Creamy Garlic & Rosemary Hash Ingredients

Before you go running to the store, let me give you the inside scoop on the key ingredients:

Dried Hashbrown Potatoes

Native to: United States (russet potatoes) 

Top 3 nutrients: carbohydrates, potassium, vitamin C

Dried hashbrown potatoes – such as Golden Grill hashbrowns – are the best because they can be prepared quickly by simply adding hot water. If you can’t get your hands on these, instant mashed potatoes would be the best alternative for a backcountry friendly meal. 

Whole Milk Powder

Native to: world-wide (domesticated)*

Top 3 nutrients: protein, calcium, vitamin D

I prefer using whole milk powder because of it’s flavour and nutrients, but skim milk powder would also work. 

Grated Parmesan Cheese

Top nutrients: calcium, protein, vitamin B12

For optimal shelf life, it’s best to use grated Parmesan cheese, such as the classic shaker variety we all know. This type has a low moisture content, making it shelf-stable for extended periods. While freshly grated Parmesan can be used, its shelf life may be shorter.

No matter which cheese you choose, if you’re prepping for a backcountry adventure, you may want to store it in the fridge or freezer until your trip to maintain freshness.

 

Dried Rosemary

Native to: Mediterranean

Top 3 nutrients: antioxidants, vitamin C, iron

I have nothing specific shopping wise for this ingredient… so how about a cool fact? 

Rosemary is packed with antioxidants, which help fight free radicals in the body. It’s also known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

Garlic Powder

Native to: Central Asia

Top 3 nutrients: allicin, vitamin C, manganese

I recommend using garlic powder, not garlic salt. Garlic powder is made from dehydrated garlic that’s finely ground, providing pure garlic flavor. Since the other ingredients in this recipe already contribute enough sodium, adding garlic salt could make the dish too salty.

Black Pepper

Native to: Southwest India

Top nutrients: manganese, vitamin K

Like my dad says : “I’m not saying I put black pepper on everything, but if it doesn’t have black pepper, I’m probably not eating it.”

Storage Instructions

Here are some tips to help you maximize the shelf life of your Creamy Garlic & Rosemary Hash:

  • Keep stored in a sealable container or bag
  • Vacuum sealing can extend the shelf life by up to three times its normal duration! This is useful if you’re prepping lots for longer term use. 
  • Store in a cool, dry and dark place. For longer term storage, it’s recommended to keep stored in the freezer (especially if not vacuum sealed).

When you take these measures, your potatoes can last for several months, up to a few years!

Preparing Cheesy Vegetable Breakfast Potatoes is quick and easy!

Per serving:
  1. Add 3/4 cup boiling water 
  2. Stir
  3. Let sit for 15 minutes

Cooking Tips:

  • Use a container with a lid to contain as much heat as possible… Have a packable insulated container? Even better
  • After cooking time is finished, add a few splashes of hot water and let soak for a few more minutes if you find the meal dry or crunchy
