3-4 slices thick-cut bacon

3/4 cup diced onions

12 ounces fresh hash browns-a little more than half of the bag

2 tablespoons butter

Sprinkle salt and pepper

Dice bacon and cook over medium-high heat

Add diced onions and cook until lightly brown

Add hash browns

Add butter and salt and pepper

Flip hash browns frequently while cooking over medium/medium-high heat

Hash browns are done cooking when they are crispy and brown

Tips:

Use frozen diced onions. They are super convenient and really easy to use instead of fresh onions

Use fresh hash browns instead of frozen ones. They keep their shape better and are cool more evenly

Adjust the amount of butter used based on the fat content of your bacon. The hash browns will “fry” in the bacon grease but will need some butter to cook evenly.

Make sure the bacon and onions are cooked and lightly brown before adding the potatoes.
