Garlic Hash Browns With Kale Food

HASH BROWNS WITH PARSLEY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Grate the potatoes using the large holes of a box grater. Put into a large bowl of cold water, stir to remove the starch, drain and rinse. Put the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to remove excess moisture.
• Heat the butter and oil together in a 12-inch nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes in a single layer in the pan and cook until the underside forms a brown crust, 3 to 4 minutes. Begin to stir the potatoes and continue to cook until browned all over and cooked through. One minute before they're done, stir in the parsley and garlic. Serve immediately.

KALE AND BACON HASH BROWN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the butter.
• In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-low until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside. When cool enough to handle, roughly chop bacon.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease from the pan. Heat the skillet over medium, add the onion, and sauté until soft and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the kale and garlic and sauté until the garlic is tender and fragrant, another minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped bacon.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and mustard. Add 1/2 cup mozzarella, 1/2 cup Gruyère, the hash browns, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; stir to combine.
• Stir the kale mixture into the eggs, then pour into the buttered dish. Top evenly with the remaining mozzarella and Gruyère. Cover with foil.
• Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake, uncovered, until the top is lightly browned and bubbly, another 15 minutes. Serve hot. (Cooled casserole will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.)
