process shots: slice chicken (photo 1), coat in flour (photo 2), coat in egg (photo 3), coat in potato (photo 4), add to hot oil (photo 5), fry both sides (photo 6).<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" data-pin-description=\"Juicy chicken coated in super crispy shredded potato - this truly is the best kind of fried chicken!\" data-pin-title=\"Hash Brown Chicken Cutlets (Potato Crusted Chicken)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cherrywillingham.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/how-to-make-hashbrown-chicken.jpg\" alt=\"6 step by step photos showing how to make hash brown chicken\" class=\"wp-image-31582\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Hash Brown Chicken FAQ<\/h2>\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\">\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763059100893\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I bake the chicken?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">These must be fried; otherwise the potato just doesn&#8217;t crisp up the way you want it to.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763059109277\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I make it ahead of time?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">These are best made fresh. Prepping them ahead would just cause the potatoes to brown and go soggy. I have reheated them once cooked before, and they&#8217;re perfectly tasty, but they don&#8217;t return to the same level of crispiness.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763059115482\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Could I use a different meat?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I haven&#8217;t tried, but I imagine pork would work great! You could try chicken thighs, but you&#8217;d need to pound them nice and thin to ensure they cook through properly without the potato burning.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1389\" data-pin-description=\"Juicy chicken coated in super crispy shredded potato - this truly is the best kind of fried chicken!\" data-pin-title=\"Hash Brown Chicken Cutlets (Potato Crusted Chicken)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cherrywillingham.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/crispy-potato-chicken.jpg\" alt=\"overhead shot of sliced potato chicken on chopping board\" class=\"wp-image-31581\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-decoration:underline\">How to serve Hash Brown Chicken<\/h2>\n<p>Once the chicken has cooked, I like to rest it on a <strong>wire rack with paper towels underneath<\/strong> to catch excess oil.

I also recommend getting the chicken close to room temp before cooking. I find cooking fridge-cold meat causes it to seize up and release moisture, which, in turn, would work to push off the potato.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>b) Potatoes<\/strong> &#8211; I recommend floury\/baking potatoes like Maris Pipers or Russets, because they crisp up, whilst still staying fluffy in the centre.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>c) Rinsing<\/strong> &#8211; I have tested this recipe by rinsing the potato and by not rinsing. They do crisp up a little more efficiently if you wash off the starch first, but it&#8217;s not a complete deal-breaker if you just squeeze out the moisture without rinsing first. The most important thing is squeezing out the water from the potato, so definitely do not skip this step.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>d) Parmesan<\/strong> &#8211; This adds a boost of flavour and helps the coating crisp up even more. If you are vegetarian then just use a vegetarian alternative. I like to use the fresh dusty variety you find in packets in the refrigerated section, just because it blends through the shredded potato really nicely.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>e) Salt<\/strong> &#8211; You do not want to salt the potato directly, because it&#8217;ll draw out moisture, no matter how much you already squeezed out. Salting the potato will just make the batter go soggy, so just salt once they&#8217;re cooked.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>f) Calories<\/strong> &#8211; Per
