🥔 Crispy Hash Brown Muffins

Ingredients (makes ~12)

  • 3 cups shredded potatoes (raw or frozen, thawed and squeezed dry)
  • 1 small carrot, grated (optional, for color & flavor)
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or mix)
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Oil or nonstick spray for muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a bowl, combine shredded potatoes, carrot, green onions, cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper.
  3. Fill muffin cups: Scoop potato mixture into each cup, pressing down slightly to shape.
  4. Bake: 25–30 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  5. Serve: Let cool slightly, then carefully remove from tin. Serve with sour cream, ketchup, or your favorite dip.

💡 Tips:

  • Squeeze out as much moisture from the potatoes as possible for extra crispiness.
  • You can add cooked bacon, herbs, or spices to customize flavor.
  • For extra crisp, broil 2 minutes at the end.
