BUTTERNUT HASH BROWNS
From Hungry Girl. I love her healthy twists on some of my naughty favorite foods! I haven't tried this one yet, but it sounds fabulous! UPDATE! We had these for dinner last night and they were AMAZING! It really is important to get the squash as dry as possible - otherwise you'll get mushy hashbrowns! :) Also, the squash cooks down quite a bit, so next time I'll double the recipe since we know we like it now! UPDATE #2: Here's how I prepared the shredded squash. If anyone has a better method, let me know! (This wasn't part of the original recipe from Hungry Girl.) I cut the uncooked squash into 4 large "chunks", and then removed the seeds and shell. I shredded the squash using the "big" side of a box grater. If the "chunks" were too large to manage, I cut them into smaller pieces. (Hope that helps!)

Steps:
- Spread the shredded squash out between 2 layers of paper towels. Press down to absorb as much of the moisture from the squash as possible. Repeat if necessary, until no more water can be removed.

- Bring a small to medium pan sprayed generously with nonstick spray (a 1 to 2 second spray) to high heat.
- Add mixture to the pan and cook for 3 minutes.
- Flip shreds with a spatula and cook for another 3 minutes or so (until cooked and browned).
- Season to taste with more salt and pepper.
- Optional toppings: Ketchup, salsa, etc.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes. Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are best for hash browns, as they hold their shape well when cooked.
- Shred the potatoes evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the hash browns in batches if necessary.
- Cook the hash browns over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
- Season the hash browns to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
- Serve the hash browns immediately. They are best when they are hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Butternut hash browns are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a new way to cook potatoes, give butternut hash browns a try.
