RED FLANNEL HASH CAKES

Inspired by a classic, these individual red flannel cakes blur the line between hash and hash browns; the crisped patties of sugary beets, Yukon gold potatoes, and smoked bacon aren't complete without a dollop of cool, tangy sour cream.

Yield Makes about 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound medium red beets (2 to 3 beets), greens reserved for another use
7 tablespoons olive oil, plus more if needed for frying
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
7 slices bacon, coarsely chopped
1 large leek, white and pale-green parts only, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch half-moons, rinsed well
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place beets on a large piece of heavy-duty foil. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons oil, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt; season with pepper. Fold foil and seal to form a packet. Place packet in oven, and roast until beets are tender, about 1 hour. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel beets with a paring knife or a vegetable peeler; cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 2 cups).
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon, and cook, stirring often, 4 minutes. Add leek, and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in beets and thyme, and cook 1 minute more. Transfer beet mixture to a large bowl, reserving skillet.
  • Peel potatoes, and grate on the large holes of a box grater. Add potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt to the beet mixture, and toss to combine.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the reserved skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches of 4 and adding more oil if needed, drop 1/4 cup potato mixture into skillet. Gently flatten hash cakes with a spatula. Cook, flipping once, until cakes are just beginning to crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels as you work, and keep warm in a 200 degree-oven if desired. Serve with sour cream.

RED FLANNEL HASH



Red Flannel Hash image

A traditional New England recipe--the "red flannel" refers to the inclusion of beets. Frequently served for breakfast or lunch using the left-overs from a New England boiled dinner the night before. Traditionally each serving is topped with a poached egg, but this is optional. A "quick and dirty" approximation can be had by combining a can of corned beef hash and a can of beets, chopped, and frying in a skillet. Some people top it with catsup. Preparation time does not include pre-cooking the vegetables, since leftovers are so commonly used. Tasty, but definitely not for people avoiding fat or salt.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup cooked corned beef, shredded or chopped
2 cups boiled potatoes, diced
1 cup cooked beet, diced
1/2 cup cooked diced onion
1/4 cup lard or 1/4 cup bacon fat
beef broth or broth, from boiled dinner

Steps:

  • Combine beef and vegetables.
  • Heat lard or fat in a skillet; the pan should be well coated.
  • Add hash and spread out to cover the bottom of the pan; add some broth to ensure it against sticking.
  • Cook over low heat about 30 minutes.
  • Traditionally, it is cooked like an omelet, without stirring; a bit of a crust forms on the bottom from the mixture of the vegetable starches and the fat.
  • However, I've also had it cooked with stirring occasionally to keep it jumbled up.
  • Serve hot.

STIR-FRIED RED FLANNEL HASH



Stir-Fried Red Flannel Hash image

Stir-frying--an unorthodox technique for red flannel hash--yields a dish whose components are crisp and separate rather than melded into a cake, as is traditional. Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cooked beets (about 3/4 pound), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 cooked carrots, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 cooked boiling potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
a 1/4-pound piece of corned beef, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 bunch of scallions, sliced thin

Steps:

  • In a heavy skillet heat the butter and the oil over moderately high heat until the foam subsides and in the fat stir-fry the beets, the carrots, the potatoes, the corned beef, and the scallions with salt and pepper to taste for 6 minutes, or until the hash is browned.

Tips:

- Use leftover cooked or roasted meat, such as corned beef, roast beef, or ham, for a quick and easy meal. - Shred the meat finely for a more uniform texture in the hash cakes. - Sauté the vegetables until they are tender-crisp, but not mushy. - Add seasonings to taste, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder. - Use a nonstick skillet to prevent the hash cakes from sticking. - Cook the hash cakes over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning. - Serve the hash cakes with your favorite toppings, such as fried eggs, salsa, or avocado.

Conclusion:

Red flannel hash cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. They are perfect for a quick and easy breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a little planning, you can even make them ahead of time and freeze them for later. So next time you have some leftover cooked meat, don't let it go to waste. Make a batch of red flannel hash cakes instead!
