One Pot Fiesta Hash Browns

June 10, 2018 by Jess MillionMoments

This easy one pot fiesta hash brown skillet is perfect for your next dinner, and it takes under 30 minutes to make!

These days I feel like I don’t even have the time to breathe, let alone spend a few hours making dinner (and washing the dishes that come with it). One pot meals have become a staple in my house, and I love coming up with fresh new dinner recipes that are low on mess but high on flavor. Shaving off time with quick fixes and simple meals is a must for my own sanity, and out of that need comes this amazing Fiesta Hash Brown Skillet. Yum!

I am a sucker for anything Mexican flavored, and I love adding salsa or taco seasoning to jus about anything and turning it into a Southwestern dream! For this recipe, I wanted to keep it simple so I kicked up the flavor by using salsa and a few tablespoons of chopped green chilies. Yes, you can go crazy with seasonings and flavor add-ins, but a little salsa is really all you need to kick up the flavor! For my add-ins, I stuck with my normal bell peppers, onions, and corn, and they added a nice sweetness to my dish that balanced it all out.

I don’t normally use hash browns in anything but breakfast, but since I was feeling creative with this recipe, I decided to try and make a dinner with them. Guess what? It was a great idea! With this being an easy meal, there was no way I was peeling and shredding potatoes myself, so I grabbed a bag of shredded potatoes in the freezer section and cut out a whole 15 minutes of work.

I love everything about this meal, and my favorite part is that it is so easily customizable. You can add sausage, ground beef, chicken, different vegetables, toppings, and so much more! I made a version with meatless crumbles and a green salsa last week, and it was amazing. This recipe makes enough for 2 people, but you can easily double it for a family meal. It is good enough to eat without toppings, but I like to put on a little cilantro, jalapeños, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Here is a full recipe video, and below is a printable version plus a giveaway for some free products. Happy making!
