CRISPY HOMEMADE HASH BROWNS



Crispy Homemade Hash Browns image

We LOVE this! It's a great recipe for hash browns that are crispy on both sides. You can peel the potatoes if you wish, I always leave the skin on. Sometimes I add some shredded sharp cheddar cheese and/or some minced garlic. A good non-stick pan works the best, I first coat the pan with cooking spray, then sometimes use the bacon grease or cooking oil instead of the butter. This is adapted from the Food Network.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 29m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs russet potatoes
1/2 vidalia onion
5 slices thick bacon or 5 slices Canadian bacon, finely chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter, divided
2 garlic cloves, finely minced (optional)
1/3 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated (optional)
3 tablespoons freshly chopped chives (to garnish, optional) (optional) or 3 tablespoons green onions (to garnish) (optional)

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.

CLASSIC HASH BROWNS HOMEMADE



Classic Hash Browns Homemade image

Make and share this Classic Hash Browns Homemade recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Amithysia

Categories     Potato

Time 21m

Yield 4 Hash Browns

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups potatoes, peeled and grated
1/2 cup onion, peeled and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 free-range egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • The potato can be grated by hand like cheese or shredded in an appropriate blender. The onion can be roughly chopped by hand or in a blender but try to avoid large chunks as much as possible as these will affect the flavour and the way in which the hash browns hold together.
  • Place the shredded potato in a sieve or fine colander and press down with kitchen paper to remove as much moisture as possible.
  • Ensure the onion is well broken up and not layered, then add all of it, plus all of the dried shredded potato to a medium sized bowl and combine well.
  • Lightly whisk the egg then add to the potato and onion mixture.
  • Add the salt and pepper - amounts are an estimate and depend on personal taste, but seasoning is essential. Other flavourings such as cheese, chilli, spices or herbs can be added here.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan. Note: the oil MUST be hot so that the hash brown begins to cook as soon as it hits the pan. Otherwise it will absorb the oil and the flavour and crispness will be affected.
  • Take about a 1/4 cup of mixture and drop carefully into the pan, flattening immediately with the back of a fish slice (commonly mistaken for a spatula, so if you don't think you have a fish slice use what you think is your spatula). If you're not sure what a 1/4 cup is, divide the mixture into 4 and you're about right.
  • Cook each side for 2-3 minutes. Slide the fish slice under slowly when intending to flip it over just to check it has been cooked long enough on that side. If it hasn't, it won't hold enough to allow itself to be flipped.
  • Hash browns keep well in a warm (but off) oven so if you're planning them as part of a fry-up breakfast I'd recommend doing them first and keeping them in a warm oven while you cook everything else.

HOMEMADE HASH BROWNS



Homemade Hash Browns image

Crispy Homemade Hash Browns are absolutely delicious and well worth the effort. They make for the perfect Sunday breakfast or brunch. A complete meal combined with eggs and sausage Some of the prep work can be done in advance.

Provided by Beth Pierce

Categories     Potatoes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large russet potatoes
3 Tbsp bacon grease or canola oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp ground cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Add the potatoes (unpeeled) to a large pot of water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Plunge the potatoes into cold ice water to stop the cooking process. Let the potatoes fully cool, dry and peel.
  • 2. Shred the potatoes with a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment. Soak the shredded potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes. Stir several times to release the starch. Drain the water. Soak again in cold water for 30 minutes; stirring several times to release the starch. Drain the potatoes in a colander.
  • 3. Scoop the drained potatoes into a clean towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
  • 4. Add 2 tablespoons of bacon fat or canola oil to a nonstick or well seasoned skillet over medium high heat. Swirl the fat to coat the pan. Add the shredded potatoes in an even layer and season with salt, fresh ground black, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika and ground cayenne pepper. Press the potatoes down in the pan and cook until golden brown: 10-15 minutes. Cut into sections, flip and brown the other side. Serve promptly.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for hash browns because they hold their shape well and have a good starch content.
  • Shred the potatoes finely: This will help them cook evenly and give them a crispy texture.
  • Use a well-seasoned skillet: This will help prevent the hash browns from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the hash browns in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  • Be patient: Hash browns take time to cook through. Don't rush the process or they will be undercooked.

Conclusion:

Hash browns are a delicious and versatile breakfast side dish that can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite toppings. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect hash browns at home that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
