Butternut Squash Hash Browns Recipes

BUTTERNUT HASHBROWNS MY WAY

Steps:

• Peel your squash with a knife or potato peeler. Cut in half and take out the seeds - (can save and roast them if you like). I used my mandolin to julienne or can use food processor. Have also used a grater.
• In a large skillet -Pour enough oil or bacon grease into skillet to coat the bottom of the pan. Heat oil to hot but not smoking. Add the onions, and cook roughly 3 minutes, stirring occasional. Now, add the squash tossing a time or two and allow to cook for a couple of minutes or until the bottom starts to brown. Continue cooking until cooked through and somewhat caramelized.
• Add in the brown sugar or syrup - Flip and stir and repeat until all of the squash is lightly browned and a little crispy. Sprinkle with salt, pepper. If using bacon, add now and serve immediately. These go great with eggs or great as a side dish with basically any meat entree.

Steps:

• Spread the shredded squash out between 2 layers of paper towels. Press down to absorb as much of the moisture from the squash as possible. Repeat if necessary, until no more water can be removed.
• Toss squash shreds with onion, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper.
• Bring a small to medium pan sprayed generously with nonstick spray (a 1 to 2 second spray) to high heat.
• Add mixture to the pan and cook for 3 minutes.
• Flip shreds with a spatula and cook for another 3 minutes or so (until cooked and browned).
• Season to taste with more salt and pepper.
• Optional toppings: Ketchup, salsa, etc.
