Loaded Homemade Hashbrowns
I love making homemade hashbrowns, not only are they delicious, they are actually quite easy to make. I always cook extra potatoes when I make them and put the extras in the refrigerator. All I have to do when it is time to cook is grate them and season. So easy!
Loaded hashbrowns take regular hashbrowns to a whole new level. I love that everyone can pick their own toppings so they are happy. It is hard to find dishes that everyone is willing to eat, so anytime I can make do it yourself meals, I do! For loaded hashbrowns I usually cook turkey bacon or regular bacon, sausage, grate a few cheeses and have sour cream. Everyone can pick what they want and make their own meal. I personally love turkey bacon or regular bacon on mine, with some cheese and sour cream. I also add chives if I have them, they add a unique flavor that I love.
You could also use taco meat, chicken, steak, ham, or any other leftover meat you have. The hashbrowns are just the base of the meal, the way you choose to build them is entirely up to you! Get creative, make a pizza like loaded hashbrown...maybe a little sausage, pepperoni and mozzarella? Or taco loaded hashbrowns, taco meat, cheese, olives, salsa, and sour cream. Or chicken bacon ranch! The possibilities are endless. All you need is some great hashbrowns to start with then go from there.
