Hash browns

There is a popular pin on pinterest right now. You put hash browns in a waffle iron and it cooks them and makes them crispy. We were in a bind the other day and decided to try it. It didn't work. Despite cooking spray (which wasn't called for) and ample time, they stuck to the iron and were not crispy or very done. Cross another one of the list for me. (I can't find the pin, or I would link to it.)
