    Ingredient notes

    • Hash browns: Make sure you use refrigerated hash browns like Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, they are located in the egg section of your local grocery store.

    • Red pepper flakes: are optional but add a great little kick!

    Raw hash browns mixed in a bowl then pressed into the muffin tin.
    • Step 1: In a medium bowl add the hash browns 1/2 of the cheese and seasonings and mix until combined.

    Recipe tips

    • Check the hash brown cups using a fork to lift up the side. If they aren't brown enough add a few more minutes of cooking time.
    • Make sure you lightly press the hash browns into the cups to form a "nest" to help them achieve maximum crispiness.
    • Don't buy the pre-shredded cheese, fresh shredded cheese taste better and melts nice and smooth.

    Tasty Variations

    You can certainly leave out the bacon for a meatless option.
    Or use ground breakfast sausage or diced ham instead of the bacon.
    Try mixing in some sautéed spinach, onions or red bell peppers.

    Can I use frozen hash browns?

    Fresh are best but if you have to use frozen you'll have to make sure they are thawed and drained of any excess liquid. Use a paper towel to soak up any excess liquid once they are thawed. Or else you won't have crispy hash browns.

    Can I shred the potatoes myself?

    Yep, you can use a raw potato. I would use Russet potatoes and after shredding them squeeze all the water out using a cheese cloth or paper towels, you need to do this in order to get that crispy exterior.

    How do I store these?

    Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. Reheat in the microwave until heated through.

    Can I freeze them?

    Let them cool completely and wrap each one in a sheet of plastic wrap and place in a ziplock freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave until heated through.

    Notes

    1. Make sure you use the refrigerated hash browns like Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, they are located in the egg section of your local grocery store
    2. I use pepper jack and cheddar cheese but you can use whatever combination you want. I do recommend shredding your own cheese and not using the pre-shredded cheese.
    3. Check the hash brown cups using a fork to lift up the side. If they aren't brown enough add a few more minutes of cooking time.

      The easiest way would be to make it ahead of time and reheat it on the campfire.
