Beet Hash Recipes

LEFTOVER ROAST BEEF HASH

Steps:

• Place potatoes on a microwave-safe plate and prick skins with a fork. Cook in the microwave until slightly tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
• Combine potatoes, roast beef, onion, green bell pepper, and mushrooms in a bowl.
• Preheat an electric skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat with oil.
• Spread potato mixture evenly in the skillet. Let cook, without stirring, until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until second side is crisp, about 5 minutes more.

BEET HASH WITH EGGS

Steps:

• In a high-sided skillet, cover beets and potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Season with salt and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain and wipe out skillet.
• Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add boiled beets and potatoes and cook until potatoes begin to turn golden, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, add onion, and cook, stirring, until tender, about 4 minutes. Adjust seasoning and stir in parsley.
• Make four wide wells in the hash. Crack one egg into each and season egg with salt. Cook until whites set but yolks are still runny, 5 to 6 minutes.

POTATO-BEET HASH WITH EYEBALL EGGS

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Season with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are barely tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well and let cool at least 5 minutes.
• Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are browned and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to a large plate, leaving the excess oil behind.
• Add the chard stems, scallions and thyme to the skillet and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the beets and garlic until combined, then gradually add the chard leaves, stirring to wilt before adding more. Add 2 tablespoons water and continue to cook until the greens are wilted and tender, about 5 minutes.
• Return the potatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a second large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, crack the eggs into the hot skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are almost set, 3 to 5 minutes. Top each yolk with a slice of pimiento-stuffed olive, then cover the pan to finish fully cooking the white around the yolk, about 2 minutes.
• Top the hash with the eggs. Drizzle with hot sauce.

BEET HASH

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly. Preheat a heavy cast iron skillet on medium high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to hot pan and and scoop out about a cup and a half of of the mixture and add it to the pan. Cook 3-4 minutes per side until dark crust forms. You may refrigerate unused mixture for up to 3 days or portion and freeze. Serving suggestions: Serve hot with poached eggs, sour cream and salsa, or even ketchup.

SWEET POTATO-BEET HASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the cut sweet potatoes and beets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until vegetables are golden, about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, add the bacon and render the fat until the bacon is crispy. Add the onions and season with salt, and continue to cook until the onions start to caramelize and turn golden, about 10 minutes. Add the roasted sweet potatoes and beets to the pan and stir to combine cooking another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary and serve immediately.

RED-FLANNEL HASH

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.

CORNED BEEF HASH

Steps:

• In a large deep skillet, over medium heat, combine the potatoes, corned beef, onion, and beef broth. Cover and simmer until potatoes are of mashing consistency, and the liquid is almost gone. Mix well, and serve.

RED FLANNEL HASH

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add all remaining ingredients. Reduce heat to low; cook and stir until lightly browned and heated through, 20 minutes.

ROAST BEEF HASH

Steps:

• In large skillet, cook onion in butter until tender crisp.
• Add remaining ingredients except milk and gravy.
• Whisk milk and gravy together until smooth.
• Add to skillet.
• (If there is no leftover gravy, just increase milk to 1 1/2 cups.) Stir all together and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for approximately 20 minutes or until potatoes are done.
• The liquid should be absorbed.

BEET GREENS AND POTATO HASH

Steps:

• Place the diced potatoes in a steamer above an inch of boiling water. Cover and steam for 10 minutes. Add the beet greens to the steamer, and steam for five minutes until wilted; turn them halfway through so they cook evenly. Turn off the heat underneath the steamer. With tongs, remove the greens to a bowl, and rinse them with cold water. Drain, squeeze out excess water and chop. Set the potatoes aside.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. Add the potatoes, turn the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring from time to time, until the potatoes are lightly browned, about five minutes. Stir in the garlic, beets, greens, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for another five minutes, pressing the mixture down into the pan so the edges brown. Taste, and adjust salt and pepper. Stir in the vinegar if using. Serve, topped with a poached egg if desired.
