This was ok, I used fresh hash brown potatoes,rinsed and squeezed dry before frying, light cubed rye bread, and cilantro. I used all seasons seasoning salt and pepper on them after they were cooked. It was very bland in taste until I put the seasoning salt and pepper on them. You could taste the walnuts and vegetable oil. After seasoning it was good.
