Ingredients

  • 3 cups shredded hash browns, thawed if frozen
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • Oil or butter, for frying

Instructions

  1. Place the shredded hash browns in a clean towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the hash browns, cheddar cheese, egg, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped green onions.
  3. Mix everything together until fully combined.
  4. Shape the mixture into small round patties.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or butter.
  6. Cook the patties for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite breakfast sides or dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Removing excess moisture helps create crispier patties.
  • Cheddar cheese melts beautifully, but mozzarella or pepper jack also work well.
  • For a spicier version, mix in jalapeƱos or cayenne pepper.
  • Reheat in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
