Pie maker hash browns

Pie maker hash browns are a simple yet delicious dish that's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a savory snack. Using basic ingredients like potatoes, onions, butter, and parmesan cheese, you can create a crispy and flavorful treat that everyone will love. Follow the steps below to cook the perfect pie maker hash browns.

Ingredients:

4 potatoes
800g
1 onion
110g
2 tbsp butter
30g
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
27g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor. After grating, place the potatoes in a large bowl filled with cold water to prevent them from browning.
- Peel and finely chop the onion.
2. Remove Excess Moisture:
- Drain the grated potatoes thoroughly. To remove excess moisture, place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Removing the moisture is crucial for achieving crispy hash browns.
3. Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave, then pour it over the potato mixture. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined.
4. Preheat the Pie Maker:
- Plug in your pie maker and preheat it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Usually, it takes a few minutes to reach the optimal cooking temperature.
5. Form and Cook the Hash Browns:
- Once the pie maker is hot, spoon about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into each pie cavity. Flatten the mixture slightly with a spoon or spatula to ensure it cooks evenly.
- Close the lid of the pie maker and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
6. Serve:
- Carefully remove the hash browns from the pie maker using a non-stick spatula or tongs, being cautious not to scratch the surface.
- Serve immediately while they are hot and crispy. These hash browns make a perfect breakfast side or a delicious snack on their own.

Tips:

- Grate the potatoes and onion finely: Make sure to use the fine side of your grater to get even pieces that will cook through evenly.

- Drain excess moisture: After grating, squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the potatoes and onions using a clean kitchen towel to ensure crispiness.

- Preheat your pie maker: Allow your pie maker to fully preheat before adding the mixture, ensuring it cooks evenly and achieves a crispy texture.

- Butter the pie maker: Before adding the potato mixture, melt some butter and brush it over the surface of the pie maker to prevent sticking and add extra flavor.

- Monitor the cooking time: Cooking times can vary based on your specific pie maker, so keep an eye on your hash browns to ensure they don't overcook or burn. Generally, it should take about 10-12 minutes.

- Try variations and additions: Consider adding chopped herbs, spices, or other cheeses to the mixture to customize the flavor to your liking.

Pie maker hash browns are an easy and tasty way to enjoy a classic comfort food with minimal effort. With just a few ingredients, you can create a nourishing and satisfying meal or snack. Enjoy your crispy, golden-brown hash browns fresh from the pie maker, and consider pairing them with your favorite sauces or accompaniments for an extra flavor boost.
