Crispy on the outside, gooey and flavorful on the inside—stuffed hash browns are the ultimate breakfast indulgence. Whether you’re craving a classic cheese-and-bacon combo or looking to experiment with unique fillings, this guide has you covered.
Peel and shred the russet potatoes. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch, then squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel.
Season the shredded potatoes with salt and black pepper.
Take a portion of the shredded potatoes and form a thin layer in your hand. Place a spoonful of shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions in the center.
Cover with another layer of shredded potatoes, pressing gently to seal the edges.
Heat butter and oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the assembled hash browns in the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Serve hot and enjoy your crispy, cheesy stuffed hash browns!
Notes
For variations, try adding sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or diced ham to the stuffing. You can also use mozzarella or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor.
