Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and shred them using a box grater. Rinse the shredded potatoes in cold water and squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
In a skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet, place on paper towels to drain, then crumble into small pieces. Set aside.
Chop the green onions into thin slices and set aside for garnish.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium-high heat until hot.
Add the shredded potatoes to the skillet in an even layer. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cook without stirring for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the potatoes using a spatula. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the other side is golden brown and crispy as well.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hash browns and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt for 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the hash browns to a serving plate.
Top the hash browns with crumbled bacon, a dollop of sour cream, and the sliced green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your loaded hash browns!
