1. Classic Hash Browns
These classic hash browns utilize spices and garlic to create a crispy, delicious flavor that you’ll want to enjoy time and time again.
Ingredients
- 7 potatoes, shredded or grated (russet, Idaho or golden)
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 3 Tbsp butter
Instructions
- Turn on your Instant Pot to Saute mode and wait until hot.
- Then, add in your butter and stir around with a wooden spoon until it has melted.
- Add in your garlic and cook for about 2 minutes while stirring to keep the garlic from burning.
- Then it is time to add in your potatoes, salt, pepper, onions, and onion powder; mix until everything is well combined.
- Cook your potato mixture on Manual for 4 minutes and then let the steam release naturally. This will take about 10 minutes or so.
