Potato-free Paleo Hash Browns

Kevin said he would pay $20 for a small plate of these hash browns.

In response, I stuck out my hand and said, “Pay up!”

He didn’t appreciate that very much. But in all fairness, all signs pointed to my response being the best (logical) response to Kevin’s statement. Don’t you think?

But really – I would pay $20 for these hash browns too… if I didn’t know how to make them myself. Luckily for you and me? I know how to make them and I’m sharing the recipe with you right this very moment.

I found this turkey bacon at our local health food store. It looked intriguing so I gave it a shot. It worked really well, over all.

If you use regular pork bacon, I would omit the coconut oil from this recipe. No need when you have all the delicious bacon grease to cook everything in!

Meanwhile, you can cut up your jicama! Jicama is such a beautiful thing. You MUST try it.

The “secret sauce” to these hash browns is in the seasoning mix. This stuff is outrageously good and goes well on just about anything.

A delicious homemade seasoning mix. Perfect for a batch of hash browns, baked potatoes or roasted veggies.
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
  • ½ teaspoon dried ground sage
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
Instructions
  1. Add all ingredients to a small mason jar. Cover, shake to mix, and store for up to 1 year.
Notes
I am sensitive to nightshades but have been okay with cayenne and paprika. However, if you cannot have these...

To make nightshade free: omit paprika and cayenne completely from this recipe... it's still really great without it!

And, if bacon and eggs just ‘aint your thing, no worries. You could make these hash browns without the bacon, maybe add a couple of drops of liquid smoke and serve them alongside some sauteed broccoli or asparagus with a bit of shaved almonds over top.

Either way sounds mighty fine to me!
