These Anti-Inflammatory Cheesy Garlic Loaded Hashbrowns have a crispy and cheesy texture. We prepare these golden hashbrowns with shredded russet potatoes, extra virgin olive oil, fresh garlic, turmeric powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, sea salt, chili flakes, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, Greek yogurt, fresh parsley, green onions, and a splash of lemon juice. These golden hash browns contain approximately 320 calories. We cook golden hashbrowns in just 25 minutes. These Anti-Inflammatory Cheesy Garlic Loaded Hashbrowns are ideal for breakfast platters, weekend brunch menus, cozy comfort-food dinners, post-workout meals, and family-style side dishes. Refrigerate leftovers for only 3 days and reheat them in a skillet to restore crispiness, while freezing is best done without the cheese topping to preserve texture. You can serve these loaded hashbrowns with poached eggs, avocado slices, grilled chicken breast, garlic sautéed spinach, or a fresh herb yogurt dip for a complete and balanced meal.

INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR SUBSTITUTIONS:
POTATOES:
- Potatoes must be used since they will provide the dish a crunchy texture and a substantial foundation. As a replacement, you can use sweet potatoes for a lower glycemic option with more antioxidants.
OLIVE OIL:
- Use olive oil, which will give heart-healthy fats and anti-inflammatory benefits during cooking. As a further choice, use coconut oil.
GARLIC:
- We use garlic to deliver a strong aromatic flavor along with anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. As another option, you might use garlic powder.
TURMERIC:
- Utilize turmeric to provide color, warmth, and powerful anti-inflammatory benefits. We can switch it out with a curry powder blend.
CHEESE:
- We use cheese to add creaminess, richness, and protein content. As another option, use non-dairy cheese or nutritional yeast.
GREEK YOGURT:
- Greek yogurt is utilized to give probiotic properties and creamy smoothness. Cashew cream or coconut yogurt could be utilized as another choice.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- We peel and shred the potatoes with a grater.
- Put them in a neat towel & squeeze out all additional water content.
- Stir the shredded potatoes with chili flakes, salt, paprika, pepper, and turmeric in a dish.
- In a pan, carefully warm the olive oil.
- Gently cook the minced garlic till it becomes aromatic, for almost forty seconds.
- Equally distribute the potatoes in a skillet.
- Gently blend them till brown, and cook for almost eight minutes.
- Change the sides all at once.
