Ingredients for Almost Waffle House Hash Browns

  • 2 tablespoons margarine
  • Cooked Ham
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • Hash Brown
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

How to Make Almost Waffle House Hash Browns

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of margarine in a medium-sized nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup diced ham. Cook until the onion is softened and the ham is heated through, about 5 minutes.
  3. Spread the ham and onion mixture evenly across the skillet. Add another tablespoon of margarine to the center.
  4. Evenly cover the ham and onion mixture with 3 cups of refrigerated shredded potatoes.
  5. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  6. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the potatoes are starting to brown on the bottom.
  7. Remove the lid. Using a spatula, carefully divide the hash browns into 4 quarters. Flip each quarter to brown the other side. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite eggs and toast.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
