Healthy McDonald’s Hashbrowns

dairy free / gluten free

want to know one of my favorite breakfast items of all time? two words: mcdonalds. hashbrowns.

it was only fitting I eventually try and recreate them, but make them just a taddddd healthier. these came out really great and totally satisfied my craving (and my hungover cravings for these things are wild.) they are only a few ingredients and were way easier to make than I expected.

these are whole 30 approved, because I’m using arrowroot power instead of flour. they are also dairy free, grain free, and vegetarian.
