CRISPY SKINNED CHESAPEAKE BAY ROCKFISH WITH HAYMAN SWEET POTATO, VIRGINIA COUNTRY HAM AND BLUE CRAB HASH, MELTED LEEKS AND MEYER LEMON BUTTER
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the Meyer lemon butter: In a small saucepan, reduce the Meyer lemon juice until slightly syrupy. Stir in the heavy cream. Whisk in the cold cubed butter a few pieces at a time, not allowing the sauce to become cold or too hot to touch by hand. When all of the butter is incorporated, strain the sauce. If the sauce separates, pulse with an immersion blender to emulsify. Set aside and keep warm.
- For the hash: Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat, salt it generously. Trim the root end of the leek and halve lengthwise. Rinse very well under running water to flush out any grit trapped between the leaves. Slice leeks into 1/4-inch-thick pieces, put in a small strainer and dip in the boiling water. Cook until just tender, about 3 minutes, then plunge strainer and leeks in an ice water bath to cool. Drain and pat dry leeks, set aside. Repeat this procedure with the diced sweet potatoes, blanch until almost tender, about 3 minutes, then cool in the ice bath. Drain and pat dry, set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the blanched Hayman sweet potatoes leeks, sweat until very tender about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the leeks continue to cook until heated through. Add the crab and country ham, stirring gently until heated through. Add the fines herbes at the last minute. Season, to taste, with salt and white pepper. Set aside and keep warm while you prepare the fish.
- For the rockfish: Score the skin side of the fillets with a sharp knife, taking care not to cut too far into the flesh of the fish. Season with salt and white pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add the clarified butter. Add the rockfish skin side down, sear until skin is golden and crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip, add the butter and thyme and bake until just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- In a bowl or plate, drizzle the warm Meyer lemon butter in a circle just inside the rim. Gently place the warm blue crab hash in the center of the plate. Place the rockfish on top of the hash with the crispy skin side up. Garnish with Meyer lemon segments or slices, if desired.
COUNTRY PORK AND APPLE HASH
This is a boardinghouse breakfast of the very highest tier, taken from the chef Robert Newton of Seersucker in Brooklyn: leftover roast pork, chopped into a hash of potatoes and apples, then crisped in sweet butter. Add a few eggs, some sauteed dandelion greens, endless cups of coffee and the magic of weekend conversation.

COUNTRY HASH
Not everything Feniger serves at her restaurant is typical street food, and here's a delicious case in point. The intriguing combination of shredded brisket, diced root vegetables, and apples is based on a recipe that Feniger's grandmother Sylvia Morgan often made for family meals in Toledo, Ohio. Roasted poblano chiles, a nod to the chefs days at Santa Monica's Border Grill, add a spark of heat, and a fried egg makes it enormously satisfying.

CHEESY HASH BROWNS WITH COUNTRY SAUSAGE GRAVY
I worked on this one a bit and played about with the ingredients, and cooking method. The country sausage gravy is pretty traditional. I got it from my ex mother-in-law, man can that lady cook. The hash browns are a bit different because we're going to make then in a waffle iron. So, you ready... Let's get into the...

Steps:
- 1. THE HASH BROWNS
- 2. Chef's Note: The amount of potatoes used in this recipe will depend on the size, and type of your waffle iron.
- 3. Gather your ingredients.
- 4. Using the large holes on a box grater shred the potatoes, and the onion.
- 5. Lay them on paper towels, and press to remove as much moisture as possible.
- 6. Add the onions, and the potatoes to a bowl, and then combine with the seasoning, ingredients: salt, pepper, cayenne, and paprika.
- 7. Place the ingredient in the middle of a tea towel.
- 8. Squeeze the towel to remove most of the remaining liquid.
- 9. Chef's Note: The removal of the excess liquid is essential to producing a nice crispy hash brown.
- 10. Return to the bowl, and carefully mix in the egg, cheddar cheese, and sour cream.
- 11. Brush the grapeseed oil on the top and bottom portions of the waffle iron.
- 12. Preheat the waffle iron.
- 13. Chef's Note: If the waffle iron you are using has a heat setting, place it at 100 percent. This should give you a crispy outside and a soft inside.
- 14. Add a generous portion of hash browns to the waffle iron.
- 15. Close the lid and allow them to cook until crispy, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- 16. Chef's Tip: All waffle irons are different, so the timing for yours might be longer, or shorter. Take a peek now and then.
- 17. They should look something like this. Crisp on the outside, soft and warm on the inside.
- 18. THE COUNTRY SAUSAGE GRAVY
- 19. While the hash browns are cooking, gather your ingredients.
- 20. Add the sausage to a skillet over medium heat.
- 21. Cook, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- 22. Whisk the flour and milk together.
- 23. Add to the cooking sausage.
- 24. Continue to stir the mixture as it begins to thicken, and then reduce heat to low.
- 25. At this time begin seasoning the gravy with the salt and pepper... especially the pepper. When I can feel the kick of the pepper in the back of my throat, then I know it's ready.
- 26. Chef's Note: You can add a lot of seasoning ingredients to a good sausage gravy; however, traditional country gravy is mostly milk, flour, sausage, salt, and pepper.
- 27. Chef's Tip: Have a bit of extra milk, and flour on hand. Just in case you need to thicken, or thin down the gravy.
- 28. PLATE/PRESENT
- 29. Place the hash brown on a nice sized plate.
- 30. Ladle a generous portion of gravy on top.
- 31. Finish with sunny-side-up egg. Enjoy.
