Cheezy Hash Browns

These cheezy hash browns are so simple and delicious!

We usually turn to this recipe on the weekend and serve the hash browns alongside fried vegetables, sautéed spinach and some homemade ketchup.

You can find flax seeds at most health food stores and it’s a great substitute for eggs. We use the seeds in this recipe to create a flax egg, which helps bind all the ingredients together.

The vegan cheese we use is similar to cheddar cheese, so it’s not too overpowering.

We hope you enjoy!

Servings: 10 hash browns Ingredients 800 g potatoes (peeled) 2 carrots (grated) 1 onion (finely chopped) 3 garlic cloves (minced) handful of fresh parsley (finely chopped) 100 g vegan cheese (grated) 1 tbsp flax seeds 1 tbsp chickpea flour 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Make a flax egg by combining the flax seeds with 2 tbsp of water in a small bowl and leave to one side so the mixture thickens.
3. Meanwhile, grate the potatoes, then use a tea towel to remove as much moisture as possible by folding the towel around the grated potato and squeezing the excess water into a bowl.
4. Add the potato to a mixing bowl, along with the carrot, onion, garlic, parsley, cheese, flax egg, chickpea flour, salt and pepper.
5. Use a wooden spoon to combine all the ingredients together. Then take a small handful of the mixture and place it on a tray lined with baking paper. Shape the mixture into a small rectangle roughly one cm thick, then repeat until all of the mixture is used up.
6. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes or until the hash browns become golden brown.
7. Serve and enjoy!
