Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 cups frozen or fresh grated potatoes (pressed dry if fresh)

Vegetables

  • 2 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
  • 1 medium onion, diced

Dairy & Fats

  • 1/4 cup Irish cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional

  • Fresh herbs like chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Shred the cabbage thinly and dice the onion. If using fresh potatoes, grate them and press out excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel to ensure extra crispiness.
  2. Cook the Hash Browns: Heat butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the hash browns in an even layer and cook without stirring for 5–7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crisp.
  3. Sauté Onion and Cabbage: Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the shredded cabbage and cook until tender, another 5 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go.
  4. Combine and Add Cheese: Mix the hash browns back with the cabbage and onions in the skillet. Sprinkle the shredded Irish cheddar evenly over the top and cover with a lid to let the cheese melt, approximately 2–3 minutes.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the cheese is melted and gooey, remove from heat and garnish if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the perfect balance of crisp potatoes, tender cabbage, and rich, melted cheese.

Notes

  • Use a nonstick skillet to prevent sticking and achieve a perfect crispy crust on the hash browns.
  • Press potatoes dry to remove moisture and ensure crispiness rather than steaming.
  • Cook the cabbage gently on low heat to keep it tender without burning.
  • Cover the skillet after adding cheese to melt it evenly and keep it creamy.
  • Grate your own Irish cheddar for better melting and richer flavor compared to pre-shredded cheese.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan to allow heat circulation for even cooking and crispy texture.
