It’s relatively quick and easy to cook hash browns on the stove. First, heat the skillet over medium heat and add your fat of choice (ghee, butter, or olive oil work great). Once the pan is hot, add the hash browns in an even layer (be careful as you add them so they don’t spatter). Let them cook on one side for 5-6 minutes, then flip and continue cooking the other side an additional 3-4 minutes until crisp and cooked through.
