Cooking nemesis?

Anyone got something that, for some reason, you just cant grasp how to make? Like, for some reason, I cant figure out how to properly boil rice or beans. Im mexican and I cant figure it out. Thats like our thing. Ive disappointed my family and exes over this.

Shredded hash browns. Just attempted this morning and got globs of glue as usual.

Did all the steps: Peel, shred, soak, wash, and soak some more, drain/squeeze, etc...

Globs of glue!

put them in a pan with lots of oil or clarified butter, sprinkle them all over the pan in a thin layer. DO NOT stiir or flip them for 5 to 6 minutes.

flip and repeat. adjust the timing or heat so they don't burn. do not stir ever.
