Can I remove excess moisture from my shredded potatoes AFTER I added flour, egg and seasoning?
After peeling, I rinsed and dried them, but forgot to squeeze excess liquid before adding egg, flour and seasoning. Is there anything I can do or add to the mixture to ensure a crispy, crunchy hash browns?

From a mixture of experience and guessing, what I would do to remove the water is cook them over low to medium heat at first, hoping to gradually dry them out while cooking.
As you want crispy, presumably nicely browned potatoes, I would only raise the frying pan temperature near the end - and stay with them while they finish cooking to avoid burning.
