Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound medium Yukon Gold potatoes (about 3), diced
Kosher salt
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the pan
Freshly ground pepper
1 small bunch red Swiss chard, leaves torn and stems sliced
4 scallions, thinly sliced
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme, lightly crushed with your fingers
2 8.8-ounce packages fully cooked beets, diced
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 large eggs
6 thin slices pimiento-stuffed olives (2 to 3 olives)
Hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Season with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are barely tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well and let cool at least 5 minutes.
  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are browned and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to a large plate, leaving the excess oil behind.
  • Add the chard stems, scallions and thyme to the skillet and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the beets and garlic until combined, then gradually add the chard leaves, stirring to wilt before adding more. Add 2 tablespoons water and continue to cook until the greens are wilted and tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Return the potatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a second large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, crack the eggs into the hot skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are almost set, 3 to 5 minutes. Top each yolk with a slice of pimiento-stuffed olive, then cover the pan to finish fully cooking the white around the yolk, about 2 minutes.
  • Top the hash with the eggs. Drizzle with hot sauce.

RED-FLANNEL HASH



Red-Flannel Hash image

Red-flannel hash is a mostly forgotten American classic. With roasted beets, roasted potatoes, cheese, onions, horseradish and other strong flavors, Jessica Koslow of the hipster-chic Los Angeles restaurant Sqirl both revives it - and makes it beautiful. The sharpness of the dish is achieved with the addition of lemon juice or zest at every turn, that horseradish and a tiny but unusual little salad of asparagus, carrots and greens.

Categories     breakfast, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces medium Yukon Gold potatoes (about 2), scrubbed
8 ounces beets (about 3), scrubbed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large red onion, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup crème fraîche
2 tablespoons horseradish
1 lemon, zested and juiced
4 large asparagus spears, shaved into ribbons with a vegetable peeler, tops quartered, bottoms trimmed
2 carrots, peeled and shaved into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
1 tablespoon chopped mint
1 cup pea tendrils or arugula or other tender greens
1/2 cup shredded corned beef (optional)
3 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias
3/4 cup grated dry jack or Cheddar
2 tablespoons butter, plus more as needed
2 eggs, fried soft in butter

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425. Rub the potatoes and beets with a bit of oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and wrap individually in foil. Put on a rimmed baking sheet, and roast until easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 40 to 60 minutes, depending on their size. (Remove as they are done.)
  • Toss the onions in enough olive oil to coat. When the potatoes and beets are about halfway into their cooking time, add the onions to the pan, and roast, turning occasionally until they're tender but not caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Combine the crème fraîche and horseradish in a small bowl, and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste.
  • Combine the asparagus, carrots, mint and greens in a bowl. Just before serving, drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 teaspoons lemon juice; add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and toss. Taste, and adjust the seasoning, adding more of whatever you'd like.
  • When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, crush them with your hands; peel and trim the beets, and chop to about the same size; same with the onions. Mix with the corned beef if you're using it, along with the scallions, cheese and some salt and pepper.
  • Put 2 tablespoons each of olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot but not smoking, add the potatoes and beets, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Shake the pan to form a single layer, and cook undisturbed, but adjusting the heat as necessary so that the vegetables sizzle and bubble. Add more butter if the pan looks dry, but the hash should never look oily. Cook until the potatoes and beets are golden brown on the bottom, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Turn, taste, adjust the seasoning, then sprinkle with some lemon juice and salt. Serve topped with a fried egg and a bit more lemon juice, with the asparagus salad on the side.

POTATO AND COLLARD GREEN HASH



Potato and Collard Green Hash image

Potatoes and greens are a classic, rustic combination, and a very comforting one. The greens are blanched, and then cooked with onion and garlic. After a while, cooked potatoes are added and crushed into the greens. The dish isn't like mashed potatoes, more like a hash. Serve it as a side dish with fish or chicken, or with other vegetable dishes.

Categories     dinner, one pot

Time 2h

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large bunch collard greens, about 1 1/2 pounds, stemmed and washed in 2 changes of water
Salt to taste
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, sliced very thin in half-moons
2 to 4 garlic cloves, green shoots removed, sliced thin
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
3/4 pound yellow-fleshed potatoes, such as Yukon gold

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the collard greens. Blanch for four minutes, and transfer to the ice water with a slotted spoon or skimmer. Drain and squeeze out extra water. Chop coarsely. Set aside the cooking water.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat in a wide, lidded skillet or Dutch oven, and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about three minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt, the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender, about five minutes. Stir in the collard greens. Mix together for a few minutes, and then add 1 cup of the cooking water and salt to taste. Bring to a simmer, cover partially, and simmer over low heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring often and adding more cooking water from time to time, so that the greens are always simmering in a small amount of liquid.
  • While the greens are cooking, scrub the potatoes and add to the pot with the cooking water. Bring back to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the cooking water, and allow to cool slightly so that you can peel them if you wish. Cut them into large chunks.
  • Uncover the greens, and add the potatoes. Using a fork or the back of a wooden spoon, crush the potatoes and stir into the greens. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste, and stir over low heat until the greens and potatoes are well combined. The potatoes should not be like mashed potatoes, just crushed and intermingled with the greens, like hash. Taste, adjust seasonings and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh beet greens: Look for beet greens that are deep green in color and have crisp leaves. Avoid any greens that are wilted or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Wash the beet greens thoroughly: Beet greens can be gritty, so it's important to wash them thoroughly before using them. Rinse them under cold water several times, making sure to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Chop the beet greens finely: Finely chopping the beet greens will help them cook evenly and will also make them easier to mix with the other ingredients in the hash.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to beet greens and potatoes, you can also add other vegetables to your hash, such as onions, peppers, carrots, or zucchini. This will add flavor and variety to the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the hash, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly and will also make them more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the hash over medium heat: Cooking the hash over medium heat will help to prevent the vegetables from burning. It will also give them time to soften and caramelize.
  • Season the hash to taste: Once the hash is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.

Conclusion:

Beet greens and potato hash is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover beet greens, and it's also a healthy and satisfying meal. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
