French Fry Hash Browns


So what could be any unhealthier than hash browns made with leftover French fries? The ones I ate the night before with a cheeseburger from Five Guys. Yes, I was bad last night. On my way home from work, I realized that I hadn't taken anything out for dinner. Plus it's only me at home this week since Jim is already in Malaysia and I hate cooking for just myself. And there just so happens to be a Five Guys on my way home from work. Seemed like it was meant to be.

Sophie and I decadently dined on a small cheeseburger and fries and as anyone who's been to Five Guys knows, you always get a ton of fries, even with a small order. There was no way I could eat all of them, even with Sophie's help.

I was about to throw the leftover fries in the garbage last night when I had an idea to make hash browns with them for breakfast this morning. So I bagged them up and tossed them in the fridge.

This morning I put them on a cutting board and diced them up and added some salt and dried onion flakes. Once the skillet was hot I added the mix and let it brown up a little then stirred them around and in about 10 minutes I had hot French fry hash browns. They were delicious! And the best part is that I only used half of what was left over so I get to have them again tomorrow. Yum!

    Five Guy Delivery last night left WAY TOO MANY fries leftover! I came accross this and ran to the fridge and cut up some onions-green and red peppers were already done from a previous meal and I'm frying them up now. Still got more fries! Will use them tomorrow for breakfast! Thanks!
