How To Make Homemade Hash Browns 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.

Steps:

• Heat 3 Tbsp of oil in a large frying pan on medium high heat.
• While the pan is heating, squeeze out as much moisture as you can from the grated potatoes. It's easiest to do this with a potato ricer, using it much like you would a garlic press, except you don't force the potatoes through the ricer. You just press out the moisture. If you don't have a ricer, use paper towels to squeeze out as much moisture as you can from the grated potatoes.
• When the oil in the pan heats up to the point of shimmering, but not smoking, add the grated potatoes, spreading them out along the bottom of the pan. The potatoes should not be too thick in any one place, no more than a half inch thick. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the potatoes. After a few minutes, lift up one edge of the potatoes and see how done they are. If they have fried to a golden brown they are ready to flip. Use a large spatula to flip the potatoes over all at once, or divide the large potato cake into halves or quarters and flip. Continue to cook until they are golden brown on the bottom.

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes and place in stockpot. Do not peel or remove brown spots. Parboil the potatoes by placing them in a large pot. Cover the potatoes with cold, salted water and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes.
• Drain and rinse potatoes with cold water until easy to handle. Remove any bruised or brown spots with a knife. Using a box shredder or food processor, shred potatoes.
• Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat or 350 degrees. Place potatoes in an even layer over the butter and cook until a golden-brown crust forms on the bottom (5-7 minutes). Flip potatoes and cook until crust forms on the other side.
• Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cook whole potatoes in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 10 minutes; drain and let cool.
• When potatoes are cool enough to handle, grate them with a coarse grater.
• In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil and butter together and cook hash browns over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes on each side, or until crisp and well-browned.
• Resist the temptation to stir them around; just lift up an edge periodically to check on browning.
• 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.

PERFECT HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Peel potatoes. Coarsely shred potatoes using a handheld shredder or a food processor with a coarse shredding blade.
• Place shredded potatoes in a large bowl; add enough cool water to cover potatoes. Stir well. Drain in a colander set in a sink. Repeat rinsing and draining two or three times until water runs clear. Drain again, pressing out as much water as you can with a rubber spatula. Line a salad spinner with paper towels; add potatoes and spin.* Repeat, if necessary, until potatoes are dry. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Sprinkle potatoes with salt and pepper, tossing to combine.
• In a 10-inch nonstick skillet** heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and the butter over medium-high heat until butter foams. Add potatoes to the skillet, spreading into an even layer. Gently press with the back of a spatula to form a cake. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, without stirring, about 12 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crisp.
• Invert a baking sheet or plate over the top of the skillet. Carefully invert the skillet with the baking sheet or plate to transfer the potatoes to the baking sheet or plate. If needed, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Using the baking sheet or plate, slide the potatoes back into the skillet, uncooked side down. Cook, without stirring, about 8 minutes more or until the bottom is golden brown. If desired, sprinkle with paprika before serving.

HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Coarsely grate the potatoes and onion into a clean tea towel and then squeeze out the excess liquid by twisting the towel. Place the mix in a large bowl.
• Add the egg, a good couple of pinches of salt and freshly ground black pepper (you need to salt the mixture well otherwise the hash browns can be quite bland). Mix the ingredients well.
• Heat a good glug of oil in a heavy based frying pan and when the oil is hot (but not smoking), add spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the pan and flatten into patties about 1cm/½in thick. Flip over once browned and crispy - about 2-3 minutes each side.
• Serve hot as a breakfast or supper side dish. Especially good with bacon and eggs.

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and shred or grate on a box grater to get 4 cups. If you don't have a box grater, cut your potatoes in to small cubes.
• Place potatoes into a bowl and cover with cold water. Swirl them around and drain. Repeat 4 times, or until water runs clear.
• Transfer to a clean dish towel or paper towels and squeeze to drain out any extra water. Open the towel and spread out the potatoes to dry while you heat the butter.
• In a heavy skillet, add the butter over low heat and gently melt. Once melted, turn off the heat and use a spoon to skim off the white milk solids floating on top. You won't get it all, but do the best you can.
• Turn the heat up to medium high and heat 2 minutes. Add potatoes and spread them evenly and reduce the heat to medium. Leave the potatoes undisturbed and cook 8 to 10 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown (you can peek if needed) and they release easily from the skillet.
• Flip in one piece or in sections and cook an additional 5 to 8 minutes until golden brown on the other side. Sprinkle with salt to taste and serve warm.

HOMEMADE HASH BROWNS RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash and scrub potatoes. Using a box grater or a food processor, shred the potatoes. (If you prefer, you can peel the potatoes before shredding them.)
• Place shredded potatoes into a cold water bath. Stir the potatoes until the water becomes cloudy. Drain the water and repeat.
• Spread the potatoes out into a single layer on a kitchen towel or layered paper towels. Pat the potatoes dry. Then wrap the towel around the potatoes and squeeze to remove any excess moisture. (Be careful if using paper towels, you don't want them to break open.)
• Place a large skillet over medium heat. Melt half the butter in your skillet. Once butter is melted and the skillet is hot, add potatoes spreading them into a single layer. Season with half of the salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
• Cook the potatoes for 5 minutes until a brown crust forms on the bottom. Flip the potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes. (I flip the potatoes in sections instead of trying to flip the whole thing at once.)
• Once the potatoes are browned and crispy, portion hash browns on everyone's plates and serve immediately. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
