FAQs

Can I use fresh potatoes instead of frozen hash browns?

Yes, you can grate fresh potatoes and dry them well before cooking to make your own hash browns. This will give a fresher flavor but may require extra care to achieve crispiness.

Is there a dairy-free option for this recipe?

You can replace the cottage cheese with a dairy-free alternative like vegan ricotta or plain plant-based yogurt. Just keep in mind it will alter the flavor slightly.
