Receta Fully-Loaded Hash Browns
To celebrate my love of potatoes & Disney movies, as part of a sponsored post for Collective Bias, I made Fully-Loaded Hash Browns with Ore-Ida Shredded Hash Brown Potatoes #OreIdaHashbrn
One of the most fun things about being a Momma is using my creativity to get my kiddos trying new foods. It can certainly be a challenge but it is definitely rewarding when they are licking their plates clean. {true story} We were recently at Walmart when my son saw bags of Ore-Ida Hash Browns that had Olaf from the new Disney movie, Frozen, on them. {I swear my kiddos have Disney radar...}
If we are anything, it is a family that loves movies {especially Disney}. So I grabbed a bag of the Shredded Hash Brown Potatoes and got straight to thinking about a recipe that my whole family would love. My kiddos would eat the entire bag of hash browns as is, no need to do something special - but I wanted something special. Something we could sit down together, as a family, and snack on while watching a movie.
My husband and I LOVE Fully-Loaded Baked Potatoes and my kids love, well, cookies. So, how about cookie-shaped Fully-Loaded Hashbrowns? Sounded perfect to me - I grabbed the ingredients and got to work!
Only 5 ingredients are needed to whip up these Fully-Loaded Hash Browns: Ore-Ida Shredded Hash Browns, cheese, bacon {of course!}, chives and egg whites. Gotta love a short shopping list!
I used a Whoopie Pie pan to shape the Fully-Loaded Hash Browns {can be found in Walmart's baking department}. The hash browns can also be made on a baking sheet, they just need to be shaped by hand and baking time may vary based on size of hash browns.
The Fully-Loaded Hash Browns were exquisite! They truly have the flavors of a fully-loaded baked potato, especially when dipped in sour cream. We got comfy on the couch, set up tv trays and snacked on these delicious hash browns while watching Disney's holiday TV feature from last year, Prep & Landing: Naughty vs. Nice. Not only were these hash browns the perfect movie snack but they were a cinch to make - definitely going to be a repeat in our {crazy} house!
