Hash browns are a classic breakfast favorite known for their crispy texture and savory flavor. This recipe combines grated potatoes with onions and chives, creating a perfect side dish that is easy to make and full of taste. Whether you are preparing them for a brunch gathering or a cozy morning at home, these hash browns will surely delight your taste buds.
Instructions:
- Begin by washing and peeling the potatoes. Make sure they’re clean to avoid any grit in your hash browns.
- Peel the onion and chop it into finely diced pieces.
- Finely chop the chives if they aren't pre-chopped.
- Using a coarse grater, grate the potatoes into a large bowl.
- Once grated, place the potatoes into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. Removing the water will help the hash browns get crispy.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with the finely chopped onion.
- Add the egg yolk to the potato and onion mixture. This will act as a binder to help hold the hash browns together.
- Add the chopped chives to the mixture for a bit of color and flavor.
- Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large, non-stick skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to get hot before adding the potato mixture.
- Once the oil is hot, spoon the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening it out with a spatula to form a large, even layer or individual patties, depending on your preference. Smaller patties are easier to flip and typically get crispier.
- Cook the hash browns for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning while ensuring they cook through evenly.
- Once the hash browns are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess oil.
- Serve the hash browns hot, garnished with a sprinkle of extra chives if desired. They pair well with eggs, bacon, or a variety of breakfast dishes.
Tips:
- Choose starchy potatoes like Russets for crispier hash browns.
- Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated potatoes to ensure they fry up crispy.
- To prevent the hash browns from sticking, make sure your skillet is preheated and your layer of olive oil is evenly distributed.
- Avoid overcrowding the skillet to allow even browning and crisping.
- Use a gentle touch when flipping the hash browns to keep them intact.
