How to Make Low Carb Hashbrowns
When you're looking to replace potatoes to make a low carb meal, you want something with a mild taste and in this low carb recipe you want a low carb vegetable that shreds just like potatoes for hashbrowns.
The low carb vegetable I've used in quite a few recipes in my cookbook Naturally Keto to make authentic Zuppa Toscano and New England Clam Chowder is RADISH!
Daikon radish specifically, since it's easier to peel than using the little red round radish which is most often seen in the markets. Daikon radish has less of a bite than the red radishes and is just easier to handle to shred for low carb hashbrowns.
If you can't get your hands on Daikon, you can certainly use the typical red round radish though it will be a bit more time consuming to peel and shred those.
I served this to my picky 21 year old and never told him it had radish and he ate it up! Hubby said, "this is one of the best breakfast casseroles I've ever had!"

Can I Make This Keto Casserole Dairy Free?
Yes if you need to make this casserole dairy free you certainly can.

Do I Have to Refrigerate Overnight?

Tasty but I definitely would squeeze out the moisture from the shredded radishes before mixing in the other ingredients next time. I ended up having to drain the mix as I went on and more liquid collected at the bottom (I made individual 1/4-cup patties instead of one big hash brown).
Brenda Bennett
Hmm, that's interesting because I had no liquid in my casserole dish after it was baked. Did you fry individual patties?
Ruth
Brenda, I made this for my guys and had left overs I reheated in the air fryers. As always a winner.love the use of daikon radish. It is starting to become a favorite. Veggie in this house. Thank you for introducing us to a new one
Brenda
So happy you all loved it! Thanks Ruth!
Sheri
The list of ingredients says "cream cheese" once and "heavy cream" a couple of times. Should I assume the heavy cream is the correct ingredient since it's mentioned that way more often? Thank you.
Brenda
Hi Sheri,
I am not sure why you are seeing "cream cheese" in list of ingredients as there is not any. I used heavy cream and cheddar.
Joe
Hi Brenda. New to this daikon shredding. Daikon is quite high in water content. Do I squeeze out the water? Or shred and use?
Brenda
Nope you don't need to squeeze, use after shredding.
Brenda
At least a week.
Kyla
I saw that as well! I assume that it’s supposed to be heavy cream. I was a bit confused for a moment.
Lynn chamberlin
Can you use rutabaga in place of radish
Brenda
I'm sure that could work.
