Butternut Hashbrowns



This may sound a bit weird but give it a try before you count it out. Butternut squash actually make a pretty good substitute for potatoes. I have tried fries before with this squash and they are excellent, check out that post here. Sometimes I wonder not if but how my tastes have changed after almost an entire year of no grains or potatoes. In the end it really doesn't matter, I make food I love and I feel great!

Butternut Hashbrowns

Ingredients:
1/2 butternut squash, peeled and shredded, about 3 cups
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c.Coconut oil or butter for frying

Method:
1. Combine shredded squash, eggs, and salt in a medium sized bowl. Mix with your hands until thoroughly combined.
2. Heat oil or butter in a small frying pan, add mixture 1/4 c. at a time, spreading until even.
3. Fry until edges begin to brown then flip over. Continue cooking until evenly browned on all sides.
4. Continue until all batter is used up, you may have to add more oil or butter to the pan.
5. Serve immediately.
