Its been 30 years since I had the real thing, but this Panni mix sure tasted authentic. I havn't tried it in the woods yet, but all you do is add water. The batter is really thick, and is easier to fry in a small pan than hash brown mix, by far.

YMMV, but this is a good one IMHO.

With a bit more surfing, I noticed that it was the shredded/original version which I tried. Not sure if there is much difference, but it is what they sold at my local grocery:
