4 cups O'Brien Style frozen hash brown cubes (see note)
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 strips of bacon, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 cup prepared salsa (see note)
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
Sour cream and sprigs of fresh cilantro to garnish

Steps:

Preheat broiler. Place potatoes into a microwaveable bowl with the water, cover tightly and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Drain well. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Place bacon and oil into the skillet and cook until bacon is crisp, 4- 5 minutes. Add garlic and cumin and stir until fragrant. Add the potatoes and salt and cayenne pepper and continue to cook and stir over high heat until potatoes are beginning to crisp. Stir in the salsa, then sprinkle cheese on top and broil 3 4 minutes until bubbly. Garnish with sour cream and cilantro before serving. NOTES If you have cubed frozen potatoes without the O'Brien seasoning (onions, red and green pepper), you may want to add some of those things along with the garlic, stirring until slightly cooked. For the salsa, we liked Chipotle flavored, but choose your favorite flavored salsa and level of heat.
