crispy Hashbrowns (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
4 to 5 big grated potatoes.
02 -
A pinch of salt and black pepper.
03 -
Half a teaspoon of powdered onion.
04 -
Half a teaspoon of powdered garlic.
05 -
Half a cup of shredded mozzarella (optional).
06 -
A quarter cup of melted butter (if you'd like).
07 -
1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese.
08 -
2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives.
09 -
1/4 cup of green onions, diced.
10 -
4 slices of bacon, cooked crispy and broken into bits.
11 -
A quarter cup of sour cream.
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 425°F. Grate the potatoes, then twist them up tight in a kitchen towel to remove the water.
02 -
In a bowl, toss the grated potatoes with pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and oil.
03 -
Line a baking sheet, spread your potato mixture, then press it evenly down. Flip once midway and bake for 20-25 minutes till golden and crisp.
04 -
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top. Let it bake a few more minutes, just enough to melt.
05 -
If you're using butter, pour it gently over the top. Then pile on sour cream, bacon bits, chopped onions, chives, and mozzarella if you'd like.
# Notes:
01 -
Get every drop of water out of the grated potatoes to make them super crunchy.
02 -
If you're short on time, frozen hashbrowns work great too.
