this is the 2nd time I've tried making hash in a stainless

You're trying to crisp a greasy homogenous can of pulverized hash, not your own larger cubes of potatoes, adding in your cubed roast leftovers and deglazing with stock. It's too fine, it's a puree. So, I use a nonstick. Hash sticks to my cast iron too, nonstick it is.
It wouldn't hurt to have a very thin flexible spatula that wipes the bottom of the pan when you do a flip, too.

What??? They were my own larger cubes. I cubed them myself. Or wtf are you saying im so confused

>>8169818

He's implying you bought canned hash and are trying to reheat it.

>>I cubed them myself
Then why don't we see any cubes in the pan?

Anyway, normally when food sticks in stainless pan it's because you tried to flip it too soon.

Because this picture was taken after i transferred my potatoes to a non-stick pan because i was frustrated

Not enough fat
Not enough heat

Whenever I make hash in a stainless steel pan I make sure to add oil and plenty of butter. Then I brown the potatoes on a high heat while stirring every two minutes or so to prevent sticking. Once the potatoes are browned on the outside I lower the heat and place a lid on top to cook the inside. You should still stir occasionally to prevent sticking even when the heat is lowered

More butter or oil and get it hitter before you add you hash

pat the grated potato dry and then microwave it for a minute before frying it

fry on low heat
