These crisp, perfectly cooked homemade hash browns are made in a skillet, with shredded potatoes, scallions and seasoning for the perfect breakfast side dish to go with your morning eggs.
Making them from scratch is so much healthier than buying the frozen kind, and here I use just a little oil, the cast iron skillet helps brown the edges.
I love hash browns, but hate when they lack flavor. Spices I am sure you already have in your spice rack like salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and chili powder give these potatoes so much flavor. You can shred the potatoes with a box grater or use a food processor. If you use frozen, let them thaw, and squeeze excess liquid before mixing. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for the week.
