Tims Roadkill Hash Recipes

Steps:

• Grate potatoes on the largest hole on a box grater into a medium bowl. Cover with cold water and drain; repeat once or twice, until water runs nearly clear. Taking small handfuls at a time, squeeze all the water from the potatoes and place in a dry medium bowl. Grate onion on the largest hole on a box grater and toss with potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Taking small handfuls at a time, squeeze all water from the potato-onion mixture. Heat 2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat or vegetable oil in skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl together.
• Add potatoes and onions and spread into a thin, even layer. Cook, without moving, until the potatoes are nearly cooked through and browned on one side, about 5 to 8 minutes. Using a spatula, flip sections of the potatoes to crisp on the other side. Add 1 tablespoon reserved bacon fat or vegetable oil and remaining 1 tablespoon butter and cook, without moving, until potatoes are browned on the other side, about another 5 minutes. Flip once or twice more (you don't have to be so careful here; just kind of stir them around) and continue to cook until most of the bits of potato are golden brown and crisped, about another 4 minutes.
• Transfer potatoes to a plate. Serve with hot sauce (or ketchup, if you wish).

Steps:

• Prepare the hash browns: Peel the potatoes, then use a box grater to shred them lengthwise into long strands, then place them immediately into a large bowl of cold water to prevent them from oxidizing. Pour out the water, add a second round of cold water until the shredded potatoes are immersed, and let them sit for about 5 minutes.
• While the potatoes soak, prepare the crème fraîche: Add crème fraîche, dill and lemon zest to a medium bowl and whisk until aerated, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt; refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Strain the potatoes, then use a cheesecloth or towel to squeeze out any excess water (or tightly grip them by the fistful, squeezing any liquid into the sink), transferring potatoes to a large bowl. Season shredded potatoes with the Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder and a generous amount of kosher salt. (If you notice a little excess water in your bowl, feel free to pour it out.) Mix until everything is incorporated and then shape the mixture into 8 patties, patting them firmly until compact.
• Once you have your hash browns shaped and ready, divide 3 tablespoons canola oil between 2 large nonstick or cast-iron pans and heat over medium. Gently add 4 hash browns to each pan, using a spatula to sculpt the edges of each hash brown so they're rounded like hockey pucks. Cook, undisturbed, until golden-brown and crisp underneath, about 5 minutes, reducing the heat to medium-low if browning too quickly. Carefully flip the hash browns, adding about 1 tablespoon of oil to each pan (or more, if needed), and cook over medium until the second side is golden-brown, another 3 to 5 minutes, reducing the heat to medium-low if browning too quickly.
• Once the hash browns are golden on both sides, working with 1 pan at a time, add 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and 2 thyme sprigs to the pan and cook over medium, tilting the pan slightly and using a spoon to baste the thyme-scented butter over the hash browns, about 1 minute.
• Turn heat off and transfer butter-basted hash browns to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to absorb any excess oil. Repeat basting step with the remaining hash browns, butter and thyme sprigs.
• Garnish with chives and serve with crème fraîche.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large pan over medium heat until it foams. Add the leftover vegetables and cook for 3 minutes. Add the meat and stir to combine. Cook until the hash is hot, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• After stirring the meat into the hash, about 4 minutes in, melt the other tablespoon of butter in a separate pan over medium heat, until it foams. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites have set but the yolks are still runny.
• Place the hash on a platter, with the eggs on top. Dust lightly with paprika and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place diced potato and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Cover with water, place over medium heat, and simmer until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water; set aside.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and salt and pepper to taste. Sauté until tender. Add rosemary and parsley, remove from heat, and set aside.
• Place diced potatoes in a large bowl; roughly mash about half the potatoes with a fork or back of a spoon. (If you have leftover mashed potatoes available, you could use 1/4 cup here and reduce diced potatoes to 1 cup.) Add onion mixture, meat, ketchup and Tabasco.
• Place an 8-inch nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Coat bottom with 1 tablespoon oil and add meat mixture, patting top and edges to make a compact patty. Allow to cook until browned underneath, 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer pan to oven to cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place another small skillet over medium heat. Fry or poach eggs as desired; remove from heat and keep warm.
• To serve, invert hash onto a warmed serving platter. Top with fried or poached eggs, and garnish with chives. Serve immediately.
