BEET GREENS AND POTATO HASH



Beet Greens and Potato Hash image

This recipe begins as if you were making hash brown potatoes, but then you add beets and their greens and end up with a much more nutritious, and decidedly pink, dish. If you have leftovers and want to do something different with them, warm and toss this hash with a vinaigrette for a delicious potato salad.

Time 30m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound red boiling potatoes or baby Yukon golds, cut in small dice about 1/2 inch
1 bunch beets, roasted, peeled and cut in small dice about 1/2 inch
1 generous bunch of beet greens, stemmed and cleaned in 2 changes of water
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon vinegar - sherry, red wine or Champagne (optional)
Poached eggs, if desired, for serving optional

Steps:

  • Place the diced potatoes in a steamer above an inch of boiling water. Cover and steam for 10 minutes. Add the beet greens to the steamer, and steam for five minutes until wilted; turn them halfway through so they cook evenly. Turn off the heat underneath the steamer. With tongs, remove the greens to a bowl, and rinse them with cold water. Drain, squeeze out excess water and chop. Set the potatoes aside.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. Add the potatoes, turn the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring from time to time, until the potatoes are lightly browned, about five minutes. Stir in the garlic, beets, greens, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for another five minutes, pressing the mixture down into the pan so the edges brown. Taste, and adjust salt and pepper. Stir in the vinegar if using. Serve, topped with a poached egg if desired.

Potato-Beet Hash with Eyeball Eggs image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound medium Yukon Gold potatoes (about 3), diced
Kosher salt
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the pan
Freshly ground pepper
1 small bunch red Swiss chard, leaves torn and stems sliced
4 scallions, thinly sliced
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme, lightly crushed with your fingers
2 8.8-ounce packages fully cooked beets, diced
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 large eggs
6 thin slices pimiento-stuffed olives (2 to 3 olives)
Hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Season with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are barely tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well and let cool at least 5 minutes.
  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are browned and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to a large plate, leaving the excess oil behind.
  • Add the chard stems, scallions and thyme to the skillet and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the beets and garlic until combined, then gradually add the chard leaves, stirring to wilt before adding more. Add 2 tablespoons water and continue to cook until the greens are wilted and tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Return the potatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a second large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, crack the eggs into the hot skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are almost set, 3 to 5 minutes. Top each yolk with a slice of pimiento-stuffed olive, then cover the pan to finish fully cooking the white around the yolk, about 2 minutes.
  • Top the hash with the eggs. Drizzle with hot sauce.

RED-FLANNEL HASH



Red-Flannel Hash image

Red-flannel hash is a mostly forgotten American classic. With roasted beets, roasted potatoes, cheese, onions, horseradish and other strong flavors, Jessica Koslow of the hipster-chic Los Angeles restaurant Sqirl both revives it - and makes it beautiful. The sharpness of the dish is achieved with the addition of lemon juice or zest at every turn, that horseradish and a tiny but unusual little salad of asparagus, carrots and greens.

Categories     breakfast, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces medium Yukon Gold potatoes (about 2), scrubbed
8 ounces beets (about 3), scrubbed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large red onion, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup crème fraîche
2 tablespoons horseradish
1 lemon, zested and juiced
4 large asparagus spears, shaved into ribbons with a vegetable peeler, tops quartered, bottoms trimmed
2 carrots, peeled and shaved into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
1 tablespoon chopped mint
1 cup pea tendrils or arugula or other tender greens
1/2 cup shredded corned beef (optional)
3 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias
3/4 cup grated dry jack or Cheddar
2 tablespoons butter, plus more as needed
2 eggs, fried soft in butter

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425. Rub the potatoes and beets with a bit of oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and wrap individually in foil. Put on a rimmed baking sheet, and roast until easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 40 to 60 minutes, depending on their size. (Remove as they are done.)
  • Toss the onions in enough olive oil to coat. When the potatoes and beets are about halfway into their cooking time, add the onions to the pan, and roast, turning occasionally until they're tender but not caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Combine the crème fraîche and horseradish in a small bowl, and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste.
  • Combine the asparagus, carrots, mint and greens in a bowl. Just before serving, drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 teaspoons lemon juice; add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and toss. Taste, and adjust the seasoning, adding more of whatever you'd like.
  • When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, crush them with your hands; peel and trim the beets, and chop to about the same size; same with the onions. Mix with the corned beef if you're using it, along with the scallions, cheese and some salt and pepper.
  • Put 2 tablespoons each of olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot but not smoking, add the potatoes and beets, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Shake the pan to form a single layer, and cook undisturbed, but adjusting the heat as necessary so that the vegetables sizzle and bubble. Add more butter if the pan looks dry, but the hash should never look oily. Cook until the potatoes and beets are golden brown on the bottom, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Turn, taste, adjust the seasoning, then sprinkle with some lemon juice and salt. Serve topped with a fried egg and a bit more lemon juice, with the asparagus salad on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose tender beet greens: Select young, fresh beet greens with vibrant colors and no signs of wilting.
  • Prep your greens: Wash the beet greens thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Remove the stems and chop the leaves into small pieces.
  • Slice your potatoes thinly: Thinly sliced potatoes will cook more evenly and quickly in the hash.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will provide ample space for the potatoes and greens to cook evenly without overcrowding.
  • Cook your potatoes first: Potatoes take longer to cook than beet greens, so start by cooking them first. Once they're slightly browned and tender, add the beet greens.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice for a tangy flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Beet greens and potato hash is best served hot, so enjoy it as soon as it's cooked.
