The classic hash brown is crispy, rich and loaded with fat. Its typically made with russet potatoes, bacon drippings and lots of butter or oil. We made the following modifications to make it healthier:
We dramatically reduced the amount of oil and cut back on saturated fats by using heart-healthy olive oil.
We used a nonstick pan to get a nice brown crust.
We enhanced the flavor with a Yukon Gold potato, known for its natural buttery taste, and added a parsnip for a sweet creaminess.
We left the peels on the potatoes to add extra fiber and vitamins.
