Skillet Hash Browns with Cheese

Recipe written by Roosevelt Lewis

Serves: 3 servings

Ingredients:

·        3 large russet potatoes, peeled and shredded

·        3 tablespoons unsalted butter

·        Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

·        1 teaspoon garlic powder

·        ½ onion, finely diced

·        3 ounces American cheese

·        Large cast-iron pan

Directions:

Peel and shred potatoes. Place shredded potatoes in a large bowl.

Mix in onion, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Melt butter in cast-iron pan at medium heat. Place shredded potatoes in pan. Do not turn potatoes until nice and golden brown. Using a spatula, turn potatoes. Layer American cheese onto potatoes. Cheese will melt by the time potatoes are brown on the bottom. Use a spatula to lift potatoes out of pan. Place on a plate with paper towels. Cut into triangles. Serve.

Note: Serve hash browns with sour cream and chives.
