Recipe from New New Orleans Cooking by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch, published by William and Morrow, 1993

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h2m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
5 medium baking potatoes, like russets (about 4 pounds), scrubbed
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup diced yellow onions
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Place the whole potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until half-cooked and almost tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let sit until cool enough to handle. Slip the skins from the potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch dice.
  • Heat the oil and melt the butter in a skillet over high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook, stirring, for 20 seconds. Add the potatoes, Essence, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook without stirring, but shaking the pan occasionally to keep from burning, until the potatoes begin to color and crisp on the underside, about 4 minutes. Turn the potatoes with a spatula being careful not to mash, and continue cooking until uniformly golden.
  • Remove from the pan and serve hot.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
1 cup bacon lardoons
1 medium shallot, sliced
1 egg white
4 green onions, roughly chopped
2 sprigs thyme, leaves picked
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Peel potatoes and wash. Use a mandolin, or food processor with the grater attachment, to finely shred potatoes. Place in a kitchen towel and squeeze dry.
  • Take a 9-inch oven proof skillet and add bacon and sliced shallots. Set over medium heat and render fat, 4 to 5 minutes. Shallots will caramelize. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon and shallots and put in a large mixing bowl (reserve the bacon fat and pan) with potato slices, egg white, green onions, and thyme leaves and season well with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Spoon mixture into the hot pan with the bacon fat. Pack it in well pressing down with a large spoon to compress the mixture a little. Drizzle the top with some extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. When it starts to get golden brown and crispy around the edges flip the hash brown over and pop into the oven to bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before running a knife around the edges and then inverting the potato onto a cutting board. Slice into wedges, garnish with chopped flat leaf parsley and serve.

  • Shredding Technique: Use a grater with large holes to achieve the desired texture. Consistent shredding ensures even cooking.
  • Rinsing and Drying: Rinse the shredded potatoes thoroughly to remove excess starch, then pat dry with paper towels to prevent sogginess.
  • Seasoning: Don't be shy with seasonings! Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper for extra flavor.
  • Cooking Temperature: Maintain a medium-high heat throughout the cooking process to achieve crispy hash browns without burning.
  • Flipping Technique: Flip the hash browns only once during cooking to prevent breaking them apart. Use a spatula to gently flip them.
