- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Peel and grate the potatoes. Squeeze out excess moisture and season with salt and pepper.

how to serve Crispy Hashbrown Avocado Toast
Serve Crispy Hashbrown Avocado Toast hot from the skillet. You can add more toppings like poached eggs, sliced tomatoes, or cheese if you like. Enjoy it with a cup of coffee or tea for a complete meal.
how to store Crispy Hashbrown Avocado Toast
If you have leftovers, store the hashbrowns and avocado separately. Place the hashbrowns in an airtight container in the fridge. They can remain good for 1-2 days. The avocado mash can also be stored in an airtight container but may turn brown. To prevent this, add extra lemon juice and cover it. It’s best to eat them fresh when possible, for the best flavor and texture.
