Ingredients
- 20 oz bag refrigerated shredded hash browns *We like the Simply Potatoes brand found in the refrigerator section of the grocery store.
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
