You can use a variety of hash brown potatoes in this recipe, depending what you have on hand.
Diced Hash Browns: You will have more of a true potato flavor with the diced version. You could also use seasoned hash browns for added flavor.
Shredded Hash Browns: I like these the best as they get nice and crispy.
Hash Brown Patties: If you are using hash brown patties, I would break them apart and crumble them up in the frying pan while they are frying.
