Recipe Tips
If you want to add some extra flavor to your hash browns, you can add some seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika. You can also add a few tablespoons of cream cheese for a creamier texture. You can also play around with the cheese, using different varieties such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella.
