Zucchini Hash Browns are crispy and light, and are a perfect side to any meal – any time of the day! Zucchini is one of our favorite vegetables to add into a recipe. It’s very mild in flavor and easily adapts to whatever you’re cooking it with!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups grated potatoes, squeezed dry with towels (peeled or unpeeled, we keep the skin on)
- 2 cups grated zucchini, squeezed dry with towels
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons minced onion
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Ground black pepper to taste
- Olive oil and butter for cooking
Instructions
- Add the grated zucchini and potatoes to a large bowl along with the egg, onion, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix to combine.
- Heat a 13 inch, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and a thin layer of olive oil to skillet and swirl together.
- You can cook these hash browns two ways: Place the entire mixture into the skillet, spreading out into an even layer and pressing down with a spatula. OR make smaller rounds like the pictures shown in the post for easier flipping.
- Cook for 5 minutes, or when the edges of the hash brown start to brown. Flip to the other side and cook another 5 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown. (See note below on tips for flipping the large hash brown)
- Serve with a sprinkle of salt and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
Recipe Notes
How to flip the large (whole skillet) hash brown: Once the first side is golden brown, cover the skillet with a large plate and flip the skillet over so the hash brown is on the plate. Slide the hash brown off the plate and back into the skillet on the uncooked side.
Store: Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Reheat: Reheat the hash browns in a skillet with a little oil for the crispiest texture. Alternately, you can reheat them in an air fryer. The microwave works but they won’t be crispy.
