Parsnip Hash Browns Recipes

CAULIFLOWER AND PARSNIP HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Slice the cauliflower lengthwise, about 1/8-inch thick. Save the little cauliflower "crumbs". Thinly slice the parsnips.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, but not smoking, add the cauliflower slices and parsnip slices, spreading out into a single layer, if possible. Do not stir, but let the vegetables cook, undisturbed, until nicely browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Add the salt, reserved cauliflower crumbs, garlic, and red pepper flakes, and give the vegetables a gentle stir. Continue cooking, only stirring once or twice, until the vegetables are cooked through and nicely browned, about 5 minutes more. Serve hot.

PARSNIP AND POTATO HASH

Steps:

• Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with 3 turns of the pan of extra-virgin olive oil, about 3 tablespoons. Add the potatoes, parsnips, thyme and season with salt and pepper, stir frequently and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the potatoes and parsnips are nice and tender and lightly browned. Add the minced onion and continue to cook until they are tender and the potatoes are nice and brown.
• Once the hash is cooked, add the chopped parsley and lemon zest. Stir to combine and transfer hash to a serving platter. Serve it up.

PARSNIP HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Peel and coarsely grate the potatoes and parsnips - if you're using a food processor, attach the medium grater. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible with your hands and put them in a bowl.
• Stir in the onion, garlic, egg and season if you like. Divide the mixture into six and roughly shape into flat cakes. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry three of the cakes on a low heat for 4-5 mins on each side until golden and tender. Transfer to kitchen paper with a slotted spoon and leave to cool while frying the remainder, adding remaining oil as necessary. Meanwhile grill the bacon and tomatoes, poach the eggs and serve alongside.

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.

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.
