What Are Veggie Hashbrowns?
A simple hashbrown breakfast never goes out of style. Whether you make it plain or with added veggies, it’s always a win win. This veggie hashbrown and eggs recipe makes a perfect breakfast for the family.
It is packed with vegetables. I’ll show you how versatile it is and give you a few different ideas and swaps you can try.
Why We Love This Breakfast Skillet
There are so many ways you can make it.
This veggie hashbrown and eggs recipe can also be made without the eggs. You can serve it with just toast on the side if you are vegetarian and even pair it with vegetarian sausage. I have tried them with vegetarian hot dogs before. I pan sear the hot dogs and serve them as a side dish.
I also love that the entire recipe is made in one pan. I use my cast iron skillet all the time. It’s so easy to use and can go from stovetop to oven.
HOW TO MAKE VEGGIE HASHBROWNS
If you have ever wanted to make your own hashbrowns from scratch, then you’ll really enjoy this recipe. It’s so easy, don’t be intimidated.
Ingredients
Here’s what I used in my veggie hashbrowns, along with any substitutions you can make.
Frozen Hashbrown – Using a bag of frozen hashbrowns will save you lots of time shredding potatoes. If you want, you can shred your own potatoes, but don’t forget to use a cheesecloth and wring out as much water as you can.
Olive Oil – I love cooking with extra virgin olive oil. You can also use avocado oil or coconut oil.
Peppers – I diced up some red and green bell peppers. You can also add some yellow peppers too.
Onion – The purple onion gives it a nice sweet flavor. Any onion will work.
Green Onion – I used green onion slices as a garnish. It adds some lovely pops of color to it.
Eggs – Use your favorite eggs. These can be omitted too if you don’t want to put them on top.
Steps
First I start by preparing my hashbrowns. I add the spices, salt and olive oil to them and mix. In a heated pan, I like using non-stick pans like t-fal, sear the potatoes and mix frequently so that the hashbrowns get a nice crispy color.
Meanwhile, dice your favorite veggies. I usually add onions and different kinds of peppers. I like using purple onions just to add more colors to the meal but you can use regular onions. When the potatoes are ready, toss them over the hashbrowns and mix everything well. Cover and keep on medium-low heat until the veggies get tender. It takes about 5 minutes.
Crack over your eggs and add some salt on top of them if you need to. Cover and let the eggs cook through to your desired preference.
Sprinkle some fresh ground pepper, chili flakes, fresh chives, and sliced jalapeños on top for garnishing.
