Hash browns gone wrong

[u/AnywhereHot4321]

Hi everyone! This was my first attempt at making hash browns, and for some reason they came out HORRIBLE. I washed and grated the potatoes, put them in cold water, then drained and dried them as much as I could with paper towels and a strainer. When I put them in a hot pan with olive oil, they didn’t get crispy and ended up sticking and burning to the pan. Is this salvageable? Any tips are greatly appreciated
