Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and grated
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
Optional Toppings
- Salsa
- Avocado
- Sour cream
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Start by grating the peeled russet potatoes using a box grater. Once grated, squeeze out any excess moisture from the potatoes using a clean kitchen towel to ensure crispiness during cooking.
- Cook Hash Browns: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the grated potatoes and spread them evenly to form a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Scramble Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the cooked hash browns in the skillet. Using a spatula, gently scramble the eggs until they are cooked to your preferred consistency.
- Add Cheese and Vegetables: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and hash browns. Then add the diced bell peppers and onions evenly on top.
- Melt Cheese: Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt thoroughly.
- Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with optional toppings such as salsa, avocado, and sour cream. Serve hot and enjoy your loaded hash browns with scrambled eggs.
Notes
- To get extra crispy hash browns, ensure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated potatoes.
- You can customize toppings based on preference, including adding cooked bacon or chives.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and to cook the eggs and potatoes evenly.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt, depending on added toppings like salsa or sour cream.
