Hash Browns with Fresh Chives

Made with shredded potatoes, these hash browns cook up nice and crispy on a nonstick griddle. A handful of fresh chives adds bright herbal flavor. If you’d like, add some grated yellow onion along with the salt and pepper. Serve alongside your favorite egg dish, such as our eggs Florentine with savory waffles (see related recipe at left).
