Bojangles Hash Browns Recipe

A pile of crispy, well-seasoned hash browns fresh from the pan? That’s how breakfast should start!
Getting them just right means handling the potatoes properly—too much moisture, and they’ll steam instead of crisp up.
I shred mine, soak them in cold water to rinse off excess starch, and then press them dry before adding the seasoning.
Smoked paprika and garlic powder bring in the deep, savory notes that set these apart.
Let them cook undisturbed until you see deep browning at the edges—flipping too early will ruin the texture.
A final sprinkle of salt right when they come out of the pan makes all the difference.
