Plantain Hash Browns | Seed Oil Free Breakfast
Description:
Whether you ate them growing up with your favorite fast food breakfast or loaded with chili and onions at your favorite greasy spoon, hashbrowns are a loved southern favorite!
Plantains are a fruit that gets sweeter as they ripen, and the peel turns black like a banana. However, if you use them while they are still yellow, they have a starchy texture and can play the role of a potato in your favorite recipes!
Enjoy these next time you make breakfast or a fast launch!
Ingredients:
Plantains (One Plantain makes two hash browns)
Butter or oil of choice (Plaintians tend to soak up whatever flavor you cook them in, so I love using salted butter or beef tallow to achieve the traditional savory hashbrown taste. If you use something neutral tasting, the fruit taste may come through too strong)
Salt and pepper
Steps:
1 - Cut the plantain(s) in half
2 - Shred each half with a cheese grater and form into a hashbrown shape (I have also cubed them, and that works too if you like chunky hashbrowns)
3 - Heat butter or oil of choice in a pan over medium-high heat
4 - Add plantain hashbrowns into the pan and cook for roughly 3 minutes a side, depending on the desired texture (Go longer for crunchier)
5 - Season with salt and pepper and enjoy!
Optional Serving Ideas:
Serve with your favorite morning eggs and meat combo!
