I make this, usually on weekend mornings. I go through frozen hash browns too fast so I just shred my own potatoes, anything I have in the potato bin.

Ingredients

  1. 1medium/large potato per person, I used 2 good sized ones here
  2. to tasteSalt and pepper
  3. 1/2 tspeach garlic
  4. and onion powders
  5. 1 tbspdried minced onion
  6. 1/2 cupColby jack cheese
  7. Cooking spray
  8. 2 tbspfat of choice, olive, vegetable, butter, margarine, bacon fat, etc

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Shred washed potatoes, unpeeled, into a bowl of water. Let sit for a bit.

  2. 2

    Drain potatoes well, wringing them out. Dump them back into the empty bowl.

  3. 3

    Season with the salt, pepper, onion and garlic, minced onion and cheese. Combine.

  4. 4

    I use either a nonstick skillet OR a cast iron skillet. On medium/high heat, Spray and melt fat evenly in skillet and dump potato mixture in. Spread them out and pull the edges into a circle with the spatula and press them. Let them cook for a good 5 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed, with a lid on.

  5. 5

    I use my spatula to cut the hash browns in fourths and flip them, reforming my circle, then let them brown again with the lid. I do this about 4 times. I let the middle spill out to brown each time. When I think they’re nearly done I remove the lid and crisp.

  6. 6

    When they look golden brown and delicious and it’s all come together, slide it out onto a plate and have at it🙃

I'm an army brat with a Cajun mother and an Irish dad. I'm married to the love of my life, David, and we have 2 daughters and 2 grandchildren. I've been a barber for 40 years. Im an old fashioned, old school cook and my recipes are basic. I change them up all the time.Since finding out I’m diabetic I’ve had to rearrange old habits. Any recipe I have can be made the old fashioned way OR replaced with lower carb options. Just ask and I’ll tell you what has worked for me.I’m the self proclaimed queen of the leftover. I have issues with leftovers looking back at me with the same sappy look they had the day before. Can’t do it. My super power is turning what I find in my fridge into something I want to eat. I work so much better under pressure. I live for shortcuts and not having to run to the grocery every day. Work with what you have. Adapt and overcome. Also, the less dishes, bowls, and pots I hafta use, the better. Hope some of these recipes work out for ya!
