Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium potato, shredded
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add a pan to the stove with avocado oil and turn the heat on to medium.
  • Grate your potato and use a paper towel to remove all of the excess moisture that you can. This will help it get crispy!
  • Add in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper to the potatoes and mix until fully combined.
  • Separate the mixture into 3 or 4 equal parts, depending on how many you'd like.
  • Once the pan and oil are hot, add each part of the shredded potato mixture to the pan. Press down on the shredded potatoes to form a flat circle. You can use a spatula but I actually prefer to use my hands to make sure it's really packed together!
  • When the edges of the hash brown crisp are starting to brown and the hash brown crisp is firm when you move it, flip it and cook the other side until completely brown and also firm.
  • Be sure to keep an eye on these to ensure they don't burn as well as ensuring they are firm and crispy before removing.
  • Once fully crisped, place each one on a paper towel and absord the excess oil from both sides. Then, allow to cool to the touch.
  • When the crisps are cooled, add your toppings and enjoy each crunchy bite!

Notes

Tips & Tricks

    • Heat the pan and the avocado oil over medium heat before adding the shredded potato.
    • Be sure the pan and oil are hot before adding the shredded potato.
    • If you want thicker hash brown crisps, opt to make 3, but if you want thinner hash brown crisps, make 4.
    • Be sure there is some oil under the hash brown crisps as they cook on both sides.
    • They are ready to flip once you see the edges start to turn golden brown.
    • If they are flimsy when you go to flip them, they are not ready yet. You want them to be decently firm!
    • They take some time to get extra crispy, giving you time to prepare your other ingredients. Patience is helpful here! Trust me, they are worth it.
    • Turn the heat up right at the end and allow to crisp further just briefly.
    • Once done, place each crisp on a paper towel and be sure to remove the excess oil on both sides.
    • It will be done and fully crispy once it's cool.
