Red Flannel Hash Cakes image

Inspired by a classic, these individual red flannel cakes blur the line between hash and hash browns; the crisped patties of sugary beets, Yukon gold potatoes, and smoked bacon aren't complete without a dollop of cool, tangy sour cream.

Yield Makes about 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound medium red beets (2 to 3 beets), greens reserved for another use
7 tablespoons olive oil, plus more if needed for frying
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
7 slices bacon, coarsely chopped
1 large leek, white and pale-green parts only, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch half-moons, rinsed well
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place beets on a large piece of heavy-duty foil. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons oil, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt; season with pepper. Fold foil and seal to form a packet. Place packet in oven, and roast until beets are tender, about 1 hour. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel beets with a paring knife or a vegetable peeler; cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 2 cups).
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon, and cook, stirring often, 4 minutes. Add leek, and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in beets and thyme, and cook 1 minute more. Transfer beet mixture to a large bowl, reserving skillet.
  • Peel potatoes, and grate on the large holes of a box grater. Add potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt to the beet mixture, and toss to combine.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the reserved skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches of 4 and adding more oil if needed, drop 1/4 cup potato mixture into skillet. Gently flatten hash cakes with a spatula. Cook, flipping once, until cakes are just beginning to crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels as you work, and keep warm in a 200 degree-oven if desired. Serve with sour cream.
