Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh potatoes instead of frozen hash browns?
Yes. Dice fresh potatoes into small cubes and cook slightly longer until tender and crispy.
What oil works best on a Blackstone griddle?
Vegetable oil, avocado oil, and canola oil all work very well because they have high smoke points.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes. You can pre-cook the sausage and vegetables ahead of time to speed up breakfast preparation.
How do I keep eggs from sticking?
A properly seasoned Blackstone griddle and a small amount of oil or butter help prevent sticking.
Can I add bacon to this recipe?
Absolutely. Bacon works wonderfully and adds extra flavor to the breakfast hash.
