Crab Hash With Old Bay & Basil image

One of my favorite things to order when I go out to breakfast is hash - corned beef, roast beef or any other variation - which got me to thinking about trying to make it at home. After all, the ingredients are simple: As long as you've got some kind of protein, potatoes and onions, you're in business. And it makes a fast brunch or even light supper dish, with or without poached eggs.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 (16 ounce) can crab (preferably claw), picked over
1 ½ pounds starchy potatoes (such as Idaho), cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon Old Bay (tm) Seasoning
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (or parsley)
2 tablespoons water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil over low heat in a 12-inch non-stick skillet (so potatoes don't stick). While skillet heats, prepare onion and crab as directed above. A few minutes before cooking, increase heat to medium-high. When oil starts to send up wisps of smoke, add onion and crab; cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Meanwhile, dice potatoes and toss with remaining oil. Transfer crab mixture to a bowl and reserve.
  • Add potatoes to empty skillet; cook, stirring only occasionally so they form a golden-brown crust, about 10 minutes. As potatoes cook, mix ketchup, mustard, Old Bay™ Seasoning, fresh basil and 2 tablespoons of water. (Recipe can be prepared to this point up to 2 hours ahead. Spread hot potatoes on a large lipped cookie sheet; cover when cool. Return skillet to medium-high; add potatoes and re-crisp.)
  • Return reserved crab mixture to skillet; stir in ketchup mixture, then season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until hash has nicely browned, about 5 minutes longer.

This is the best crab hash I've ever had! I'll definitely be making it again and again.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I used less Old Bay seasoning and I added some chopped red bell pepper. It was delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly and my hash turned out really dry. I think I would add more butter or oil next time.

I thought this hash was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This hash was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less Old Bay seasoning next time.

I'm not a huge fan of crab, but I really liked this hash. The Old Bay seasoning really made the dish.

I love the crispy potatoes in this hash. They're the perfect complement to the tender crab.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover crab. I had some crab cakes that I didn't finish and I used them to make this hash. It was so good!

This crab hash was a hit at my brunch party! The combination of crab, potatoes, and Old Bay seasoning was perfect. I also loved the addition of basil, which gave the dish a fresh, summery flavor.
