Title: Hash Browns
Post by: meganjane on May 05, 2013, 01:41:05 pm

Hash Browns
Serves 4

1 onion, peeled and quartered
600g potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
50g butter
50g butter, extra and a little oil

Chop onion on speed 5 for a few seconds at a time, scraping down in between. Add potatoes and chop on speed 5 for a few seconds at a time, scraping down in between until chopped coarsely.

Remove from bowl and place into a sieve. Press as much liquid as possible from the mixture.
Place back into bowl and add the  50g butter. Cook for 5 minutes, 100, speed 1, reverse.
Remove and place into a bowl to cool.

When ready to cook, heat the remaining butter and some oil in a frying pan. Fry each side until quite browned and crispy. I turned mine twice on each side.

Picture of them frying away in the pan in the first post. They stay in shape well. I rolled them in wet hands, then flattened in my palm.
They need long cooking to get crisp, so don't have the pan too hot.

Yum, & DH said to tell you these are great MJ!  :)
He loves to take hash browns to work with him on cold days, he heats them at work (I cooked them first) and has them with soup.  :)
Haven't tried them on the kids yet, but I think they will like them!!  :D

So glad they passed the test with DH astarra! Mine loved them too. So much healthier (and cheaper) than the ones you buy.

I'm really looking forward to making these tonight :D :D

I just have a little question....

I was wondering if it would be possible to use half sweet potato? It tends to cook more quickly than regular potato and usually ends up softer. I'm not sure if this might make them too soft and sloppy? Does anyone have any thoughts?

Amy why not just grate a small amount of sweet potato and add it to one of the hash browns just before you shape and cook it. That way it won't get the first cooking. If it works then you will know for the rest.

I made these yesterday they tended to fall apart a bit as it turned them four times, the last half I added an egg and a little rice flour to,the mixture it is so much better held the shape beautifully.  Nice taste ate four in a row.  Piggy piggy.

After all that, I had no sweet potato >:(

But they were really good, I made hash brown "stacks" with baked beans and eggs!
Thanks for a yummy, easy recipe Meg! :D :D :D :D :D

Aussie Brenda, I only turn them once for that reason! Good idea adding the egg and rice flour.
