Homemade Hash Browns Recipes

Steps:

• Cook whole potatoes in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 10 minutes; drain and let cool.
• When potatoes are cool enough to handle, grate them with a coarse grater.
• In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil and butter together and cook hash browns over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes on each side, or until crisp and well-browned.
• Resist the temptation to stir them around; just lift up an edge periodically to check on browning.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Dice or shred the potatoes.
• Fry bacon in a non-stick skillet until crisp.
• Remove bacon from the skillet and drain on a paper towel.
• If there is too much grease, pour some of it into a measuring cup in case you need to use it later.
• Add the chopped onions to the bacon grease.
• Saute' on medium heat until the onions are tender and slightly brown.
• Add the potatoes and mix thoroughly with the onions, using an egg spatula.
• Fry the potatoes turning them over frequently for even cooking.
• If potatoes start to stick to the bottom of the skillet, add more bacon grease or vegetable oil (about 1 tablespoon) Fry until potatoes are a nice golden brown.
• Serve with the fried bacon.

Steps:

• Grate the potatoes and onion in a food processor using the grater attachment. Transfer to a kitchen towel over a bowl and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
• In a medium bowl, add the grated potato mixture, the chives, and the Canadian bacon. 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. Reduce heat to low and let the potatoes brown and crisp for 6 to 8 minutes.
• Once brown and crisp, carefully invert the hash browns onto a rimless large plate. Add remaining tablespoon butter to pan. When butter melts, slide the hash browns back into the pan. Continue to cook over medium heat until remaining side is dark golden brown and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes longer.
• Remove to a cutting board and slice into wedges. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with chopped chives.

Steps:

• Make clarified butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat and cook until the white milk solids separate and rise to the top, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and carefully skim off the milk solids with a spoon; discard. Strain the remaining butter through a fine-mesh sieve and set aside (you should have about 1/4 cup clarified butter).
• Peel the potatoes and grate them on the large holes of a box grater into a colander. Squeeze out the excess moisture with your hands, then blot the potatoes dry with paper towels.
• Heat the clarified butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes to the skillet in a few piles and flatten with a spatula; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper and the paprika. Cook, undisturbed, until the potatoes start browning on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip, then drizzle with the cream; cook, undisturbed, until absorbed, about 2 minutes. Continue cooking, flipping the hash browns occasionally, until golden brown and crisp all over, about 15 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large (10 to 12-inch) saute pan. Add the potatoes, onions, salt, and pepper and cook over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally with a flat spatula, until the potatoes are evenly browned and cooked through. (Allow the potatoes to cook for 5 minutes before turning.) Turn off the heat and add the parsley and scallions. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium low heat for 5 minutes.
• While the pan is heating, grate the potato on the largest hole of a box grater. Squeeze the grated potatoes in a tea towel to remove excess moisture.
• Add the fat to the pan and scatter evenly with the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and cook for 5 minutes without disturbing. Decrease the heat to low, flip the potatoes, and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a one cup measure in microwave. Heat non stick skillet over medium high heat. Shred potatoes on hand held grater. Squeeze out liquid from potatoes. Add some butter to skillet and add shredded potatoes and press down with spatula. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle potatoes with more butter. Cook until golden brown and then flip. Finish cooking in hot oven for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• In a heavy medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and saute until softened and caramelized. Remove onions from skillet. Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet and heat. Add diced potatoes in an even layer in the skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook until the potatoes begin to brown on the bottom, 6 to 7 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to prevent sticking. Add onions back to skillet, press into a pancake. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Peel potato and shred with the large shredder holes.
• Rinse the starch from the shredded potato until water runs clear.
• Soak the shredded potato in cold, salty water for 15 minutes. Sometimes I add a little sugar to sweeten the potatoes slightly.
• Drain potato, but do not pat dry. You need some excess water.
• Melt the butter in the pan over medium heat, then add potato and mix together. Then, add salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Gather potato into a thin layer, then cover the pan and allow potato to steam until the pieces are cooked. They'll end up looking wilted and a little sad, but you want them nice and soft, or you'll have tough hash browns. Add seasoning until it suits your taste.
• Remove cover, slide softened potato to one side, add cooking oil to where the hash brown will rest in the pan. Raise heat to Medium High.
• Using a spatula, put potato onto the oil, then form it into the shape you want, but don't make the layer too thin. It's still going to condense down, and you'll want some soft, unbrowned potato in the center.
• Cook until golden brown on the bottom. At first, the potato may stick to the pan, but it'll eventually release once it's nice and crispy and holds together. This should take 5-10 minutes.
• Using a large spatula, lift up the hash brown and add oil under it for the unbrowned side.
• Flip unbrowned side onto the oil. This can be difficult, so be careful and quick.
• Tidy up the edges of the hash brown and allow to cook until browned, another 5-10 minutes.
• Enjoy! I usually end up adding a bit more salt and garlic powder, but I love them.

Steps:

• Grate the potatoes along with the onion, hand-squeeze out the moisture if desired.
• Add in the beaten egg and lots of salt; mix well.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot.
• Scoop in spoonfuls of the potato mixture, and flatten into patties about 1/2-inch thick (you can make these as large as you like).
• Brown the patties on both sides, adding more oil as needed.
• Serve hot.

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.

Steps:

• Beat egg in a medium size mixing bowl. Mix egg and onion with mashed potatoes. Add salt and pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a medium size frying pan, over a medium heat. Scoop the potato mixutre into the frying pan in 4 inch circles, pat with a spatula to flatten the mounds to approximately 1/2 to 1 inch thick. Cook until bottom is browned. Flip the patty over and brown on the other side.

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.

Steps:

• Pour in skillet enough oil to liberally cover bottom of pan. Some times I add 1 tbs butter to help crisp them. Heat on medium high heat until very hot.
• Mix together onion and potatos. CAREFULLY place in pan (grease will spatter). Spread to edges with spatula patting and forming into circle. Fry until bottom is golden brown then turn over. Fry other side until golden brown. Remove onto plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Turn onto clean plate.
• Salt and pepper Served with desired topping Topping Suggestions: (choose one) sour cream and chopped green onions, shredded cheddar cheese and bacon bits, Ketchup mustard.

Steps:

• Peel potatoes if desired. Cut in half and place in large pot. Cover with cold water.
• Bring water to a boil and cook until potatoes are just tender (about 10 minutes). Drain.
• Place potatoes in large bowl and cover with cold water. Place in fridge over night.
• Drain potatoes. Shred with hand grater or food processor.
• To cook right away: Heat frying pan over medium-high heat. Add butter or margarine. Place shredded potatoes in pan. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes or until bottom is browned. Flip potatoes and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper.
• To freeze: Spray freezer-safe container with cooking spray (I use a plastic ice cream tub). Place a layer waxed paper in the bottom and spray w/ cooking spray. Place a layer of potatoes in container (enough for 1 meal). Place another piece of waxed paper on top of potatoes and spray with cooking spray. Continue layering in this way until all potatoes are used. Freeze until ready to use. Cook as directed above (will take longer).

Steps:

• Rinse shredded potatoes until water is clear, then drain and squeeze dry. Place shreds in a bowl, and mix in the onion, flour and egg until evenly distributed.
• Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is sizzling hot, place potatoes into the pan in a 1/2 inch thick layer. Cover the whole bottom of the pan, or make separate piles like pancakes. Cook until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip over and brown on the other side. It should take at least 5 minutes per side. If you are cooking them in one big piece, it can be cut into quarters for easier flipping.
• Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-9-inch casserole dish with the butter and set aside.
• Add the hash browns, 7 ounces (about 3 1/2 cups) of the Cheddar, the sour cream, onion, egg, paprika, cayenne and 1/4 cup of the chopped chives to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and stir until combined. Pour into the prepared casserole dish and top with the remaining 1 ounce (1/2 cup) Cheddar.
• Bake for 45 minutes until the casserole is heated through, browned on top and the sides become crispy. Let cool for 5 minutes. Cut into slices and dollop with more sour cream and the remaining 2 tablespoons chives.

Steps:

• Peel the skin of potatoes if they are dirty, otherwise you can also leave them on.
• Fine julienne cut the potatoes ( I used the julienne cut on my hand slicer).
• Try to squeeze all the juice from the potatoes with a towel.
• Flavor with salt and pepper according to taste.
• Heat oil on a skillet pan (non-stick is a good choice). Be generous on the oil, it will make your hash brown very crispy.
• On medium-high heat, pour the potatoes on the pan and try to make it flat and round. Do not stir it.
• Turn it over when golden brown and it's done when both sides are golden and crispy.
