Ingredients
- Frozen potatoes(hash browns) if you’re short on time and want to get the job done quickly, frozen store-bought will work fine. I happen to prefer Russell potatoes because they tend to be less watery. If you are using fresh potatoes, the best potatoes for griddle hash browns are starchy or all-purpose potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes. These potato varieties have a high starch content, which is essential for achieving that crispy texture on the outside of the hash browns while maintaining a tender interior.
- onion (red and green)
- sausage
- bacon
- cheese
- Olive oil
- butter
- eggs

How to Cook HashBrowns on Blackstone
This recipe is easy to cook frozen hash browns on griddle, and it doesn’t take long before you get a savory breakfast waiting for you.
All you need are ingredients that are easily accessible, including bacon, eggs, and potatoes.
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle and add some oil to grease it up. One of the most important things to remember when cooking hash browns on Blackstone griddle is that you need to get the griddle and oil hot before you add any of the potatoes. Extra virgin olive oil is also a good choice for frying because it has a high smoke point. Once it’s heated, set the heat to Low.
- Spread out your frozen potatoes on your griddle. To do this, just chop with a spatula to create an even layer on the pan to start thawing and browning.
- In a large bowl, whisk together your eggs to be scrambled. To help the eggs fluff up better, add some water at this point.
- While the potatoes are cooking, cut up some bacon, onion, and sausages.
- Add the onion to the potatoes, mix them, and move the mixture over to one side of a griddle.
- Turn the burner up and place the bacon on the opposite side of the griddle so that it cooks faster. Let the bacon cook until they are done in the way you prefer. I can have them crisp or tender, whichever is your preference!
- Place the sausage in the middle of the grill on low heat to cook it quickly.
- Moved the sausage + bacon over into the potato and onion mixture and pour the egg mixture onto the other side of the griddle with some butter.
- I “scramble” the eggs with one of the spatulas to make sure they’re evenly cooked. The scrambled eggs are done in no time.
- When your eggs are about done, mix them into the potatoes and meat mixture.
- When meat, egg, and potatoes are well-mixed, add cheese and turn off the griddle. cover the mixture with the melting lid until the cheese is melted.
- Hash browns on Blackstone griddle are ready to serve and enjoy!
Note:
Hash browns are delicious, but they’re best cooked on high. If you’re cooking them in the winter, you can create an air-tight dome with a stainless steel lid to help them cook faster.

Tips for the Best Hash Browns On Blackstone
1- The Right Potatoes: Use starchy or all-purpose potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold. They have the perfect texture and flavor for hash browns.
2- Grating Matters: Grate your potatoes coarsely for that perfect mix of crispy and tender.
3- Remove Excess Moisture: After grating, squeeze the excess moisture out of the potatoes with a kitchen towel. This step is crucial for achieving the desired crispiness.
4- Preheat and Oil: Ensure your Blackstone griddle is well preheated. A medium-high heat setting works well. Add a generous amount of oil for that satisfying crunch.
Variations and Additions
1- Cheesy Hash Browns: Sprinkle your hash browns with your favorite cheese for an extra layer of flavor. Cheddar, parmesan, or pepper jack work well.
2- Herb-Infused: Add a dash of freshness by mixing chopped herbs like chives or parsley into the grated potatoes.
3- Spicy Twist: If you like a bit of heat, add some paprika, cayenne pepper, or chili flakes to your hash browns for a kick of flavor.
4- Onion Lovers: Sautéed onions can add a rich and sweet flavor to your hash browns. You can mix them into the potatoes before cooking.
Storage and Freezing
Refrigeration: If you have leftover hash browns, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat them on your Blackstone griddle for that crispy texture.
Freezing: You can freeze cooked hash browns. Lay them on a baking sheet, freeze them until firm, and then transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag. They’ll stay good for about 2-3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, reheat them directly on the griddle from frozen.
Make-Ahead Hash Browns: If you want to prepare hash browns ahead of time, you can par-cook them on the griddle, then cool and freeze. Finish cooking when needed for a quick and convenient breakfast.
