Best 6 Crispy Hash Browns Recipes

CRISPY RESTAURANT-STYLE HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Rinse shredded potatoes in a colander with cold water until water runs clear. Place in a cheesecloth or clean dish towel and twist tightly to squeeze out all moisture.
• Place potatoes in a bowl with onion, flour, salt, and pepper. Add egg and mix thoroughly.
• Heat oil in a shallow, cast iron frying pan. Add potato mixture to the hot oil to form either on large or several smaller pancakes. Cook until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel and serve hot.

CRISPY HOMEMADE HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Microwave the potatoes for 4 to 5 minutes, let cool until you can handle them.
• Grate the potatoes and onion in a food processor using the grater attachment, or grate by hand.
• Cook the bacon, but not too crisp, as it will cook with the potatoes.
• In a medium bowl, add the grated potato mixture, the onions, and the bacon. Add cheese now and/or garlic now, if you are using it. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and mix thoroughly together.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until it just starts to foam.
• Add the potato mixture and using a spatula or wooden spoon, press the potatoes firmly into the bottom of the pan.
• Increase heat to medium-high and let the potatoes brown and crisp for 6 to 8 minutes.
• Cut the potatoes into wedges, remove from pan, add remaining butter/oil and slide wedges into pan. Some folks turn the entire "pancake" onto a plate, then slide it back in, but that never seems to work for me. LOL.
• Continue to cook over medium heat until remaining side is dark golden brown and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes longer.
• Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with chopped onions or chives if using.
• Sometimes I have sour cream or ketchup in ramekins for those who would like to add that after plating.

EASY CRISPY FRIED CHEESE-TOPPED HASH BROWNS PATTIES

Steps:

• Heat 2-3 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat; add in onion and saute for about 6-8 minutes or until tender (if adding in garlic add in the last 2-3 minutes of cooking).
• In a bowl mix the thawed hash browns with onion, seasoned salt and pepper.
• Heat more oil in the skillet; drop the hash brown mixture into about 3-inch rounds (if you find that the mixture has problems holding together then add in an slightly beaten egg).
• Cook about 4-5 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and crispy (press down with a spatula to flatten).
• Top each potato round with a slice of cheese; cook until melted.
• Delicious!

CRISPY HASH BROWNS WITH SMOKY SAUCE

Steps:

• Smoky Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl combine the sour cream, parsley, paprika, vinegar and garlic. Mix until well blended, and then taste to check the seasoning. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the hash browns: Grate the potatoes using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated potatoes on a clean dish towel and squeeze out the excess water.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the grated potatoes, onions, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper, and give it a good stir.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop out the potatoes and place in the hot pan. Fill the pan with 4 or 5 potato scoops, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Using a spatula, flatten out the potato portions. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue to cook on the other side until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes. Drain the hash browns on paper towels, sprinkle with salt, and repeat the process for the remaining potatoes. Serve with the smoky sauce on the side.

CRISPY OVEN BAKED HASH BROWNS RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Start by preheating your oven to 375° F. Line your sheet tray with enough parchment paper to cover the top of the tray. Spread the hash browns out on the tray. Make sure there is a pretty even layer of hash browns, so they all cook evenly. Pour the olive oil over the hash browns, and sprinkle the salt and pepper over the top. Get in there with your hands and mix the hash browns, ensuring that you get some of the oil and salt and pepper to coat those potatoes. Place the tray in the preheated oven and cook for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove from the oven, and give them a toss. Place back in the oven and cook another 15 minutes, or until crispy. When you are ready to serve, simply slide the hash browns off the parchment paper onto your plate or bowl, and dig right in. Crispy, and tender, these baked hash browns satisfied everyone at the dinner table, and I will make these again. Have you tried baking hash browns before? Do you prefer the skillet or the baking method?

BONNIE'S CRISPY CAST IRON HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• 1. Use frozen hashbrowns for this recipe. Make sure they are loose and still frozen. (no clumps of frozen potatoes)
• 2. Place the potatoes in a seasoned 10 inch cast iron skillet. They should be about one inch from the rim of the skillet (the potatoes will lower as they cook)
• 3. Sprinkle the garlic salt, garlic powder and black pepper to taste over the potatoes. Pour 1 stick of melted butter evenly over the top of the potatoes.
• 4. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, place the rack on the bottom. You will have to watch your potatoes the first time you make this recipe to allow for any differences in the temperature of your oven.
• 5. Bake the potatoes one hour and the top of the potatoes and edges should just begin to brown. If you check, the bottom of the potatoes are a nice golden brown. Remove the skillet from the oven and place the rack up ABOVE the center of the oven, and return the potatoes to the oven to finish browning the top.
• 6. Bake 10 minutes longer until they are nice and brown. Remove from oven, and cover until ready to serve. I flip the potatoes over for a nice presentation. Leftovers for the next day heat up nicely in the microwave. Here is how they look! Enjoy!
