Skillet Hash Browns

This easy vegan skillet hash brown recipe is the ultimate weekend breakfast or brunch centerpiece. By using shredded russet potatoes and a hot frying pan, you achieve a wonderfully crisp, golden exterior that contrasts beautifully with a fluffy, tender middle. The addition of sliced spring onions provides a subtle, savoury depth that elevates these potatoes from a simple side to a standout dish. It is a fantastic plant-based option for those seeking a comforting, homemade alternative to frozen varieties.

Perfect for sharing, this large-scale hash brown can be prepared ahead of time and kept warm in a low oven without losing its crunch. Serve it sliced into generous wedges alongside grilled tomatoes and vegan sausages, or enjoy it as a satisfying gluten-free base for a cooked breakfast. Finishing with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and fresh onion greens ensures every bite is packed with flavour and texture.

Ingredients for Skillet Hash Browns

  • 5 russet potatoes (about 1.4kg ), peeled, coarsely shredded

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

  • 8 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

  • 2 bunches spring onions, greens and whites separated, thinly sliced

  • Coarse sea salt (such as Maldon)

How to make Skillet Hash Browns

Rinse potatoes in a colander under cold water until water runs clear. Squeeze firmly to remove excess liquid. Transfer to a large bowl. Add salt and pepper; toss to coat.

Heat 90ml oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of potatoes; press gently into an even layer. Sprinkle with spring onion whites. Top with remaining potatoes; press gently again. Cook until golden brown on bottom and sides, 10-15 minutes.

Slide hash browns onto a plate. Carefully place skillet upside down over hash browns and flip to invert into skillet, browned side up. Drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons oil around sides of skillet. Cook hash browns until bottom is golden brown, 10-15 minutes longer; slide onto a plate and season with sea salt. Top with spring onion greens and cut into wedges.

DO AHEAD: Hash browns can be made 1 hour ahead. Place on a wire rack set inside a large rimmed baking sheet and keep them in a 93°C oven. Top with spring onions before serving.
