This hash brown avocado toast is a crispy handheld breakfast flavor bomb that is perfect for at home or at camp. Crispy hash brown patties are topped with creamy avocado, everything bagel spice, and a drizzle of hot sauce, if you like, for an easy breakfast that's ready in less than 20 minutes.
A few months ago, I meandered into the kitchen while my daughter was preparing breakfast. I watched, fascinated, as she painstakingly layered perfect slices of avocado onto crispy hash browns, then sprinkled everything bagel spice with perfect precision and oh-so-carefully drizzled hot sauce over the top. It was a masterpiece, almost too good to eat. Almost.
While I was a little disappointed that she didn't want to share that day, I knew this recipe was going to be an everyday AND camping breakfast staple. And it is. Those frozen hash brown patties crisp up beautifully on your griddle or in your cast-iron skillet (but if you're a rule-follower, you can just make them in the oven like the package says), and the creamy avocado and savory spice blend complement them perfectly. See for yourself.

Why This Recipe is Great for Camping

Ingredients and Substitutions
- Frozen hash brown patties--These frozen potato patties are available in the freezer section of most supermarkets. They cook up easily on a griddle or in a skillet, and you don't need to add butter or oil as long as your skillet is well seasoned or nonstick.
- Avocado--Choose dark colored avocados that give slightly when squeezed. Avoid hard bright green (underripe) or mushy avocados (overripe). Use extra avocado to make 3-ingredient guacamole.
- Everything bagel seasoning--This is a combination of dried onion, dried garlic, sesame seeds, and other spices. There are several pre-made varieties available at the supermarket and online, or you can make your own.
How to Make Avocado Toast on a Hash Brown
- Fry the hash brown patties on a seasoned griddle or cast-iron skillet until crispy and browned, flipping once during cooking.
- Top with sliced avocado, a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning, and a drizzle of hot sauce, if desired.
FAQs
Yes. If you don't want to cook your hash browns on the stovetop or on your griddle, follow the oven directions on the package and proceed with the recipe once they're cooked.
The hash browns will be darkened and crispy (but not burnt) on the outside, and should be releasing some oil. You should be able to cut through them easily and the center should be hot.
Tips and Troubleshooting
- There is one caveat to this recipe if you're making it while camping. You do need access to a freezer to keep the hash browns frozen until you're ready to cook, so it is best suited to trailers, rvs, and motorhomes that have a freezer.
- This recipe is suitable for gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan diets.

I made the Hashbrown Avocado Toast for breakfast. To get my protein in, I topped it with a sunny-side up egg. Delicious.
