Traditional hash browns are a quintessential breakfast food. Add some salt here, some pepper there and maybe a squirt of ketchup on top—that’s when it really gets good. However you like to dress it up, the crunchy goodness of fried potatoes has always been a crowd favorite. But what happens when the conventional breakfast staple evolves to balance crunchy and creamy? When those golden taters have an added kick of gooey, cheesy goodness? Let me tell you: it’s spud-tacular.
