Servings: 4

Ingredients

Bacon: 4 slices
Potatoes: 4 large, peeled and grated
Chives: 1/4 cup, freshly chopped
Butter: 2 tablespoons
Salt: to taste
Black pepper: to taste

Instructions

In a large skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until they reach your desired level of crispness. Once done, remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside to cool.
Without removing the bacon grease, add the grated potatoes to the skillet. Cook them until they are golden brown and crispy, which should take about 10 minutes. Ensure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
While the potatoes are cooking, chop the cooked bacon into small pieces.
Once the potatoes are done, add the chopped bacon and fresh chives to the skillet. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, then stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Add the butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt into the hashbrowns. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the hashbrowns reach your preferred level of crispness.
Serve the hashbrowns hot, garnished with extra chives if desired. Enjoy this classic dish with eggs, toast, or as is!
