Ask Dr. Potato
Q: How do I keep shredded hash browns from turning dark?
A: When potatoes are cut, exposure to air or oxygen causes them to darken. The simplest and most effective method to prevent discoloration is to place the shredded potatoes in water with concentrated lemon juice or white wine vinegar, using one teaspoon for every gallon of water.
