Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large pot. Cover the potatoes with cold water and season with 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes.
• Make the sausage filling: Add the onion to a large skillet over medium heat and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
• Add the peppers and cook until slightly tender, about 6 minutes.
• Add the garlic and sausage. Cook until the sausage is browned, about 4 minutes.
• Season with the paprika, cayenne, pepper, thyme, and salt and cook for another 5 minutes until seasoning is evenly distributed. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Make the egg filling: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then sauté the spinach until fully wilted, about 5 minutes.
• Add the eggs and scramble until cooked, about 3 minutes.
• Add the bacon, pepper, and salt and mix to incorporate. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Transfer the potatoes to a colander and run under cold water to cool. Pat dry.
• Using the large holes on a cheese grater, shred the potatoes into a large bowl.
• Add the flour, Parmesan, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Mix together thoroughly.
• Transfer half of the hash brown mixture to a greased 13" x 18" (33 cm x 45 cm) baking sheet and spread evenly with a spatula.
• On the left side of the tray, spoon the egg filling into 4 evenly spaced piles. On the right side of the tray, spoon the sausage filling into 4 evenly spaced piles. Top each pile of egg filling with a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese.
• Top the piles of filling with the remaining hash brown mixture and use a spatula to carefully press down the hash browns, sealing the filling inside. Use the tip of the spatula to delineate between each pocket of filling.
• Freeze for at least 2 hours.
• In a large pot, heat oil until it reaches 380˚F (195˚C).
• Remove the hash browns from the freezer and use a sharp knife to cut and separate each pocket.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss potatoes with onion, salt and pepper. In a small cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup potato mixture, pressing down to flatten with spatula. Cook, without stirring, until bottom is golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil; flip. Cook until bottom is golden brown, 4-5 minutes, sprinkling with 2 tablespoons cheese and 2 tablespoons bacon during the last minute of cooking. , Fold hash browns in half; slide onto plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Top with sour cream and green onions.

Steps:

• Take your hash browns out of the freezer to allow them to begin to thaw.
• In an eight-inch nonstick pan, melt one Tbsp. of butter on medium heat and add onions, occasionally stirring. Allow to cook until they have softened and begin to brown. Add the peppers, stir, and salt to taste. Cook until they begin to soften.
• Add the spinach and allow it to wilt for a couple of minutes. Transfer this filling to a bowl.
• Put your pan back on the heat and add one Tbsp. of butter, melting on medium heat. Add your hash browns and season with salt and pepper to taste, stirring until the butter and seasoning are evenly distributed.
• Arrange the potatoes in a flat even layer. Sprinkle cheese evenly on top and allow it to melt. Then, sprinkle the filling evenly on top. When the bottom of the hash browns has crisped up and browned, your hash brown omelette is ready.
• Shake the pan to make sure it's not sticking to the bottom, then bring it over to your plate and carefully tilt the pan, using the edge to help fold it over in half.
• Add your favorite toppings and enjoy! (We used chopped scallions and a chipotle sour cream.)
• For the chipotle sour cream:
• Combine ½ (115 G) cup sour cream or crema, one Tbsp. chipotle in adobo (finely chopped), a pinch of salt, and a splash of water to thin it out.

Steps:

• Fill a large, deep pan halfway with canola oil and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C).
• In a large bowl, combine the hash browns, eggs, salt, pepper, paprika, and flour. Mix well.
• Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the hash brown mixture onto a clean surface and shape into a rectangle.
• Place two slices of cheddar cheese in the center, then top with another tablespoon of the hash brown mixture and shape into a rectangle, sealing the cheese inside. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture and cheese.
• Use a large spatula to transfer 2 hash browns at a time to the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and season with more salt.
• Serve immediately with ketchup for dipping, or let cool completely, wrap in foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, unwrap and bake in a 400°F (200°C) oven for about 20 minutes, flipping once, until warmed through and golden brown.
