Hash Browns

Hash Browns

Ingredients

• Potatoes (raw or cooked)

• Onion (yellow or white)

• Bell peppers (optional)

• Lowry's Seasoning (optional)

Raw vs. Cooked

If you use raw potatoes, you will need to cook them in a pan with a lid, so that the steam can help cook them. This will take a few minutes longer to cook than if you use cooked potatoes. You can cook potatoes ahead of time by either boiling, baking, or microwaving. You know they are cooked when a knife or fork easily goes into the potato. Using cooked potatoes will make cooking hash browns faster. If you shred a raw potato, rinse the shreds in water to remove extra starch.

Directions

• Warm a pan on medium heat, or slightly above

• Cut onion into small chunks, cook in hot oil until beginning to brown

• While onions are cooking, cut potatoes into cubes or shred using a grater. (The smaller the piece, the faster it will cook.)

• You can add bell peppers with the potatoes if you like.

• Turn potatoes frequently to avoid burning.

Hash browns go well with eggs for breakfast. 

Variations

You can add meat, such as sausage, bacon or ham. You may also top with cheese or sour cream.
