Easy Cheesy Hash Brown Recipe
This easy cheesy hash brown recipe is best made in a cast iron skillet. It's a frugal dish and a good choice if you're a fan of the Dunkin Donuts hash brown recipe or even the Cracker Barrel cheesy hash brown recipe that gets made in a crockpot. It makes four hearty servings.
Ingredients
- 3 c. shredded potatoes pat them dry with a paper towel
- ½ c. shredded white onion dry these off too
- 1 c. finely shredded dry cheese - I used Jalapeno pepper jack old cheddar
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. dried rosemary or 1½ tsp. fresh, finely chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil + more if needed - don't let that pan get dry
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
Instructions
- First, make sure your cast iron skillet is well-seasoned.
- Combine shredded dried potatoes, onion, cheese, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to a large bowl. Mix well with a wooden spoon.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large cast iron skillet or frying pan over medium heat until the butter melts. Don't let it burn! I usually swirl the pan around a bit to make sure the bottom gets well covered.
- I use my hands to shape the potato mixtures into patties about the size of my palm (medium sized woman's hands.) I make a ball and then flatten it between my palms.
- I add three patties at a time to my pan.
- Cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. YUM.
- Remove hash browns from skillet and keep warm. I just put them on a plate and cover with foil.
- Repeat Step #3 with the rest of your mixture. Add more olive oil to the skillet, as needed.
- Remove from heat.
- Serve immediately!
