Sunnys Saturday Special Hash Browns Food

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.

SPICY HASH BROWNS W/EGGS SUNNY-SIDE UP

Steps:

• Add two eggs to a small bowl and let stand at room temperature while cooking the hash browns.
• Add Peanut Oil to cast iron skillet or your preferred type of skillet and heat to medium-high.
• Add the shredded hash browns to skillet and form into an evenly round patty about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, add sea salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and add all of the red onion spreading evenly. Let cook, do not mix or stir. Once the hash browns are golden brown (about 3 to 4 minutes), flip over and let cook until golden brown. Remove hash browns from skillet and place on your eating or serving dish.
• Turn heat down to medium and ensure skillet has cooled down before adding butter or the butter will turn brown and make for ugly looking eggs (I would recommend removing cast iron skillet from heat to cool).
• Add butter to skillet and melt. Add eggs from the small bowl to the skillet adding just a pinch of sea salt and black pepper and cook for about 3 minutes without touching for Sunny-side up: this should produce a nice white colored egg (not brown). If egg edges start to crisp, the heat is too high. During the last 30 seconds, I microwave the hash browns to get them nice and hot, then add the eggs on top of the hash browns. Add the green onions to the skillet and heat slightly (30-45 seconds): do not cook them. Garnish eggs and dish with green onions and enjoy!
