What Kind of Hash Browns Should I Use?

For this recipe, you can use either frozen shredded hash browns or fresh potatoes that you grate yourself.

Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from fresh potatoes to keep them crispy when cooked.

Ingredients for the Avocado Hash Brown Toast with a Spicy Kick

Hash Browns – These form the crispy base of the toast. You’ll want golden, crunchy hash browns that hold up well to the creamy toppings.

Avocado – Ripe and creamy, avocado is the star of the show. It provides a buttery texture and fresh flavor that balances the spice beautifully.

Lime – A squeeze of lime adds brightness and keeps the avocado from browning too quickly.

Red Pepper Flakes – For the spicy kick that makes this recipe stand out. You can adjust the amount to suit your heat preference.

Salt & Pepper – To season the avocado mash and bring all the flavors to life.

Olive Oil – Just a touch helps the hash browns cook evenly and achieve that golden crisp.

Fresh Herbs (optional) – Chopped cilantro or chives make a lovely garnish and add a fresh note.

How To Make the Avocado Hash Brown Toast with a Spicy Kick

Step 1: Cook the Hash Browns

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the hash browns until golden and crispy on both sides, about 3–4 minutes per side. Transfer them to a paper towel–lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 2: Mash the Avocado

In a bowl, scoop out the ripe avocado flesh and mash it with a fork. Squeeze in lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until creamy but still slightly chunky.

Step 3: Assemble the Toast

Spread the mashed avocado generously over the warm hash browns.

Step 4: Add the Spice

Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the avocado to your desired level of heat.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Top with fresh herbs if using. Serve immediately while the hash browns are still crispy and warm.

Serving and Storing Your Avocado Hash Brown Toast with a Spicy Kick

This recipe serves two generous portions, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch. Serve it immediately after preparing so the hash browns stay crisp and the avocado fresh. If you need to store leftovers, keep the mashed avocado in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on top to prevent browning. The hash browns can be kept in the refrigerator and reheated in a hot skillet or toaster oven, though they’re best fresh.
