My Hashbrowns...
#1- Bake four big taters the day before you are making the HBs. Cool them.
#2- Dice one large onion and simmer for 2 hours or until completely caramelized. This can be done the day before too.
#3- Fry, cool, and crumble 6 slices of bacon.
#4- Peel, slice, and fry taters in a cast iron frypan(I just like using them) on med heat. Add bacon and onions to taters and heat thoroughly. Sprinkle with seasoning salt to taste, pepper too.
As an option, if you like, you can also add a few of your favourite chopped mushrooms to the taters.
Enjoy!
