Crispy Hash Brown Recipes Recipe For Zucchini

ZUCCHINI HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add shredded zucchini to a large mixing bowl. Salt and let it sit about 10-15 minutes to draw out the moisture from the zucchini. (Salting is optional but it does help draw out some of the moisture.) After the 10-15 minutes, drain out the water and then wring dry the zucchini with a cheesecloth or similar type cloth. You should be left with 1 packed cup (141 g) of zucchini.
• Add zucchini, egg and cheese into your mixing bowl. Stir and mix until completely combined.
• Fill a 1/4 cup measuring cup with the zucchini mixture. Press down to compact it. Flip the cup over onto your prepared baking sheet. The mixture should slide out and should still hold the cup form. Gently press down on mixture with your fingers or hand to flatten it to about 1/2 inch thick and shape it into an oval or rectangle of whatever shape you prefer your hash browns to be. Repeat with remaining zucchini mixture.
• Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the surface of each hash brown, coating the surface of the hash browns in a layer of breadcrumbs. See notes regarding how thick the layer should be.
• Place hash browns into oven and cook for about 20-23 minutes or until zucchini is cooked and breadcrumbs are golden. If you are using pork rind breadcrumbs, they may appear to be too wet at first, but once they are out of the oven and given a few minutes to cool, they should crisp back up. If you are using panko breadcrumbs, they should not appear wet. Let hash browns cool a few minutes so that they are set before removing them off the baking sheet. Serve while still warm. Uneaten hash browns can be kept in the fridge or freezer.

KETO ZUCCHINI HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Coarsely shred the zucchini (about 4 cups) into a medium bowl, add salt and let it stand for 15 minutes. Squeeze excess moisture with hands.
• Squeeze out the excess water with your hands.
• Add the eggs, parmesan cheese and minced garlic. Combine everything together until you get a batter.
• In a large skillet over medium heat add 2 tablespoons of butter.
• Take about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture and flatten them in the skillet to form a patty. Add as many patties as you can fit in the skillet, but avoid overcrowding.
• Cook until golden brown on each side turning once. This should take around 6 to 8 minutes.
• Repeat until mixture is finished, add more butter to the skillet if needed. Enjoy hot!

ZUCCHINI "HASH BROWNS" AND EGGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft and lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the sage, garlic and jalapenos and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the squash, vinegar, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and stir to combine. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash begins to soften, 6 to 8 minutes. Uncover and add the red pepper and half of the parsley. Cook until the squash is completely soft and lightly brown, 6 to 8 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
• Make 8 small indentations in the squash with a measuring cup or the back of a ladle. Crack the eggs into the indentations and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return the pan to medium heat, cover and cook until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve.

EMILY'S FAMOUS HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Rinse shredded potatoes until water is clear, then drain and squeeze dry. Place shreds in a bowl, and mix in the onion, flour and egg until evenly distributed.
• Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is sizzling hot, place potatoes into the pan in a 1/2 inch thick layer. Cover the whole bottom of the pan, or make separate piles like pancakes. Cook until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip over and brown on the other side. It should take at least 5 minutes per side. If you are cooking them in one big piece, it can be cut into quarters for easier flipping.
• Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

HASH BROWNS ZUCCHINI

• Let stand for 15 minutes.
• Squeeze with your hands to press out moisture.
• Stir in eggs, cheese, and garlic.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a wide frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Mound about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture in pan, flatten slightly to make a patty.
• Repeat until pan is filled, but don't crowd patties in the pan.
• Cook patties, turning once, until golden on both sides (about 6 minutes.) Remove to a serving platter and keep warm.
• Repeat with remaining zucchini mixture and add more butter as needed.

ZUCCHINI HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Shredd the zucchini as you would potatoes for hash browns.
• Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
• Place on a George Foreman Grill in 1/2 cup portions. Cook for about 7 minutes or until golden brown. Note: If you do not have a George Foreman, you can pan fry each side until golden brown. Frying them is still tasty but less healthy (because of the oil), and they fall apart more easily.

CRISPY HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Prepare the hash browns: Peel the potatoes, then use a box grater to shred them lengthwise into long strands, then place them immediately into a large bowl of cold water to prevent them from oxidizing. Pour out the water, add a second round of cold water until the shredded potatoes are immersed, and let them sit for about 5 minutes.
• While the potatoes soak, prepare the crème fraîche: Add crème fraîche, dill and lemon zest to a medium bowl and whisk until aerated, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt; refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Strain the potatoes, then use a cheesecloth or towel to squeeze out any excess water (or tightly grip them by the fistful, squeezing any liquid into the sink), transferring potatoes to a large bowl. Season shredded potatoes with the Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder and a generous amount of kosher salt. (If you notice a little excess water in your bowl, feel free to pour it out.) Mix until everything is incorporated and then shape the mixture into 8 patties, patting them firmly until compact.
• Once you have your hash browns shaped and ready, divide 3 tablespoons canola oil between 2 large nonstick or cast-iron pans and heat over medium. Gently add 4 hash browns to each pan, using a spatula to sculpt the edges of each hash brown so they're rounded like hockey pucks. Cook, undisturbed, until golden-brown and crisp underneath, about 5 minutes, reducing the heat to medium-low if browning too quickly. Carefully flip the hash browns, adding about 1 tablespoon of oil to each pan (or more, if needed), and cook over medium until the second side is golden-brown, another 3 to 5 minutes, reducing the heat to medium-low if browning too quickly.
• Once the hash browns are golden on both sides, working with 1 pan at a time, add 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and 2 thyme sprigs to the pan and cook over medium, tilting the pan slightly and using a spoon to baste the thyme-scented butter over the hash browns, about 1 minute.
• Turn heat off and transfer butter-basted hash browns to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to absorb any excess oil. Repeat basting step with the remaining hash browns, butter and thyme sprigs.
• Garnish with chives and serve with crème fraîche.
