Henriettas Hash Browns Recipes

SHEET PAN HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray generously with cooking spray.
• Add potatoes and onion to a large bowl and stir well. Drizzle oil over the potatoes and stir until the potatoes are coated. Gradually sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over the potatoes, tossing to combine. Distribute potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet, but don't pack down.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hash browns are golden brown and crispy, 35 to 40 minutes.

SCHWARTZIES HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Thaw frozen hash browns or pre-cook potatoes and chop into 3/8" cubes.
• Mix all but the parmesan with the potatoes.
• Transfer this mix to a presprayed 9X13 inch baking dish.
• Sprinkle the parmesan over the top.
• Bake at 350F for 60-90 minutes.
• This is moist, and very flavorful. Make the whole recipe, divide it into two pans and freeze one before cooking for a quick side later. Or, double or triple it for a pot luck or office size serving. Everyone will want the recipe, and more.

HENRIETTA'S HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and place them in a large pot of cold water. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium high and cook until you can poke a bamboo skewer through a potato, 40 to 50 minutes, being careful not to overcook. Drain and set aside to cool and dry completely, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
• Meanwhile, clarify the butter by melting it in a small saucepan over medium heat. When foam forms, use a spoon to remove and discard it. Cook, skimming, until the butter stops bubbling. Take care not to brown it. Strain through a fine sieve or cheesecloth and reserve. You should have about 5 tablespoons.
• Heat a cast iron or heavy bottomed pan over medium high heat. Grate the potatoes in the large side of a box grater into a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix lightly. Add 3 tablespoons of butter to pan, swirl until it begins to melt and add the shredded potatoes. Cook until golden brown and crusted on the bottom, almost (but not quire) burned in parts, about 15 minutes.
• Flip the potatoes using a wide spatula (or see technique above). Gently slide them back into the pan. Add remaining butter around the sides of the potatoes and cook the second side until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Cut into wedges or spoon onto plates. Serve with eggs, toast and plenty of jam.
