Why This Hash Brown Skillet Brunch Will Steal the Show

The beauty of a hash brown skillet brunch lies in its irresistible texture: crispy-edged hash browns on the bottom, layered with sautéed vegetables, your choice of breakfast meats, and finished with a gooey layer of melted cheese and eggs. It’s a comforting dish that’s easy to make, fun to serve, and always a crowd-pleaser. Plus, you can prepare most of the components ahead of time for a fuss-free morning.

How to Perfectly Prepare Hash Browns

Start with freshly grated potatoes for the best flavor and texture. To save time (and fingertips), a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper will make grating a breeze. Once grated, press out excess moisture with a clean towel—this is key for that crispy finish.

For best results, use a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch, ensuring an even, golden-brown crust forms on your hash browns.

Building Layers of Flavor

When you layer in finely diced onions, bell peppers, and breakfast sausage or bacon, you elevate the humble hash brown to brunch stardom. Use a Bamboo Cutting Boards for Kitchen, Set of 3 to keep your veggie prep organized and tidy.

After cooking the meats and veggies, spread them evenly on top of your cooked hash browns. Add a generous handful of shredded cheddar or your favorite melty cheese to tie everything together.

Baking and the Perfect Egg Finish

Crack eggs directly over the hash brown mixture and let the skillet finish in the oven. This results in perfectly set whites and runny yolks—brunch magic! For easy cleanup, consider lining the skillet with a square of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet.

Kitchen safety tip: Always use a KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Oven Mitt Set when transferring a hot skillet between stovetop and oven.

Serving Suggestions and Brunch Pairings

Garnish your hash brown skillet brunch with fresh herbs like chives or parsley. For a complete brunch spread, pair with a simple green salad, fresh fruit, and a pitcher of freshly blended juice using your Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender.

Plate directly from the skillet for a rustic look, or serve individual portions in wide bowls for elegant presentation.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grate the potatoes using a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper and squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
2. Warm 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter in a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shredded potatoes, pressing them into an even layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes, until golden and crisp on the bottom.
3. While potatoes cook, sauté the onions and bell peppers in another skillet or the same one (once potatoes are transferred), adding cooked sausage or bacon bits. Return this mixture to the top of the cooked hash browns.
4. Scatter shredded cheddar over the veggies and meat. Create six small wells and crack an egg into each. For a mess-free transfer to the oven, line the skillet with a piece of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll before adding the potatoes (optional).
5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until eggs are set to your liking. Use a KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Oven Mitt Set for safety.
6. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh chopped chives or parsley, and serve immediately. For leftovers, store in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers to keep things fresh.
