Bacon Blue Cheese and Potato Hash image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 bunch scallions, whites cut into 1/2-inch chunks, greens thinly sliced
1/2 cup coarsely crumbled blue cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the potato chunks and simmer until about halfway cooked, 4 to 5 minutes. (A knife shouldn't pierce the chunks easily; there should still be a little resistance in the center.) Drain and pat the potatoes very dry.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes, then remove to paper towels to drain.
  • Increase the heat to medium high. Add the par-cooked potatoes to the skillet. Cook, tossing occasionally, until they begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the bell pepper, paprika and garlic powder and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the pepper just begins to wilt, about 3 minutes, adjusting the heat if the potatoes or peppers begin to burn. Add the scallion whites and cook until the potatoes are crisp and tender and everything is well browned, 3 to 4 minutes more.
  • Sprinkle with the cooked bacon, scallion greens and blue cheese. Toss and serve immediately.

SWEET POTATO HASH WITH APPLES & BACON RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Sweet Potato Hash with Apples & Bacon Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by christoph

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 garnet yams, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
4 to 6 slices thick cut bacon, cut into lardons
1 large onion, cut in 1/2-inch dice
2 Granny Smith apples, cored and cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 scallions, white and green parts separated and thinly sliced
1/2 cup green pumpkin seeds (pepitas), toasted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400° F. In a large bowl, add the sweet potatoes, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss to evenly coat the sweet potatoes. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast the sweet potatoes for about 10 - 15 minutes or until they are soft but not mushy. Remove from the oven and set off to the side. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil in a large saute pan. Add the bacon and place the pan over medium heat to slowly render the fat. When the bacon has started to get crispy and brown, add the onions, season with salt and saute until the onions are very soft and aromatic. Add the apples and the scallion whites and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the sweet potatoes, and saute until the sweet potatoes are cooked through and starting to become crispy, about 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the scallion greens and pumpkin seeds.

Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or red potatoes are ideal for hash browns as they hold their shape well and don't get mushy.
  • Shred the potatoes evenly: Use a box grater or a food processor with the shredding attachment to get even-sized shreds. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the hash browns, make sure to spread them out in a single layer in the pan. This will help them get crispy and prevent them from steaming.
  • Use enough oil or butter: Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of oil or butter when cooking the hash browns. This will help them get golden brown and crispy.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Hash browns are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are crispy and hot.

Conclusion:

Hash browns are a delicious and versatile breakfast dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them crispy or soft, with or without cheese, hash browns are sure to hit the spot. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give hash browns a try. You won't be disappointed!
