Delicious Loaded Hashbrown Potatoes

One of the aspects I appreciate most about my loaded hashbrown potato recipe is its versatility, making it suitable for any time of day. Additionally, the bacon can easily be substituted with a variety of other meats or vegetables, allowing for endless customization. Rest assured, the end result will be a delectable and satisfying dish that is sure to tantalize your taste buds.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium-sized russet potatoes, peeled, washed, and grated
• 3 extra large eggs, scrambled
• 3 to 4 pieces of cooked bacon, chopped into bite-sized pieces 
• 1/4 cup of shredded cheese
• 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
• A pinch of seasoning salt
• About 1 to 2 tablespoons of canola oil for the skillet

Instructions:

Begin by peeling, washing, and grating two medium-sized russet potatoes. Pat them dry with a clean paper towel. Season the grated potatoes with 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, and a pinch of seasoning salt.

In a skillet, cook the bacon until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. Place the cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Crack three extra-large eggs into a bowl and whisk them for a few seconds. Scramble them in the skillet with the bacon fat. Cook the eggs while stirring for about 5 minutes over medium heat.

Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces and add them to the scrambled eggs. Stir well.

In a 6 or 8-inch non-stick skillet, add about 1 to 2 tablespoons of canola oil and allow it to heat up.

Add the seasoned potatoes to the skillet. Cover it with a lid or aluminum foil, and cook the bottom of the hashbrown for 6 to 8 minutes over medium heat. Then, flip the hashbrown over.

Top the hashbrowns with the bacon and scrambled eggs, along with 1/4 cup of shredded cheese. Cover the skillet and cook until the bottom side turns golden brown, which should take about 6 to 8 minutes.

Carefully lift your loaded hashbrown potatoes out of the skillet with a large spatula and slide them onto a plate.

Serve and enjoy!
