- One Pan 5-ingredient Chicken Skillet
- Persian Sausage and Potato Skillet – Sosis Bandari
- Chicken Chorizo Rice Skillet
- Quick Korean Beef
- One Pan Chicken Parmesan Pasta
I used Simply Potatoes® Shredded Hash Browns to make this dinner and loved how quick and easy it was to put a full dinner together!
Instructions
A heavy bottom skillet is your best option for making 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:
- Olive oil is great for hash browns. If you don’t have olive oil, butter, vegetable or coconut oil would work, too.
- You can serve this dinner entrée with fixings such as lettuce, sour cream, guacamole and salsa although this dish is a full dinner on its own.
- You can easily add eggs to this recipe. Simply mix the hash browns with sausage and pepper, open 4 small wells in the skillet, crack 4 eggs, and place 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.
You can add different veggies or leave out some of them. Be creative and experiment until you find your perfect combination of flavors!
