HASH BROWN BREAKFAST SKILLET
Who loves a good BREAKFAST?
I love a good hearty breakfast most especially during weekends. This Breakfast recipe is comforting, filling and easy to make.
It’s the perfect recipe to add to your breakfast table when having guests or for a big family weekend breakfast.
Bacon, Eggs, Cheese and potato all made in one pan. Easy peasy and ultra delicious. You are going to love this recipe!! This could be your breakfast or brunch and can be your breakfast for dinner too.
This skillet breakfast has a lot of flavor and texture. Since it’s made in one pan, that means minimal clean up. Let’s gather all the ingredients and start cooking.
IS IT OK TO USE FRESH POTATOES IN THIS BREAKFAST SKILLET?
Absolutely. If you want to use fresh potatoes, peel and dice the potatoes and cook according to the recipe instructions. I usually love fresh potatoes but the frozen cubed hash browns are very convenient and all uniform in size. (It would save you time) I always buy bags of hash brown especially if it’s on sale.
WHAT ABOUT THE HASHBROWN, CAN I USE CUBED OR SHREDDED?
It really comes down to personal preference whether you like your potatoes shredded or cubed. What I do know is that for both type of hash browns, the key to cooking is this. Try not to flip them. The best way to get that nice brown crispy exterior is to let them sit on the pan and get that nice brown crust.
The one thing I like in this recipe is that you have options, whether to use garlic and onion powder or the fresh ones. With the meat, you can replace bacon with sausage or use both.
Super easy and no fuss!
