I buy the big old carton of dehydrated hash browns at Sams. Yes, not as frugal as making hash browns from scratch BUT frugal in itself because:
No more potatoes growing eyes before I can use them up!!!
I measured out a cup of dehydrated hash browns and added two cups of water to the bowl. Then I nuked it. (Instructions say to add boiling water and let sit for half an hour.) (Who has half an hour???)
As soon as the potatoes have soaked up all the water you’re ready to cook.

Pre-heat a skillet with the fat of your choice, I’m using EVOO. Add the potatoes and let cook.

TRY not to turn them over until they start to get brown.
Once the bottom browns, flip them over and let the other side cook. Just takes a few minutes.

Add some scrambled eggs and maybe a side of fruit and you’ve got a quick hearty breakfast.
Chili-man LIKES hearty!
