Hash Brown Potatoes
Makes 4 servings
2 8-10 ounce russet potatoes, baked and cooled
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (red, yellow, or green)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Preheat the Griddle side to Medium-High.
Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes (no need to remove the skins). Place the
potatoes in a medium bowl with the onion, bell pepper, salt, pepper, and
thyme. Stir gently to combine. Drizzle with the melted butter and stir to coat.
Place the potato mixture on the hot griddle in a single layer. Allow to cook for
15 minutes, turning the mixture every 2-3 minutes, until browned, crispy and
hot. After the potatoes have cooked for about 12 minutes, sprinkle with the
chopped parsley.
Transfer the potatoes to a bowl and keep warm in a low oven (about 250°F)
if not serving immediately. Serve hot.
Tip: When preparing baked potatoes for a meal, bake 2 extra. Cool, wrap and
refrigerate to make hash brown potatoes.
If serving hash brown potatoes with eggs & bacon, cook bacon first.
Keep warm in low oven, then prepare hash brown potatoes and keep warm in
low oven. Prepare eggs just before serving.
