attempt to make formed hash browns like fast food breakfast?

I am amazed by how many times and all the comments on my hashbrown video. I got an email yesterday that intrigued me a bit.
Hello, I watch your video on hash browns they were pretty good, but do you know how I can make those triangle hash browns that they serve at school? They taste like hash browns and look a little like them but I can’t find how to make them.
I consider it a dare. There has to be some sort of binding agent. A few folks mentioned eggs and flour in the comments of the vid. Not really sure how to go about this. First step is to keep the potato shreds from turning brown, then form some how and partially cook them to make them possibly toaster ready.
Any ideas?
I'm guessing that a binding agent isn't needed. Just shred
foxspit | August 29, 2008I’m guessing that a binding agent isn’t needed. Just shred and form into shape then freeze before cooking. Then again, I haven’t tried that, so what do I know?
googled around a bit and that seems that the freezing
beerorkid | August 29, 2008googled around a bit and that seems that the freezing before the first fry to golden brown is the key. I would hate for egg to be in there. Should be a fun experiment though.
Eureka! You did it! they're not the bite size I

smittyvonsmitt | September 2, 2008HA! I was just about to email you about freezing it and then cooking it.
Quick question. Are they thin and crunchy, like a wafer??
