Ingredients for Hash Browns

  • Potatoes
  • Sweet Potato
  • 1/2 cup grated zucchini
  • 1/2 cup grated carrot
  • 2 large egg whites
  • Dry Mustard
  • Salt & Pepper

How to Make Hash Browns

  1. Peel and cube 2 large russet potatoes and 1 medium sweet potato. Parboil in salted water for 5 minutes, or until slightly softened but still firm.
  2. Grate the parboiled potatoes and sweet potato using a box grater.
  3. Microwave 1/2 cup grated carrot and 1/2 cup grated zucchini for 1 minute, or until slightly softened.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, sweet potato, carrot, and zucchini.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the egg whites into the vegetable mixture, being careful not to deflate.
  8. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil (vegetable, canola, or coconut) in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  9. Drop spoonfuls of the hash brown mixture into the hot skillet, flattening slightly.
  10. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
