POMMES MATIERE (OLD FASHIONED HASH BROWNS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Coarsely chop/smash potatoes so that they are in small chunks (these are hash browns, after all); season with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
• In an omelet pan or cast iron skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
• Press potatoes into pan in an even layer; cook until underside is browned (potatoes will be fragrant and edges will start to look golden), about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Place potatoes in oven and cook until the top starts to brown, about 10 minutes (you want it to be stiff enough to flip without breaking).
• Carefully flip onto serving dish (or back into pan).
• Spread sour cream over the top, then sprinkle with cheese.
• Set to broil and return to oven to brown the top, 2 minutes.
• Garnish with chives (Jacques stuck them in a bunch, on end, in the center of the dish); serve in wedges.

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.
