Idaho hash brown potatoes form a crisp, crunchy packet for tomatoes, corn and queso fresco. A fried egg and dollop of chimichurri complete the dish. This summery mix can morph into heartier combinations, such as grilled steak, pepper, onions and provolone.
INGREDIENTS
- 6 pounds frozen Idaho® hash brown potatoes
- Butter for hash browns
