Hash Browns Crispy Recipes

CRISPY HASH BROWN

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.

• Gather the ingredients.
• Use the grater attachment of a food processor or a hand grater to shred the cooked and cooled potatoes.​

• Add the shredded potatoes and flatten them against the griddle or skillet.​

• Season the hash browns with salt and pepper and serve hot. Enjoy.

CRISPY RESTAURANT-STYLE HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Rinse shredded potatoes in a colander with cold water until water runs clear. Place in a cheesecloth or clean dish towel and twist tightly to squeeze out all moisture.
• Place potatoes in a bowl with onion, flour, salt, and pepper. Add egg and mix thoroughly.
• Heat oil in a shallow, cast iron frying pan. Add potato mixture to the hot oil to form either on large or several smaller pancakes. Cook until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel and serve hot.

CRISPY HASHBROWNS

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter on a griddle over medium-high heat until the butter is melted. Add the shredded potatoes and pack them down tightly into a patty. Cover and cook just until the perimeters start to get golden, about 5 minutes. Use a spatula to press the top down. Season with salt and pepper and flip. Cook, uncovered, until the bottom is golden and crispy, another 3 to 5 minutes.

CRISPY HOMEMADE HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Microwave the potatoes for 4 to 5 minutes, let cool until you can handle them.
• Grate the potatoes and onion in a food processor using the grater attachment, or grate by hand.
• Cook the bacon, but not too crisp, as it will cook with the potatoes.
• In a medium bowl, add the grated potato mixture, the onions, and the bacon. Add cheese now and/or garlic now, if you are using it. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and mix thoroughly together.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until it just starts to foam.
• Add the potato mixture and using a spatula or wooden spoon, press the potatoes firmly into the bottom of the pan.
• Increase heat to medium-high and let the potatoes brown and crisp for 6 to 8 minutes.
• Cut the potatoes into wedges, remove from pan, add remaining butter/oil and slide wedges into pan. Some folks turn the entire "pancake" onto a plate, then slide it back in, but that never seems to work for me. LOL.
• Continue to cook over medium heat until remaining side is dark golden brown and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes longer.
• Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with chopped onions or chives if using.
• Sometimes I have sour cream or ketchup in ramekins for those who would like to add that after plating.

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.

FANCY HASH BROWN RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Using a food processor fitted with the large grater attachment (or the large holes on a box grated), shred the potato. Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with the salt, then let sit for about 5 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
• Transfer the shredded potato to a clean, lint-free kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible. Wipe out the bowl, then the potato to the bowl and season with pepper. Use your fingers to separate the shreds into a fluffy pile.
• Heat a 6-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat until very hot. Line a wire rack or plate with paper towels and set nearby.
• Once the skillet is very hot, add 1 tablespoon of ghee and swirl to coat the pan. Carefully transfer the potato shreds to the skillet and use a spatula to gently pat down into a uniform circle. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the bottom is a deep golden brown and crispy. Set a plate upside-down over the skillet, place your hand on top to hold it in place, and carefully flip the skillet upside down to release the hash brown from the pan. (Be careful, the skillet will be very hot!)
• Return the skillet to the heat, then add the remaining tablespoon of ghee. Let the ghee warm for about 30 seconds, then slide the hash brown, uncooked side down, back into the skillet. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until golden brown, then remove from the skillet and place on the paper towels to drain.
• Let the hash brown cool for a few minutes, before topping with a generous dollop of crème fraîche, smoked salmon, chives, dill, and roe. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
