Description
Golden, crispy hashbrowns loaded with melted cheese, crispy bacon, green onions, and sour cream — a hearty and satisfying dish great for breakfast, brunch, or a comfort-food side.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil or butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Heat oil or butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Spread hashbrowns evenly in the skillet and press down slightly. Cook undisturbed for 5–7 minutes or until golden and crispy on the bottom.
- Flip the hashbrowns and cook the other side for another 5–7 minutes until crispy and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover with a lid and cook 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Top with crumbled bacon and green onions. Serve hot with sour cream on the side or dolloped on top.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, cook hashbrowns in a cast iron skillet.
- Add sautéed onions, peppers, or jalapeños for more flavor.
- Swap bacon for cooked sausage or make it vegetarian by skipping the meat.
