Hello fellow Hash Brown lovers! My name is Molly DeHahn, and I am a Research and Development Technologist for Dunkin’ Brands. I write to you from the Dunkin’ Donuts Test Kitchen, where I cook up creative recipes for our guests. As a proud Hash Brown enthusiast, I knew that I wanted to find an extra tasty way to celebrate National Tater Day on March 31. In honor of this spud-tacular holiday, I am kicking off a four-part recipe series (exclusively for the Dunkin’ Donuts Blog) on Hash Brown appetizers.
These miniature open-faced sandwiches make a delightful party appetizer. I am always getting appetizer inspiration from browsing Pinterest. I love dreaming up new ways to combine classic ingredients!
The Dunkin’ Donuts Hash Brown makes the perfect foundation for this two-bite appetizer recipe. One of my favorite professional chefs, Susan Gross from West Town Tavern in Chicago, once referred to hash browns as the “culinary little black dress.” The top-secret blend of herbs and spices in Dunkin’ Donuts Hash Browns serves as a delicious complement to a variety of food flavors.
I am introducing the Classic Nacho Two-Bite Appetizer as the first official recipe of the Hash Brown series. This tiny treat is sure to spice up any fiesta!
Ingredients:
- 1 order DD Hash Browns (9 pieces)
- 3 cheddar cheese slices
- ½ avocado mashed or pureed
- 9 jalapeño slices
- 4 cherry tomatoes sliced
- 9 olive slices
- sour cream
Instructions:
1. Purchase one order of Hash Browns from Dunkin’ Donuts. You can easily re-crisp the Hash Browns at home by popping them in the oven.
2. Use a plastic piping bag to swirl pureed avocado onto the Hash Browns.
3. Build your nacho: layer Hash Browns with one sliced cherry tomato each, followed by a cheddar cheese slice, a jalapeño, and an olive.
4. Finish the hashbrowns with a swirl of sour cream.
5. Arrange on a party-ready plate and enjoy!
While many guests order Dunkin’ Donuts Hash Browns as a side to their favorite bakery sandwich, I am always excited to give Hash Browns their own spotlight!
