Skillet Hash Food

HAMBURGER HASH

Steps:

• Preheat broiler to high.
• Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Place cubed potatoes in a bowl of cold water, swishing them around to remove starch. Drain in a colander and rinse. Spread potatoes out paper towels and pat dry.
• Add oil to a cast iron skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring as needed, until the potatoes are fork tender and browned on most sides.
• Sprinkle potatoes with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Stir in the onions, red bell pepper and garlic to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring until golden brown.
• Stir in the beef, chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and cook, breaking up any clump, until brown, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
• Add the potatoes back to the skillet and mix in. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top of the skillet.
• Place skillet under preheated broiler until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

POTATO AND CORN SKILLET HASH

Steps:

• Spread the potatoes in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Add 2 cups water, the vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook, stirring halfway through, until the water evaporates and the potatoes are softened, about 20 minutes.
• Increase the heat to medium high and add the olive oil. Cook, without stirring, until the potatoes are very browned on the bottom, 5 to 10 minutes. Using a firm metal spatula, scrape up the potatoes from the bottom of the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring and scraping often, until the potatoes are a rich golden brown and crisp all over, 20 to 30 more minutes. Add 1 to 2 more tablespoons olive oil as needed if the potatoes are too dry. Remove to a plate.
• Add the corn to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Return the potatoes to the skillet, stir well and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and stir in about half the herbs. Top with the remaining herbs.

SKILLET HASH AND EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce the potatoes in a few places with a fork and microwave until almost tender, about 10 minutes, turning halfway through. Let cool slightly, then peel and cut into 1/2-inch dice.
• Heat the butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa and cook, stirring, until it starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the onion and caraway seeds and cook until the onion is soft, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the potatoes, then flatten the hash into an even layer, pressing gently with a spatula. Cook undisturbed until crunchy and browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip the hash in sections and cook until browned on the other side, about 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Using a spoon, make 4 shallow indentations in the hash and crack 2 eggs into each. Transfer to the oven and bake until the egg whites set, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and top with the parsley and scallions.

DELUXE HASH BROWN SKILLET

Steps:

• For the roasted tomatoes and mushrooms: Preheat the broiler to medium-high. Arrange the tomato slices on a baking tray. Add the mushrooms. Drizzle over the olive oil, tamari and Worcestershire sauce.
• Sprinkle over the garlic power and mixed herbs and put under the broiler until they release their juice and become succulent and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• For the hash browns: Grate the potatoes through the large holes of a box grater or use a food processor with the grater blade.
• Put the grated potato into a colander and rinse under cold water to wash away the starch (this allows them to crisp up more when cooking). Shake dry and then lay onto a clean kitchen towel and roll up tightly to squeeze out excess water so the potatoes dry. (This is another trick that ensures the potatoes crisp up when cooking-if they are wet they will remain soggy!)
• Now heat the olive oil in a 12-inch flame-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Lay the grated potato evenly onto the base of the pan and sprinkle over the sea salt. Push the potato firmly and evenly down into the pan with a spatula. Allow the potatoes to cook undisturbed for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, using a spatula, carefully check that the bottom is browning and crisping up nicely. Allow to cook further until brown and crispy on the bottom.
• For the cumin black beans: In the meantime, heat the olive oil in a second smaller skillet over medium heat. Add the beans, sprinkle over the cumin and stir fry to cook through and infuse the beans with the cumin, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Move the grilled mushrooms and tomatoes out from under the broiler and place on the bottom shelf of the oven to prevent overcooking and keep them warm until the hash brown is ready.
• Place the skillet under the broiler to brown the top of the potatoes until golden and crispy, 10 to 15 minutes.
• For the garnish: While the hash browns are broiling, peel and thinly slice the avocado. Put the avocado on a plate, squeeze the lime juice over to stop it from browning and sprinkle with a small pinch of sea salt to flavor.
• Once the potato is all brown and crispy on top, remove it from the broiler (remember the handle will be hot, so use an oven mitt!). Slide the hash brown gently onto a chopping board or serving platter.
• Remove the tomatoes and mushrooms from the oven and rewarm the black beans.
• To assemble: Spoon the beans on top of the potato hash brown. Sprinkle on the scallions. Place the avocado slices on top of the scallions.
• Arrange the cooked mushrooms and tomatoes as the next layer, keeping the grilling juices to spoon on when serving. Finish with a sprinkle of cilantro.
