Loaded Hash Browns

These week, at some point, I plan on making breakfast for dinner and this recipe will be perfect! I will be making these hash browns and either pancakes or waffles! Added bonus, if I don't want the Loaded Potato flavor, I can substitute any dip mix in this recipe. What mix would you choose? Also instead of "regular" hash browns (the shredded kind) I am going to use my favorite, the cubed kind!

With Thanksgiving being tomorrow its too late to have a delicious mix on hand, but don't be discouraged. There is still plenty of time to order for Christmas!
