How to make skillet hash browns

A heavy bottom skillet would work best to make skillet hash browns on the stove. I suggest using a cast iron skillet. Place the skillet on the stove over medium heat and pour 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil into the skillet. Once the olive oil is hot and shimmery, add the hash browns into the pan and spread them using a spatula. Cook for 5-6 minutes over medium, medium-low heat. Cut the hash browns into smaller pieces using the spatula and flip. Cook the other side for 5-6 minutes until fully cooked.

For these skillet hash browns, I added the cooked hash browns to the sausage and peppers to turn it into a full dinner. You can serve this dish with a side salad. It’s ready in only 30 minutes!

Notes and tips to make skillet hash browns:

• Olive oil is very good to use to cook hash browns. If you don’t have olive oil, butter, vegetable or coconut oil would work, too.
• You can serve this dinner entree with fixings such as lettuce, sour cream, guacamole and salsa although this dish is a full dinner on its own.
• To make skillet hash browns and eggs, once you mix the hash browns with sausage and pepper, open 4 small wells in the skillet and bread one egg into each well. Cover and cook for 5-6 minutes until the yolks are almost cooked.
• Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
• For more heat, add some diced jalapenos with the sausage and cook.

Skillet hash browns are the perfect dinner for you and your family! You can add different veggies or leave out some of them. I love quick weeknight dinners especially in the holiday season when we’re all super busy and we don’t have much time to make dinner.

Have fun in this busy season!
