Loaded Hash Browns Recipe

American · Side dish · 35 min total

Crispy golden hash browns loaded with melted cheese, crispy bacon, and fresh green onions – a perfect breakfast or brunch side dish.

Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes (about 2 lbs), peeled
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

1. Shred the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to mix.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potato mixture and press into an even layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
4. Carefully flip the hash browns in sections or as a whole patty. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon oil around the edges. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the second side is golden and crispy.
5. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the hash browns, then top with crumbled bacon. Cover the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
6. Remove from heat, sprinkle with sliced green onions, and serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, soak shredded potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and squeeze dry.
• Leftover hash browns can be reheated in a skillet or oven to restore crispness.
