Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 large boiling potato
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped scallion (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Potato: Begin by peeling the large boiling potato and then grate it using a coarse grater. Place the grated potato into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving crispy hash browns.
-
Heat the Pan: In a large frying pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to become slightly foamy, which indicates it’s hot enough for cooking.
-
Cook the Onions: Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until the onions become soft and translucent. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
-
Add the Potato: Next, add the grated potato to the pan with the onions. Spread it out evenly and press it down lightly with a spatula. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper over the top.
-
Brown the Hash Browns: Allow the potato to cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes, or until the bottom becomes a rich, golden brown. Carefully flip the hash browns over in sections, or if you’re feeling adventurous, try flipping the entire hash brown at once. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the second side is also golden brown and crispy.
-
Finish and Serve: If you’re preparing additional dishes, you can keep the hash browns warm by placing them in the oven on a low setting until everything is ready. Just before serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped scallion and parsley for a burst of color and flavor, if desired.
Notes:
- For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or paprika.
- These hash browns are delicious on their own or served with eggs, sausage, or any of your favorite breakfast items.
Enjoy this easy and delightful recipe that brings a touch of sophistication and simplicity to your table. Perfect for a cozy dinner or a weekend brunch, Ina Garten’s hash browns are sure to impress! 🥂💕
