Carrot Potato Hash Browns Homemade Food

HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Make clarified butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat and cook until the white milk solids separate and rise to the top, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and carefully skim off the milk solids with a spoon; discard. Strain the remaining butter through a fine-mesh sieve and set aside (you should have about 1/4 cup clarified butter).
• Peel the potatoes and grate them on the large holes of a box grater into a colander. Squeeze out the excess moisture with your hands, then blot the potatoes dry with paper towels.
• Heat the clarified butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes to the skillet in a few piles and flatten with a spatula; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper and the paprika. Cook, undisturbed, until the potatoes start browning on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip, then drizzle with the cream; cook, undisturbed, until absorbed, about 2 minutes. Continue cooking, flipping the hash browns occasionally, until golden brown and crisp all over, about 15 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

PARSLEY POTATO CARROT HASH

Steps:

• Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium flame.
• Add potatoes and carrots and season generously with salt and pepper and toss well.
• Cook undisturbed 4-5 minutes to brown on one side, then toss and brown again for 4-5 minutes.
• Lower heat, stir in shallots and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until tender.
• Stir in parsley.

CARROT HASH WITH EGGS AND PESTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Grate the carrots (set the tops aside--you will use them later) and potato in a food processor fitted with the shredding attachment. Transfer to a colander set over a large bowl and add the scallion whites and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Use your hands or a clean dish towel to squeeze as much moisture out as possible. Discard the liquid in the bowl, then add the carrot mixture to that bowl. Stir in the panko, raisins, harissa, brown sugar, cumin, sumac, 2 eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a bunch of grinds of black pepper (I did 20) until well combined.
• Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat (see Cook's Note). Drop a small amount of the carrot mixture into the skillet. When it starts to sizzle, your oil is ready. Add the rest of the carrot mixture to the skillet and press down using the back of a spatula. Let cook, untouched, until the edges of the carrots turn a very deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Create 3 small divots in the top of the carrot mixture using the bottom of a measuring cup. Brush 1 tablespoon oil on top and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the carrots are set and the top is a deep golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Carefully crack the remaining 3 eggs into the divots and bake until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 8 minutes. (Cracking the eggs into a small bowl and pouring them into the divots makes this part a little easier and less messy). Use a spatula to help slide the hash out of the skillet onto a serving platter.
• Meanwhile, make the pesto. Roughly chop the carrot tops and scallion greens and add to the bowl of a food processor along with the basil, sunflower seeds, vinegar, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Pulse until everything is very finely chopped. Slowly drizzle in the remaining 1 1/2 cups oil and 1/4 cup water until smooth and drizzly. Drizzle the pesto over the top of the hash and slice into wedges. Serve with the remaining pesto on the side.

QUICK POTATO AND CARROT LATKES

Steps:

• Heat 1/2-inch oil in a large skillet over medium to medium high heat. To test oil, add a piece of bread to the pan. It should turn golden brown in a ten-count. Adjust heat, as necessary.
• Place potatoes in a large bowl. Using a hand grater, grate the carrot and onion into the bowl. Add eggs to the bowl. Add salt and baking powder, then sprinkle in meal or flour. Combine vegetables and meal with a wooden spoon.
• Drop mixture into oil in 3-inch mounds, press down gently with spatula to form patties. Fry in batches of 4 to 6 patties depending on the size of your skillet, 1-inch apart, until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. Put chunky applesauce and the cinnamon stick in a saucepan over medium heat and warm for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain latkes on paper towels or parchment lined tray. Serve with warm applesauce and sour cream.

GERMAN-STYLE ROASTED HASH BROWNS HOMEMADE

Steps:

• Peel and slice potatoes into 1/2-inch strips. Place the strips in a bowl of cold water as they are cut to prevent them from getting brown.
• Drain and pat the potato strips dry. Pour oil to a depth of 3/4 inch into a large, heavy cast-iron skillet and heat until close to boiling. Divide potatoes into 3 batches and fry each batch separately; each batch should take about 10 minutes. Remove potatoes with slotted spoon or strainer and drain on paper towels. When potatoes have cooled, cut strips into 1/4-inch dice.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a clean heavy skillet. When the oil is hot and begins to sizzle, add the chopped onions, paprika and salt. Saute over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, or until the onions start to soften and brown.
• Melt the butter in a large ovenproof pan or skillet. Add the potatoes and onions, and mix together well. Saute over medium-high heat until browned and then season with salt and pepper. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast 10-15 minutes, until crisp.

SWEET POTATO HASH BROWNS HOMEMADE

Steps:

• Peel and dice sweet potato, cutting into evenly sized cubes.
• Peel and dice onion, making the dice slightly larger than the potato since the potato takes longer to cook.
• Heat oil in large frying pan, add onion and garlic, sautee on high until onions are translucent.
• Add sweet potato and pepper (if using). Cook on high/med-high for 8-10 minutes until potatoes are fairly well browned.
• 2-3 minutes before serving, add spinach to pan and stir until it is wilted.
• Add salt to taste, more garlic powder if needed and serve!

FROZEN HASH BROWNS HOMEMADE - OAMC

Steps:

• Peel and cut potatoes into 1/4 inch dice. I have a bowl of cold water to dunk them into while cutting them.
• Drain and dry. Since I do so much I have an old bath towel I use in the kitchen for canning and drying food.
• Put on a cookie sheet in one layer, coat with oil and season with seasoning salt.
• Bake in 450 degree Fahrenheit oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender.
• Take out of the oven and cool to room temperature.
• Put into the freezer, either on a cookie sheet or a bowl if you are doing lots. If in a bowl then you will have to stir every couple hours to make sure they don't stick together in one big lump.
• When I am pressed for time that day, or too tired, I freeze in a lump. When I want to use them I just take a meat mallet and start pounding away. It helps relieve frustration.
• To use I just place a handful per person (for my family it is almost 2 cups) in a micrwaveable container and slightly defrost in the microwave (about 1 minute). Add to a preheated frying pan with oil and cook until well browned and hot. I tried to cook from frozen but I found they seemed to start burning before they were defrosted.
• I know some people say not to soak your potatoes because you lose vitamin C but there are so many ways to get that vitamin you really aren't missing out on much.

CLASSIC HASH BROWNS HOMEMADE

Steps:

• The potato can be grated by hand like cheese or shredded in an appropriate blender. The onion can be roughly chopped by hand or in a blender but try to avoid large chunks as much as possible as these will affect the flavour and the way in which the hash browns hold together.
• Place the shredded potato in a sieve or fine colander and press down with kitchen paper to remove as much moisture as possible.
• Ensure the onion is well broken up and not layered, then add all of it, plus all of the dried shredded potato to a medium sized bowl and combine well.
• Lightly whisk the egg then add to the potato and onion mixture.
• Add the salt and pepper - amounts are an estimate and depend on personal taste, but seasoning is essential. Other flavourings such as cheese, chilli, spices or herbs can be added here.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan. Note: the oil MUST be hot so that the hash brown begins to cook as soon as it hits the pan. Otherwise it will absorb the oil and the flavour and crispness will be affected.
• Take about a 1/4 cup of mixture and drop carefully into the pan, flattening immediately with the back of a fish slice (commonly mistaken for a spatula, so if you don't think you have a fish slice use what you think is your spatula). If you're not sure what a 1/4 cup is, divide the mixture into 4 and you're about right.
• Cook each side for 2-3 minutes. Slide the fish slice under slowly when intending to flip it over just to check it has been cooked long enough on that side. If it hasn't, it won't hold enough to allow itself to be flipped.
• Hash browns keep well in a warm (but off) oven so if you're planning them as part of a fry-up breakfast I'd recommend doing them first and keeping them in a warm oven while you cook everything else.
