On the kewwt side of things is Adrianna with egg baskets but instead of hasbrowns she used spaghetti squash so you can wear a bathing suit afterwards and feel okay about it. (witandvinegar.com)
I cheated and used a bag of un-seasoned hasbrowns (basically just frozen shredded potatoes) and it still worked great. (smittenkitchen.com)
A friend suggested that next time I am out of potatoes to put some frozen hasbrowns in as a substitute. (tastythin.com)
