Welcome to my blog where I will be sharing with you my favorite recipe for making hash browns from mashed potatoes. It's a quick and easy recipe that you can enjoy for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Using this recipe, you'll be able to transform leftover mashed potatoes into crispy, golden hash browns. Let's get started!
Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp butter (unsalted)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional ingredients (use as per your taste preference):
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, and any optional ingredients you want to add. Mix well. (Don't worry if the mixture is still sticky. Flour helps to bind the ingredients together.)
- Place a non-stick skillet on medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the skillet evenly.
- Now, using a spoon, scoop mixture into the skillet and flatten it to form a round disc shape. (You can also use a cookie-cutter to create shapes.) Cook the hash browns until the outer edges turn golden brown and crispy, which is about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Once the hash browns are ready, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to soak up any extra grease.
- Serve hot with your favorite ketchup or hot sauce.
And just like that, you have a delicious breakfast, dinner, or side dish that's sure to satisfy everyone! What's great about this recipe is that you can tweak it to suit your taste preference. Add some cheese or chopped peppers to make the dish much more flavorful.
So next time you have leftover mashed potatoes, don't throw them away. Instead, make hash browns using this super easy recipe. Enjoy!
