Habanero Hash Browns

Hash browns are, of course, breakfast food. But let’s be honest – they are crave-worthy all day long. That’s only amplified by the extra-hot spiciness of these habanero hash browns. As a snack, serve them with a savory and creamy dipping sauce, like a garlic yogurt dip, to help cool your mouth.

Now, they aren’t for everyone. The heat is potent as we’re using fresh habanero here (100,000 to 350,000 Scoville heat units.) But if you’re game, they are delicious with bacon, sausage, beans, or a simple salad. And, of course, the recipe works with a less fiery pepper, too. Jalapeño (2,500 to 8,000 SHU) works well here. I prefer red jalapeños as they have a sweetness to them that works well with fried potatoes.

These bad boys will go soggy if you leave them too long, so eat them straight away.
