"Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: I love haystacks and wanted to make a fun Tex-Mex version for my family. These turned out great! Adding Panko crumbs and cheese to the hash browns before cooking gave them a wonderful golden brown color and texture. Yum. The presentation was top notch but they disappeared to quickly for anyone to notice but me!"
