Super Crispy Hashbrowns on Blackstone

Why Cook Hash Browns on a Blackstone?

The Blackstone’s flat top gets super hot and holds heat evenly, which means you get that irresistible crispy crust on the outside while the inside stays tender and fluffy. No soggy hash browns here.

Making breakfast for a crowd? No problem. You can cook a big batch of hash browns and throw on eggs, bacon, and pancakes—all at once. It's a breakfast lover’s dream.

The flat surface of a griddle allows hash browns to spread out in a thin, even layer, maximizing contact with the hot surface. This helps in achieving that perfect crispy texture on the outside while keeping the inside tender and soft.

Cooking outside keeps the heat and grease out of your kitchen. Plus, clean-up is fast with the Blackstone’s easy grease management system.

Ingredients Needed for Blackstone Hashbrowns

• 2 cups of Simply Hash Brown Potatoes, Shredded
• 3 tablespoons melted butter, preferably Keri Gold
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped green onions, or sour cream

How to make Hash Browns on a Blackstone

Preheat the Griddle Preheat your griddle to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C). If you don't have a temperature gauge, you can test by flicking a few drops of water onto the griddle; if they sizzle and evaporate quickly, it's ready.

Cook the Hash Browns: Add the vegetable oil or melted butter to the griddle, spreading it evenly. Spread the grated potatoes evenly across the griddle in a thin layer. Avoid overcrowding the griddle to ensure even cooking and crispiness.

Flip for Crispy Perfection: Allow the hash browns to cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the hash browns using a spatula. If they're sticking, give them a bit more time to cook. Cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes until crispy and golden brown.

Serve and Enjoy: Once both sides are crispy and golden, remove the hash browns from the griddle.Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, chopped green onions, or a dollop of sour cream

Recipe Tips for Blackstone Hash Browns

1. For an extra crispy texture, you can cook the hash browns in smaller batches.
2. If you prefer them softer, you can reduce the cooking time slightly.
3. Experiment with additional seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or a pinch of cayenne pepper for added flavor.
4. I used a bag of Simply Potatoes cause they are already fresh and preshredded but feel free to use fresh potatoes and grate your own. You will have to make sure all the water is drained with a clean kitchen towel. 
5. Enjoy your homemade crispy hash browns!
6. Avoid Overcrowding: Give each hash brown enough space on the griddle. This ensures they cook evenly and develop a crispy texture.
7. Use Medium-High Heat: This temperature range is ideal for achieving a golden crust without burning the potatoes.Be Patient: Allow the hash browns to cook undisturbed before flipping. This patience pays off with a perfectly crispy result.
