Dice the potatoes and place them in a pan, covering them with pink Himalayan salt and water.

Boil the potatoes for about 8 to 10 minutes until soft but not mushy.

Mash the boiled potatoes to a medium consistency and add the frozen hash browns, half and half, and one egg (or vegan substitute).

Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, then add the flour and mix until you achieve a batter consistency.

Heat a skillet and spray with cooking spray, then spoon out 2 to 3 tablespoons of the potato mixture for each cake.
