Ingredients
- 30 ounces shredded hash browns (thawed)
- 4 Tablespoons all-vegetable shortening or butter (divided)
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Griddle: Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium heat to ensure even cooking and a perfect crispy texture for the hash browns.
- Prepare the Cooking Surface: Once the griddle is hot, add 2 tablespoons of shortening or butter, allowing it to melt and spread it evenly to coat the cooking surface.
- Form the Hash Browns: Place the shredded hash browns onto the griddle and divide them into 8 equal portions. Use a spatula to press each portion down evenly to ensure consistent thickness. Sprinkle each patty generously with seasoned salt.
- Cook First Side: Allow the hash browns to cook undisturbed for 7-8 minutes, until the bottoms turn golden brown and crispy.
- Add More Fat: Before flipping, distribute the remaining 2 tablespoons of shortening or butter evenly, placing some on top of each hash brown patty to enhance browning and flavor.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the hash browns and cook for another 6-7 minutes on the second side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Notes
- Make sure the hash browns are fully thawed before cooking to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Do not disturb the hash browns while cooking the first side to allow a crust to form.
- Adjust the heat as necessary if the hash browns brown too quickly or not enough.
- Seasoned salt can be substituted with regular salt and additional spices like paprika or garlic powder if preferred.
- Use a sturdy spatula to flip the patties carefully to prevent breakage.
