Easy Peasy Hash Browns and Easy Peasy Low Carb Hash Browns

It's a 2'fer!

I like 2 for 1's.  =)

This is a great side dish for many main courses like burgers, ham, and even breakfast! It's also an easy way to use up any leftover baked potatoes.

The low carb version uses butternut squash chunks.  This is not an original idea as many low carb diets make versions of this and season them with McCormick seasoning packets.  I control the sodium, seasoning them myself.

Thanks to the world of crash diets and grocery chains wanting to capitalize on that... you can now buy butternut squash already chunked in the fresh produce and also the frozen food section!  I LOVE that!  I'm not strong enough and I don't have good enough knives to cut a butternut myself.  PLUS, they are not easy to find!
