RED FLANNEL HASH WITH EGGS
The eye-catching nature of red flannel hash belies its sturdily economical roots as the way to use up vegetables leftover from a New England boiled dinner. Beets are the key ingredient, and we added pastrami to give smoke and savor to the sweet root vegetables.

RED-FLANNEL HASH
Red-flannel hash is a mostly forgotten American classic. With roasted beets, roasted potatoes, cheese, onions, horseradish and other strong flavors, Jessica Koslow of the hipster-chic Los Angeles restaurant Sqirl both revives it - and makes it beautiful. The sharpness of the dish is achieved with the addition of lemon juice or zest at every turn, that horseradish and a tiny but unusual little salad of asparagus, carrots and greens.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425. Rub the potatoes and beets with a bit of oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and wrap individually in foil. Put on a rimmed baking sheet, and roast until easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 40 to 60 minutes, depending on their size. (Remove as they are done.)
- Toss the onions in enough olive oil to coat. When the potatoes and beets are about halfway into their cooking time, add the onions to the pan, and roast, turning occasionally until they're tender but not caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Combine the crème fraîche and horseradish in a small bowl, and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste.
- Combine the asparagus, carrots, mint and greens in a bowl. Just before serving, drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 teaspoons lemon juice; add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and toss. Taste, and adjust the seasoning, adding more of whatever you'd like.
- When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, crush them with your hands; peel and trim the beets, and chop to about the same size; same with the onions. Mix with the corned beef if you're using it, along with the scallions, cheese and some salt and pepper.
- Put 2 tablespoons each of olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot but not smoking, add the potatoes and beets, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Shake the pan to form a single layer, and cook undisturbed, but adjusting the heat as necessary so that the vegetables sizzle and bubble. Add more butter if the pan looks dry, but the hash should never look oily. Cook until the potatoes and beets are golden brown on the bottom, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Turn, taste, adjust the seasoning, then sprinkle with some lemon juice and salt. Serve topped with a fried egg and a bit more lemon juice, with the asparagus salad on the side.
RED FLANNEL HASH
A traditional New England recipe--the "red flannel" refers to the inclusion of beets. Frequently served for breakfast or lunch using the left-overs from a New England boiled dinner the night before. Traditionally each serving is topped with a poached egg, but this is optional. A "quick and dirty" approximation can be had by combining a can of corned beef hash and a can of beets, chopped, and frying in a skillet. Some people top it with catsup. Preparation time does not include pre-cooking the vegetables, since leftovers are so commonly used. Tasty, but definitely not for people avoiding fat or salt.

Steps:
- Combine beef and vegetables.
- Heat lard or fat in a skillet; the pan should be well coated.
- Add hash and spread out to cover the bottom of the pan; add some broth to ensure it against sticking.
- Cook over low heat about 30 minutes.
- Traditionally, it is cooked like an omelet, without stirring; a bit of a crust forms on the bottom from the mixture of the vegetable starches and the fat.
- However, I've also had it cooked with stirring occasionally to keep it jumbled up.
- Serve hot.

RED FLANNEL HASH CAKES
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.

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.
VEGAN RED FLANNEL HASH
Steps:
- Combine spice mix in small bowl. Cook onions and celery on low fire in iron skillet with 1 Tbsp oil until onions are translucent. Add remaining oil, herb mix, potatoes, and beets. Stir. Cook on low fire 10 minutes. Stir and cook an additional 10 minutes until brown and sticking to skillet. Don't burn it!
Tips:
- Use day-old bread: This will help the hash to hold together better and prevent it from becoming too mushy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you do, the hash will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook the hash over medium-high heat: This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the hash while keeping the inside moist.
- Stir the hash frequently: This will help to prevent it from burning and will also help to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Season the hash to taste: You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other seasonings that you like.
- Serve the hash immediately: It is best when served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Red flannel hash is a classic breakfast dish that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by everyone. It is a great way to use up leftover bread and vegetables, and it is also a hearty and filling meal. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect red flannel hash that will be enjoyed by your family and friends.
