Steps:

• Grate the potatoes, with their skin into a large bowl. Peel and grate the parsnip; add to the potatoes. Toss the vegetables with the scallions, parsley and season with the salt and pepper, to taste.
• Heat a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush the skillet with about half the oil. Add the potato mixture and form into an even cake by pressing lightly with a spatula. Cook, shaking the pan periodically to prevent sticking, until the hash browns are crisp and brown, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat; place a flat plate over the top of the skillet. Carefully flip the pan so the potato cake goes onto the plate. Brush the skillet with the remaining olive oil and then side the hash browns back into the skillet. Cook until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes more. Slide out of the skillet onto a heated serving plate. Cut into wedges to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Have ready a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Grate potatoes and shallots on large holes of a box grater or with a food processor fitted with the grating blade. Transfer to a piece of cheesecloth or clean dishcloth; squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Place in a bowl, add herbs, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Drop 1/4 cup of the mixture into the skillet; gently press to form a patty about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Repeat until there are six patties in the skillet. Cook until deep golden brown, about 8 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet; transfer to prepared baking sheet. Place in oven to keep warm. Wipe out pan; pour in remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Repeat process with remaining potato mixture; serve.

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.

HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Heat pan on medium-high, add oil and butter. When the fat is heated add minced onion, cook until soft, add shredded potato and salt and pepper, stir, and mix up. Then start pressing the mixture down and toward the center of the pan. Try to get it to congeal and keep pressing it down and cook for 10 to 12 minutes while occasionally lifting the mixture so it doesn't stick. When I took the meat out I took the juices that had collected and poured them on top of the potato mixture and fried the top with the scalding oil -- it was amazing. Cut into two or more pieces.
