I’m a huge fan of breakfast especially on a Saturday morning when things move a little slower at my house. That’s the perfect time to breakout the Blackstone griddle and make Loaded Hashbrowns!

Loaded Hashbrowns are the ultimate comfort food, combining all the best elements of breakfast in one skillet. You get the crunchy, golden texture of perfectly cooked hashbrowns, combined with the rich, melty goodness of cheddar cheese and the smoky, salty flavor of ham.

We used to be able to get these hashbrowns at a local restaurant but for some reason they changed their menu so we decided to try making them at home.

If you’ve ever cooked on a Blackstone griddle, you know it’s an incredible tool for achieving perfectly crispy hashbrowns. The flat, even surface distributes heat consistently, ensuring every bite is perfectly browned.

Cooking on the Blackstone griddle also gives you the flexibility to prepare multiple components of the dish simultaneously. You can cook your ham, sauté onions and peppers, and grill your hashbrowns all at once, making the cooking process faster and more efficient.

Plus, there’s something incredibly satisfying about cooking breakfast outdoors on a griddle—it’s the perfect way to enjoy a beautiful morning!

Whether you’re looking for a hearty breakfast, a comforting brunch dish, or a fun weekend treat, loaded hashbrowns are the way to go. They’re simple to make, packed with flavor, and always a hit.

How to make Loaded Hashbrowns

Spread 1-2 tablespoons of butter or oil onto the griddle.

Place the hashbrowns in a thin layer over the buttered area. Press them down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking. Season with salt and pepper.

Let the hashbrowns cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and crispy.

Flip them over with a large spatula and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes, or until both sides are crispy and browned.

Add another1-2 tablespoons of butter to the cooking surface. Spread it around with a spatula to ensure even coverage.

Place the diced peppers, ham, and onions onto the griddle. Spread them out in a single layer and let them cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften and develop a bit of color.

Mix the hashbrowns with the veggies and ham, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hashbrowns.
