Waffle House hash browns don't have much grease at all. You can watch them when they cook them on the griddle. There may be just enough grease on the griddle to keep them from sticking but grease is not the secret. I have tried to duplicate them at home with no success. I like mine scattered and smothered (crispy with onions for those who don't know) with eggs over easy mixed in with the hash browns. Yummy!
