Ingredients
- 2 frozen hash brown patties
- 1/2 cup plain cottage cheese
- 1 garlic clove, sliced in half
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup arugula or microgreens
- 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon grated parmesan cheese (optional)
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare Hash Browns
Preheat the oven or set your air fryer to 450°F (232°C).
Place the frozen hash brown patties in a single layer on a nonstick baking tray or on a foil-lined tray lightly sprayed with cooking oil.
Step 2: Bake Hash Browns
Bake the hash brown patties for 7 minutes, then flip them over and continue baking for an additional 7-8 minutes, or until they are golden brown and reach your desired level of doneness.
Step 3: Prepare Cottage Cheese Topping
While the hash browns are baking, combine the cottage cheese, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Strain any excess liquid from the cottage cheese before adding to the mixture.
Step 4: Toss Microgreens
In a separate bowl, toss the microgreens with the lemon juice.
This will add a fresh and tangy flavor to the microgreens.
Step 5: Finish Hash Browns and Assemble
Once the hash brown patties are crispy, rub the cut side of a raw garlic clove sparingly on the surface of the hash browns to impart flavor.
Top the hash brown patties with the seasoned cottage cheese mixture and the dressed microgreens.
Step 6: Final Touches and Serve
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with crushed red chili flakes.
Optionally, grate some parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor.
Enjoy your delicious and savory dish!
