These mouthwatering Golden Breakfast Hash Browns are crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. Using a microwave to pre-cook the potatoes shortens the overall cooking time, delivering delicious results in no time!
Rinse the russet potatoes under cold water, scrubbing gently to remove any dirt, then drain them.

Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl.
3
Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or an appropriately-sized plate.

Microwave the potatoes for 5 minutes on high power.

Check the potatoes; they should be starting to soften but not so soft that they will fall apart in the skillet. Let them slightly cool and slice them into bite-sized pieces.

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the avocado oil and unsalted butter.
7
Once the butter has melted, add the potato pieces and sprinkle evenly with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and smoked paprika.

Cook without stirring for 4 minutes, allowing the potatoes to develop a golden crust.

Turn the potatoes and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for an additional 6-8 minutes or until fully browned and crispy.
