⅓ cup quinoa I used a tri-color blend of quinoa for mine, but any color will work
⅔ cup water
1 ½ cups raw potato peeled and grated
1 large egg
1 teaspoon sea salt fine grain
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon natural butter
2 green onions

Combine the water and the uncooked quinoa in a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot and reduce heat to a simmer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, turn the heat off and leave the covered pot on the burner for another 6 minutes. Gently fluff the quinoa with a fork and allow the quinoa to cool.
In a large bowl, mix the cooked quinoa with the egg, grated potato, pepper, and salt. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 1/2 teaspoons of butter in the pan.
Scoop 1/3-½ cup of the quinoa mixture into the pan and flatten out the hash brown patty with the back of a spatula. Cook the hash browns for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat process with the remaining mixture.
