Did you know a massive 4.4 million potatoes are wasted every day? When you realise your potatoes have gone wrinkly or soft, it can be easy to toss them out and contribute to that huge number of wasted potatoes. So, to help combat food waste, our Modern Milkman tater team has whipped up a quick and easy hashbrown recipe that’ll keep your family full and your zero-waste goals intact.
A stodgy trick
Made one too many jacket spuds last night, and don’t know what to do with the leftovers? This recipe is the perfect way to make breakfast easy – and waste-free- when you follow Modern Milkman’s delicious hashbrown recipe. Instead of using raw potatoes, which hold a lot of moisture and require more prep, we’ll be using already baked potatoes. Trust us, this works wonders and is the perfect way to utilise last night’s leftovers.
Hashbrown Recipe
Ingredients:
- – 3-4 baked potatoes
- – 1-2 tbsps neutral cooking oil
- – Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
- 1. Grate last night’s leftover jacket spuds into a bowl. Don’t worry if the skin is left on – Not only are they full of added nutrients, they won’t change the hashbrown, and will keep food waste at bay.
- 2. Once you’ve grated all of your potatoes, heat a pan on medium and add your choice of cooking oil.
- 3. Place the grated potato into your pan and spread it out to a thin, even layer. This ensures your hashbrowns will get crispy. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- 4. After 3-4 minutes, flip the hashbrown. Cook for another 3-4 minutes. You want them to be golden and crispy for maximum enjoyment!
- 5. If you’ve made enough to share with the whole family, spread the hashbrown love! Although it is tempting to keep this tasty treat all to yourself!
We hope you loved making these hashbrowns as much as we did. But more importantly, we hope you enjoy eating them even more!
