CREAMY HASH BROWNS AKA "EVIL POTATOES"

Creamy Hash Browns Aka

The chef at The Captain Lord Mansion, a bed and breakfast in Kennebunkport, Maine served this side dish at breakfast one morning and was kind enough to share the recipe with our group. I also think it would be great with ham or roast beef as a side dish. The chef also told us that he had used the same "sauce" ingredients with cooked elbow macaroni and cubed ham, baking it for about 30 minutes.

Tips:

To achieve crispy and evenly cooked hash browns, use a non-stick skillet and ensure the potatoes are spread out in a single layer.
To prevent the hash browns from sticking to the pan, preheat the skillet over medium-high heat before adding the oil or butter.
Use fresh, firm potatoes for the best texture. Russet potatoes are a popular choice, but you can also use Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
If you want your hash browns extra crispy, cook them for a few minutes longer until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the hash browns. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
Season the hash browns generously with salt and pepper, and add other herbs and spices to taste. Some popular additions include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Serve the hash browns immediately while they're hot and crispy. They can be enjoyed on their own or as a side dish with eggs, bacon, sausage, or other breakfast favorites.

Conclusion:

Creamy hash browns, also known as "evil potatoes," are a delicious and versatile breakfast or brunch dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking with various seasonings and toppings.
