BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S HASH BROWNS - INA GARTEN

Steps:

• Melt butter in frying pan.
• Add onions and potatoes.
• Add salt and pepper.
• Let brown and then toss.
• Repeat until nicely browned.
• If you are making the other recipes just place in oven to keep warm until everything is done.

BASIL CHICKEN HASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Loosen the skin from the meat with your fingers, leaving one side attached. Place 4 basil leaves under the skin of each chicken breast. Pull the skin over as much of the meat as possible so the chicken won't dry out. With your hands, rub each piece with olive oil and sprinkle very generously with salt and pepper. Bake the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes, until the skin is lightly browned and the chicken is just cooked through. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then remove the meat from the bones. Cut the chicken in large dice pieces and set aside.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large saute pan. Add the potatoes and onions, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and saute over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until evenly browned and cooked through.
• In a separate saute pan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the red peppers, garlic, thyme, paprika, tomato paste, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and saute over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the edges of the peppers are seared.
• Add the chicken and the pepper mixture to the potatoes and heat through. Add the scallions and parsley, toss together and place on a serving platter.
• Serve with sour cream, Cheddar and sliced lemons.

ROAST BEEF HASH AND EGGS

Steps:

• Place the diced potatoes in a medium saucepan, add water to cover by 2 inches, plus the vinegar and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat, add the bacon, and saute for 6 to 8 minutes, until lightly browned. Transfer the bacon to a plate using a slotted spoon. Put the potatoes in the saute pan and cook over medium to medium-high heat, tossing occasionally with a spatula, for 6 to 8 minutes, until the potatoes are lightly browned. If the pan is dry, add a few tablespoons olive oil. Add the bacon, onion, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper, toss well, and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, tossing occasionally. Add the beef, Brussels sprouts, and Sriracha, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, tossing occasionally, until heated through and the sprouts are crisp-tender.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Carefully crack the eggs into the corners of the pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until the whites are almost cooked. Cover the pan and cook over low heat for one minute, until the whites are cooked but the yolks are still runny.
• Spoon a serving of hash and place a piece of toast on each of 4 dinner plates. Place an egg on top of each piece of toast. Sprinkle with chives and salt and serve hot.

POTATO GALETTES WITH SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes, then cut them lengthwise in long matchsticks, using the finest julienne blade of a mandoline. Spread the potatoes out neatly in one layer on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, roll the towel up, and squeeze lightly to dry the potatoes without breaking them up. Put the potatoes into a bowl and toss them with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a small (8-inch) omelet pan (a saute pan with sloped sides) over medium heat. Add half of the potatoes to the pan and press lightly with a large metal spatula to make the shreds lie flat. Cook them undisturbed for 5 minutes. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the butter around the edge of the pan and cook the potatoes for another 3 to 5 minutes, until nicely browned on the bottom. Loosen the galette gently around the edge with the metal spatula and flip it over. (Be careful! The oil and butter underneath are very hot!) Add another tablespoon of butter around the edge and cook the galette for 4 to 5 minutes longer, until the second side is nicely browned. With the metal spatula, transfer the galette to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Repeat with the rest of the potatoes and butter to make a second galette.
• Place the two galettes on a cutting board. Spread each galette with 2 tablespoons of the creme fraiche and a layer of smoked salmon, covering the galette completely. Sprinkle with minced chives and sprinkle lightly with salt. Use a large chef's knife to cut each galette into 6 wedges and serve hot.

BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S SHORTBREAD HEARTS - INA GARTEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle attachment (I use a standard Kitchen Aid hand mixer with regular blades), cream together the Butter and 1 Cup of the Sugar until they are just combined.
• Add the Vanilla.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the Flour and Salt; then add them to the Butter and Sugar mixture.
• Mix on low speed until the dough starts to come together. Dump onto a surface dusted with flour and shape into a flat disk.
• Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
• Roll dough 1/2-inch thick and cut with a 3-inch heart-shaped cutter (I roll the dough between two sheets of flour-dusted waxed paper -- no sticking!).
• Place the hearts on an ungreased sheet pan and sprinkle with sugar (I line the baking sheets with parchment paper).
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes (time will vary based on the size/shape/thickness of your cookie dough), until the edges begin to brown.
• Allow to cool to room temperature.
• Leave plain or dip in or paint with melted chocolate or Royal Icing.
• A NOTE FROM INA: The edges of the shortbread are ever so slightly sharper if you chill the cookies before baking them. I cut out the cookies days ahead and bake them the day I serve them.
• For me, I loosely wrap each baked cookie in bakery-type waxed 'tissue' paper and store them in the fridge in a tightly sealed Tupperware-type container -- they will keep for weeks this way and still taste great!
