Breakfast Hash Browns

"I find this recipe simple and the aroma mmmmm. The secret making hash browns is to partially cook the potatoes first so they do not discolor when you cook them. The cheese in this recipe helps them hang together so you get a golden cake of hash browns not just broken up bits. Boil your potatoes ahead of time and it will only take 10-15 minutes to finish them at breakfast"

  • Grate the potatoes.
  • Spray a non stick skillet with veggie oil and place half the potatoes in it, sprinkle with salt& pepper.
  • Top with cheddar, green onions& bacon.
  • Add remaining potatoes, pat down.
  • Turn heat to high and cook about 5 minutes, shaking pan to keep the potato cake loose.
  • Using a spatula lift edges carefully to see when the bottom is golden brown.
  • Place a plate over the skillet and invert the pan getting the potato cake out in one piece, brown side up on the plate.
  • Spray the skillet with oil again and slide the potato cake back into the pan uncooked side down.
  • Cook about another 5 minutes.

  1. These are delicious! I used store-bought fresh hashbrowns (shredded) to save time, and added the bacon for flavor. I do have to caution folks about one thing... the flipping part... easier said than done, LOL. Part of mine ended up on the kitchen floor. I would suggest cutting the hashbrown "cake" into pieces in the pan, then flipping with a wide spatula. The end result is just as tasty, if not as pretty, and your floor stays cleaner! :o) Good recipe, Bergy, I will definately be making these again!
     
  2. This was very tasty and easy to prepare! Next time I'll use more cheese :-)
     
  3. Really, really good! I used finely diced red onion in place of green. Make sure you use a non-stick pan - or they'll stick (oops!). Wonderful taste, texture. Definitely will be making these again.
     
  4. This was very good. I made it as a side dish for dinner. I think I was lucky because I had a plate that was just the right size to fit my fry pan. I put the plate on top of the potato, put my hand on the plate (with a towel to protect from heat) and flipped the whole thing right over. No problem at all. It was beatifully golden brown, crispy on the outside with the lovely melted cheese in the middle. And, as a bonus, it's healthy! Thank you Bergy, for a new way to prepare potatoes!
     
  5. This recipe was made on 3/22/11 as part of my lunch and for the " Sides "event in the Food Photo Forum.Except for cutting down the recipe to serve just one( the full amount of bacon was used,I love bacon)this recipe was made as it was written.There was a bit of trouble on turning this over, so I just cut it into wedges and worked from there. After plating,the potatoes looked so lonesome <br/>I scrambled an egg to go with it.:)This was so good that I'm going to make it again. Thanks for posting and, "Keep Smiling :) "

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
