CRISPY HASHBROWNS

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter on a griddle over medium-high heat until the butter is melted. Add the shredded potatoes and pack them down tightly into a patty. Cover and cook just until the perimeters start to get golden, about 5 minutes. Use a spatula to press the top down. Season with salt and pepper and flip. Cook, uncovered, until the bottom is golden and crispy, another 3 to 5 minutes.

EASY CRISPY HASH BROWNS (1 INGREDIENT & OIL-FREE)

Steps:

• You can peel the potatoes first, which is what I do for this recipe.
• If you don't peel your potatoes, scrub the potatoes clean first and rinse them.
• Preheat your griddle or oven.
• Take out your food processor or grater. Grate the potatoes with the biggest grate disc or on a large-holed cheese grater.
• In a sieve, rinse the grated potato well under running water. Drain and shake out any excess water.
• If you flavor the grated potatoes, transfer the grated potatoes to a bowl and toss it with garlic powder, onion powder and any other spices/herbs you like.
• Spread the potatoes over the griddle in an even (not too thin) layer. Let the potatoes roast for 20 minutes in the griddle. After that start checking every 5 minutes to see if your hash browns are ready (crispy and golden brown). Total grilling time is about 20-30 minutes.
• When done, serve the hash browns warm with some stir-fried vegetables or fresh greens.

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:

• 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.

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.

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.
