Aren’t hash browns the best brunch item ever? Warm, crunchy and just perfect with eggs and avo. I have to say, you should definitely switch your avo on toast or eggs on toast with hash brown anything.
As autumn suddenly arrived (when did summer end, exactly?) I started craving pumpkin everything. I really can’t help it, I love pumpkin prepared in any possible way. And, as autumn calls for pumpkin, brunch calls for hash browns. This is the result of the combination of the two. Now, I am aware hash browns are usually fried, but believe me when I say this baked version is as good as the traditional fried fritters. Be careful with the potatoes you choose better choose starchy potatoes, like Russel, and you’ll get an amazing, healthy, tasty brunch in no time.

I do have a scientific mind, probably it’s the reason why I love to hide in the kitchen and start creating.
