A delicious recipe for fully loaded hash browns featuring crispy grated potatoes topped with melted cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, eggs, green onions, and creamy sour cream. Perfect for a hearty breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Hash Browns

  • 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and grated
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp oil (for frying)

Toppings

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 eggs (fried or scrambled)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 tbsp sour cream or mayonnaise
  • Optional: jalapeños
  • Optional: avocado slices
  • Optional: hot sauce
  • Optional: chives

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Grate the peeled russet potatoes and rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch, then squeeze them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to ensure they crisp up properly.
  2. Cook Hash Browns: Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the grated potatoes, spreading them into an even layer and pressing down lightly. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook without disturbing for 7 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy. Flip in sections if needed and cook the other side until crispy as well.
  3. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot hash browns so it melts perfectly into the potatoes.
  4. Top with Extras: Add the crumbled cooked bacon, cooked eggs (fried or scrambled based on preference), and sliced green onions on top of the melted cheese layer. Dollop sour cream or mayonnaise over the top.
  5. Optional Toppings: If desired, finish with jalapeños, avocado slices, hot sauce, or chives to add extra flavor and spice.
  6. Serve: Serve the fully loaded hash browns immediately while the bottom remains crispy and the toppings are warm and melty.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated potatoes to achieve crispiness.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned cast iron pan to prevent sticking.
  • You can cook the bacon and eggs ahead of time if preferred, then reheat before assembling.
  • Sour cream can be substituted with mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for different creaminess.
  • Feel free to customize toppings based on your preferences, such as adding diced tomatoes or bell peppers.
