Crispy Griddle Hash Browns

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 21 minutes

Ingredients

20 oz bag refrigerated shredded hash browns

4 tablespoons high heat cooking oil (*We prefer avocado oil for griddle cooking.)

6 tablespoons butter

your choice of seasoning - salt and pepper, seasoned salt, or Shake That All-Purpose Seasoning

Directions

Preheat griddle to about 400-425℉.

Oil/butter the griddle surface. Plan where you will cook your griddle hash browns, and oil/butter the areas for each individual patty. Add about 1 tablespoon of butter to each separate area, and add about ½ tablespoon of high heat cooking oil to each pad of butter as it is melting. *Adding the oil to the butter helps to prevent burning.

Add the hash browns to the butter/oil. Divide the bag of shredded hash browns into 4 equally sized portion, and place each portion in the melted butter/oil. Use your spatula to gently press down on the potatoes and form them into rounds that are about ½" thick.

Season the hash browns. Sprinkle your choice of seasoning on top of each hash brown patty.

Cook untouched on the first side. Allow the hash browns to cook untouched on the first side for about 8-10 minutes. Hash browns are ready to flip when the outer edges are crispy and golden brown, and the bottoms are evenly browned.

Flip to the second side and cook until done. Before flipping add about ½ tablespoon of butter and ½ tablespoon of cooking oil to a fresh area on the griddle (or add a pad of butter to the top of each patty if you don't have any clear space on your griddle). Using your spatula, flip each patty into the freshly melted butter/oil. Cook on the second side an additional 7-8 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Remove from the griddle, and serve hot.
