Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen hashbrowns
  • 1 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh basil or oregano, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Hashbrowns: Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add frozen hashbrowns in an even layer and cook without stirring too much, allowing the bottom to crisp and turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Layer Toppings: Carefully flip the hashbrowns once the bottom is crispy. Immediately scatter pepperoni slices evenly across the surface, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top while the skillet is still warm.
  3. Melt Cheese and Cook Through: Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for about 3-5 minutes. This warms the pepperoni and allows its oils to infuse into the hashbrowns.
  4. Drizzle Hot Honey: Remove the lid, and while the dish is still hot, drizzle hot honey generously over the hashbrowns. The combination of sweet and spicy complements the crispy potatoes and pepperoni perfectly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped basil or oregano and add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately to enjoy maximum crispness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use freshly frozen hashbrowns without fully thawing to maintain crispiness during frying.
  • Use tongs or a spatula gently when flipping to prevent hashbrowns from falling apart.
  • If you don’t have premade hot honey, mix honey with a dash of cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes and gently warm for at least 10 minutes.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the hashbrowns before the cheese melts.
  • Season with salt lightly after cooking to prevent drawing out moisture during frying.
