Detailed Notes
- Use russet potatoes for best texture; they crisp nicely and become fluffy inside.
- Draining excess fat from the beef prevents the hash from becoming greasy.
- Sharp Cheddar Cheese delivers a bold, rich flavor, while mild cheddar can be used for a softer taste.
- For extra color and nutrition, you may add diced bell peppers or carrots.
- Serve it warm and top with a fried egg for a filling, breakfast-inspired twist.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in a skillet for best texture.
