     Spray an 8" square baking dish with cooking spray and   
     line with parchment with an inch or so of overhang on   
     all sides.   
      
     Put the hash browns in a large bowl. Sprinkle with the   
     cornstarch, salt and smoked paprika and toss well to   
     coat the potatoes evenly. Add the egg and melted butter   
     and toss well to coat. Fold in the Muenster and parsley.   
     Press the mixture firmly into the lined baking dish and   
     flatten the top and sides evenly. Freeze until firm,   
     about 30 minutes.   
      
     Pour about 1/2" of oil in a large nonstick skillet and   
     heat over medium-high heat. Remove the hash browns from   
     the baking dish and cut in half with a serrated knife,   
     then cut each half into 5 "fingers."   
      
     The oil is ready when a shred of potato sizzles   
     vigorously on contact. Slide half of the fingers into   
     the oil and fry until deep golden and set on the bottom   
     (you will know it’s time to flip when they are easy to   
     turn), about 3 minutes. Flip and fry the second side in   
     the same way, about 3 minutes more. Drain on a cooling   
     rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil. Repeat   
     with the remaining fingers. Season with salt and serve   
     with ketchup on the side.
