Cooked in the oven instead of fried, these hash browns are not only healthier, but also demand less of your attention. This recipe doubles easily: Shape the extra hash browns into smaller cakes. Bake as directed, checking for doneness a bit sooner than indicated, and cool on the sheet. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm in the oven, then top with crème fraîche and smoked salmon or caviar for appetizers in the evening.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 cups onions, sliced paper thin
1 lb potato, peeled and coarsely grated
1 teaspoon salt, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Butter large rimmed nonstick baking sheet or just use silpat.
  • Place onion in large bowl.
  • Separately, toss potatoes with 1/2 teaspoon salt in medium bowl.
  • Let stand 5 minutes. Using hands, squeeze out excess liquid from potatoes. Add potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and melted butter to onion. Toss to coat.
  • Divide mixture into 4 mounds on prepared baking sheet, spacing apart. Roast 15 minutes, then turn mounds over with spatula, pressing down to flatten to 4-inch-diameter rounds (cakes will still be soft). Reduce oven temperature to 350°F; bake until cakes are golden and crisp around edges, about 30-45 minutes longer.
  • If you scale the recipe, scale the time.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for hash browns because they have a high starch content, which helps them to brown and crisp up nicely. Yukon Gold potatoes can also be used, but they will be less crispy.
  • Shred the potatoes evenly: Use a box grater or a food processor fitted with a shredding blade to shred the potatoes. Make sure to shred them evenly so that they cook evenly.
  • Season the potatoes well: Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, onion powder, or cayenne pepper, to taste.
  • Cook the potatoes in a hot skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat before adding the potatoes. This will help the potatoes to brown and crisp up quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the potatoes in a single layer in the skillet. If you overcrowd the skillet, the potatoes will steam instead of brown.
  • Flip the potatoes regularly: Flip the potatoes every few minutes so that they cook evenly. This will also help to prevent them from sticking to the skillet.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy: The potatoes are done cooking when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This will usually take about 10-15 minutes.

Conclusion:

Hash browns are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect hash browns every time.
