Can I use different vegetables in these loaded hash browns?

While this recipe uses red pepper and onions, you could experiment with finely diced zucchini or grated carrots, keeping the total moisture content in mind.

What kind of potatoes are best for shredding?

Medium starchy potatoes like Russets are ideal for shredding to create a good hash brown texture, though Yukon Golds also work well.

How many hash brown waffles does this recipe yield?

This recipe typically yields about 6 hash brown waffles, depending on the size of your waffle iron wells.

How should I store leftover Loaded Hash Browns?

Store any leftover cooked hash brown waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat them in a toaster oven or air fryer for crispiness.

How to Prepare Loaded Hash Browns [Vegan]

Combine shredded potatoes, diced red pepper, green and red onions, shredded vegan cheese (if using), and all seasonings in a medium bowl and using your fingers, toss and mix to combine.
In a preheated and well-greased waffle iron, add a 1/2 cup potato mixture to each waffle "well" (this may vary depending on your waffle iron – adjust according to your waffle maker). Close the cover and cook for about 5 minutes.
Carefully lift each cooked hash brown waffle from the waffle well and transfer to a sheet pan. Keep warm in a 170°F oven.
Repeat (re-greasing wells each time) until all potato mixture is used. You should have about 6 hash brown waffles.
Serve with your toppings of choice.
