Blackstone/ Griddle Hash Browns

 Ingredients

• Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns (20 ounces)
• 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Gather hash brown ingredients.

Preheat the Blackstone/ griddle to medium-high heat (~450 degrees). 

Drizzle a generous amount of oil on the Blackstone/ griddle. Spread it evenly to create a non-stick surface which helps achieve a crispy exterior. 

Place a mound of the shredded fresh potatoes onto the hot greased griddle. Use a spatula to help spread out and flatten slightly to make as much contact to the hot griddle. (The thinner the layer of shredded hash browns, the crispier you can get them. Let the hash browns cook without moving until they are golden-brown crispy. 

With spatula's edge, cut the cooking hash browns into manageable pieces. Flip each potato section when they develop a golden crust. 

Once cooked, serve with favorite side dish.

Enjoy!

Heat the Blackstone/griddle over medium heat. Add oil, if needed.

Pour 1/4 cup batter into skillet for each pancake and cook for 1-2 minutes until tops are covered with bubbles and edges appear cooked. Carefully turn pancakes over and cook for 1-2 more minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. 

Repeat with remaining batter, adding a small amount of oil if needed, between batches.
