Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

You can use diced hashbrown potatoes, but they’ll take longer to cook and won’t get quite as brown.
No Montreal smoked meat? Make this hash with pastrami instead. It has a similar flavor.
Use the biggest skillet you have so that the potatoes get nice and crisp.
Switch up the cheese - use whatever you have on hand!
