Yes. Try Idahoan dehydrated. They come in a pouch. Re-hydrate then pan fry. Spread them about a 1/2" thick and fry in olive oil on medium heat for longer than you think they need. Stir / toss a few times. Then raise heat to medium high for a couple minutes on "each side". I use granulated onion / powder and paprika when they start and are still moist. Melt butter in at the end. You'll have to play with heat level and such as you go.
Well, I decided to locate some of these Idahoan dehydrated hash browns today at the local. Unfortunately I told the sales clerk that they were Ore-Ida potatoes instead...shame on me. She informed me that Ore-Ida doesn't produce dehydrated hash browns and after going on-line, indeed they don't.
However, a more interesting story line then developed. Common dehydrated potatoes have an advertised shelf life of 25 years...

...is that scary to anyone other than myself?
This is probably great news for those nuclear holocaust aficionados that still live in 10 foot thick concrete bunkers underneath the front lawn

but I was really surprised. I get that dried rice, wheat and beans will last for just about forever if stored in a cool and dry environment and there are currently, people actively baking loaves of fresh bread with the wheat residue from ancient Greek urns.
Just interested in diverging thoughts.
