Pommes Matiere (Old Fashioned Hash Browns) image

I saw something like this on an episode of "Jacques (Pepin) and Julia (Child) Cooking at Home." You can either bake or boil your potatoes for this recipe.

Categories     Potato

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lbs potatoes, cooked and peeled
1 pinch fresh nutmeg
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup sour cream or 1/4 cup creme fraiche
1/4 cup gruyere cheese or 1/4 cup swiss cheese, grated
fresh chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Coarsely chop/smash potatoes so that they are in small chunks (these are hash browns, after all); season with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
  • In an omelet pan or cast iron skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
  • Press potatoes into pan in an even layer; cook until underside is browned (potatoes will be fragrant and edges will start to look golden), about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Place potatoes in oven and cook until the top starts to brown, about 10 minutes (you want it to be stiff enough to flip without breaking).
  • Carefully flip onto serving dish (or back into pan).
  • Spread sour cream over the top, then sprinkle with cheese.
  • Set to broil and return to oven to brown the top, 2 minutes.
  • Garnish with chives (Jacques stuck them in a bunch, on end, in the center of the dish); serve in wedges.

I'm not a big fan of hash browns, but these were actually pretty good. I might make them again.

These hash browns were a bit too crispy for my taste. I think I'll cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I found that the hash browns took a bit longer to cook than the recipe stated. I had to keep them in the pan for an extra 5 minutes.

These hash browns were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try using less butter next time.

I've tried many hash brown recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of onion and garlic gives them so much flavor.
