Easy Hash Browns Recipes

VERY EASY HASH BROWN

Steps:

• Peel the skin of potatoes if they are dirty, otherwise you can also leave them on.
• Fine julienne cut the potatoes ( I used the julienne cut on my hand slicer).
• Try to squeeze all the juice from the potatoes with a towel.
• Flavor with salt and pepper according to taste.
• Heat oil on a skillet pan (non-stick is a good choice). Be generous on the oil, it will make your hash brown very crispy.
• On medium-high heat, pour the potatoes on the pan and try to make it flat and round. Do not stir it.
• Turn it over when golden brown and it's done when both sides are golden and crispy.

CLASSIC HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Shred potatoes into a large bowl filled with cold water. Stir until water is cloudy, drain, and cover potatoes again with fresh cold water. Stir again to dissolve excess starch. Drain potatoes well, pat dry with paper towels, and squeeze out any excess moisture.
• Heat clarified butter in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Sprinkle shredded potatoes into the hot butter and season with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika.
• Cook potatoes until a brown crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Continue to cook and stir until potatoes are browned all over, about 5 more minutes.

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

Steps:

• In a heavy medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and saute until softened and caramelized. Remove onions from skillet. Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet and heat. Add diced potatoes in an even layer in the skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook until the potatoes begin to brown on the bottom, 6 to 7 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to prevent sticking. Add onions back to skillet, press into a pancake. Season with salt and pepper.

HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a saucepan of boiling water for 10 mins then drain and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Coarsely grate the potatoes into a bowl discarding any skin that comes off in your hand as you grate. Season well with salt and pepper and pour over half the butter. Mix well then divide the mix into 8 and shape into patties or squares. The hash browns can be prepared a day ahead and chilled until ready to cook or frozen for up to a month.
• To cook, heat the oil and the remaining butter in a frying pan until sizzling and gently fry the hash browns, in batches if needed, for 4-5 mins on each side until crisp and golden. Serve straight away or leave in a low oven to keep warm.

QUICK HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• The number of potatoes simply depends upon the number of people you are feeding.
• Wash and do not peel the potatoes. Microwave on high until mostly done. If using 2-3 small red potatoes for two servings this will be about 2 1/2 minutes.
• While microwaving the potatoes fill a bowl with iced water. When potatoes are done drop them into the ice water and cut them lengthwise in half to expedite cooling.
• When just cool enough to handle shred each half without peeling. Keep the peel against your palm while shredding and most of the peel will remain in your hand. Discard the peel and continue with recipe.
• Place shredded potatoes in skillet sprayed with vegetable spray and cook over medium heat until well browned. Flip and repeat.
• (I don't use salt and pepper, I had to include something else here or the system would not let me publish this. Add it if you would like.).
• NOTE: If you want to add other items to these then shred them onto a plate first, add the other items and them place in fry pan. You might want to add some diced onion, bacon or bacon bits, shredded cheese, chives or whatever you might imagine.

Steps:

• Heat pan on medium-high, add oil and butter. When the fat is heated add minced onion, cook until soft, add shredded potato and salt and pepper, stir, and mix up. Then start pressing the mixture down and toward the center of the pan. Try to get it to congeal and keep pressing it down and cook for 10 to 12 minutes while occasionally lifting the mixture so it doesn't stick. When I took the meat out I took the juices that had collected and poured them on top of the potato mixture and fried the top with the scalding oil -- it was amazing. Cut into two or more pieces.
