Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Total Time45 minutes
Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: American
Keyword: hashbrowns, sweet potatoes
Servings: 3

Ingredients

  • 1 carton Hungry Jack Hashbrown Potatoes dried
  • 2 cups Hot Water
  • 2 tbsp bacon grease
  • Kosher salt

Instructions

  • Rehydrate: Open the carton of potatoes. Pour hot tap water up to the fill line. Close the box for 12 minutes (don't go longer than that).
  • Remove Moisture: After 12 minutes, pour the carton into a strainer and press out all of the water you can.
  • Cook: Heat 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add one-third of the rehydrated hash browns to the pan and press into a thin even layer. Let cook for 4-5 minutes, without touching. Flip; cook for another 3-4 minutes, until brown. Sprinkle with kosher salt and serve.
  • Repeat: Repeat with the remaining hash browns, adding more bacon grease or oil as needed.
  • Serve: Remove from the skillet and sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt.

Notes

You can use olive oil or vegetable oil in place of the bacon grease.
