Hash Browns

When I have left over boiled potatoes I take them out of the fridge and dice them. Then I spice them with garlic powder, pepper and paprika. I toss them in with bacon and sausage as I am frying them and toss the potatoes regularly until they are crispy brown. Along with fried eggs makes a great and calorific breakfast.

But I always go out and chop a cord of wood after such a breakfast. 😇

Leftover potatoes cubed or sliced with chopped onions, salt and pepper (add other flavors or herbs) in an oiled pan on med high burner. Press down with spatula to maximize contact with pan and fat. Let them cook a while before turning. Then keep them moving, allowing them to sit and brown after each flip. Great hash brown flavor and texture - not too fine.

Shredded? Find a latke recipe.

That’s more or less my approach except I leave out the salt. Too much salt in our diets already and I don’t add it to my cooking or at the table. Today my blood pressure was 121/70 and I am 78.

When I go to ihop and order the hash browns, I usually tell them I want them crispy. I really like hash browns-but I probably like Potatoes O'Bryan better.
 

 

I was going to say that the hash browns at IHOP are very good!  The right texture and flavor, without overwhelming onions (if there are any at all).

I like onions in mine.

To carry on a theme of how the best hash browns are made-- -when my parents went to New York City years ago-possibly for the  first time-they wanted to go to a Kosher Restaurant as there weren't any in the medium size Texas town I grew up in. There might not even have been any in Dallas at the time.
 

They find one, and I think the waitress (if that's not too politically incorrect in these more enlightened times) talked up the chicken soup. So my Dad orders it. At the time for the bill, the waitress comes up to the table and asks my Dad how it was. Dad said something like it wasn't as good as my Mom's (Note: My Mom was present during all this. But Dad wasn't just buttering my Mom up. My Mom always made excellent soup and matzo balls (in case anyone is interested-hers were delicious floaters (vs sinkers-IYKYK)-except possibly one time when I have no idea what the heck happened).  
 

So the waitress says-you know why our soup isn't as good as your wife's? It's because she makes it with love.

A shameless confession…..I like the hash browns at Waffle House, scattered and covered of course!

To me hash browns are potatoes.  Period.  Most restaurants pad them with peppers and onions, two tastes I do *not* want in my mouth in the morning.
