Instructions

Grate the potatoes and rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch.

Squeeze the potatoes dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the grated potatoes and spread them into an even layer. Press them down lightly.

Season with salt and pepper.

Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the hashbrowns are golden brown and crispy on the bottom.

Flip (in sections if necessary) and cook the other side until crispy.

Sprinkle the cheese over the hot hashbrowns so it melts.

Add the bacon, eggs, green onions, and a little sour cream.

Top with other desired toppings.

Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Moisture Removal Magic 💦
Always squeeze excess moisture from shredded potatoes using a clean kitchen towel to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent soggy hashbrowns.
Cheese Melting Technique 🧀
Cover the hashbrowns with a lid for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking to create a perfect, evenly melted cheese layer that doesn't burn.
Bacon Crispiness Hack 🥓
Par-cook bacon in the oven beforehand, then crumble it to ensure consistent crispness and prevent soggy bits on your hashbrowns.
Potato Starch Secret 🥔
Rinse shredded potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat completely dry to achieve the ultimate golden-brown crust.
Perfect Egg Topping 🍳
For a restaurant-quality finish, use a non-stick pan and baste the egg with hot oil to create a crispy edge while keeping the yolk perfectly runny.
