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.
