Ingredients
Scale
Hash Browns
- 4–6 hashbrown patties
Toppings
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp chives, chopped
- 1½ tsp ranch seasoning
- 2 tbsp crumbled bacon
Instructions
- Prepare the Hash Browns: Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Place the hashbrown patties in the pan and cook for about 12 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Add Cheese: During the last few minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hashbrowns, allowing it to melt thoroughly.
- Mix Toppings: In a small bowl, combine sour cream, chopped chives, ranch seasoning, and crumbled bacon for the perfect flavorful topping.
- Serve: Once the cheese has melted and hash browns are crispy, transfer them to serving plates. Spoon the sour cream mixture on top or serve on the side as a dip.
Notes
- You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
- Adjust ranch seasoning to taste for preferred flavor intensity.
- For a vegetarian version, omit bacon and add diced bell peppers or mushrooms.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the stove and skillet used; adjust accordingly to achieve crispiness.
