Hash Browns - With Video

Hash browns

Who likes hash browns for breakfast? I sure do! 

Warm, crispy, flavorful hash browns with some eggs, maybe some hot sauce. That is my kind of breakfast! 

This recipe is so easy, and simple. You can make it with potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams,  taro root, tapioca root, even squash or pumpkin! 

I normally make three batches of this recipe for my family of six. The nice thing about these hash browns, is that most every visitor that has had these hash browns has liked them! So if you have some picky eaters visiting, try this breakfast on them! 

What You’ll Need:

Two cups of shredded potatoes (or whatever tuber/squash you choose to use) 

One egg

One tablespoon of corn starch (you can use flour, but I like the texture more with corn starch)

                                                                   Salt to taste    

 Oil

Cover the bottom of your cast iron pan, or whatever pan you usually fry in, with about an inch of oil. Turn on heat to med-high. 

Mix the potatoes, egg, and corn starch. 

Measure out your hash browns with a quarter cup. Place mixture in oil and smash down slightly. 

Once the underside has started to turn brown, flip. Once that side is brown, remove from oil and strain, 

Sprinkle generously with salt, season salt, Cajun seasoning, or even taco seasoning! 

Sometimes, if we have left over hash browns, we like to make open face grilled cheese sandwiches with them! Just place the left over hash browns on a cookie sheet, and put slices of cheese on the top. Place the pan under the broiler in your oven. Remove once the cheese is melted, bubbly, and just starting to brown. 

I hope your family enjoys these hash browns as much as my family does!
