Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

6 Yukon Gold Potatoes, grated
1 onion, finely grated
1-2 Tbsp olive oil
1 pat unsalted butter
salt & pepper, to taste

Steps:

Helpful equipment: Potato ricer (easy way to remove excess moisture) or cheesecloth or tea towel Box grater or food processor with a shredding blade Wash potaotes (I don't peel them, unless you are using Russets) and grate Squeeze out as much moisture as you can (to avoid gummy potatoes). Add grated onion (if using) Add olive oil, pepper and go easy on adding salt (you can always add more). Toss to combine. Heat a skillet, with about 2-3 tsp olive oil on medium heat until it is rippling and just starting to smoke. Add the pat of unsalted butter (for flavor). Evenly distribute the potatoes and allow to cook until golden brown. Press down with a large spatula (I use a bacon press to weight it down). Flip over and continue to cook until golden brown. Total cooking time is approximately 20 minutes. If desired, crack 4 eggs on top and cover. Allow to cook for 3-4 minutes longer and serve. Otherwise, you can cook eggs separately and serve.

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 pounds frozen hash browns (I prefer the "shredded" style but cubes work)
1 pint of Whipping Cream OR 1 pint Half and Half
2 cups of Swiss cheese, grated
1/2 cup of butter, melted
salt, pepper and paprika

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place hash browns in a 9x13 inch pan sprayed with PAM. Salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with the cheese. Pour butter on top and sprinkle with paprika. Pour pint of whipping cream (or Half and Half) over top. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. A crowd favorite!

Tips:

Use a large skillet to ensure the hashbrowns cook evenly.
Shred the potatoes finely for a crispier texture.
Do not overcrowd the skillet; this will prevent the potatoes from cooking properly.
Season the hashbrowns generously with salt and pepper.
Cook the hashbrowns over medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve the hashbrowns immediately with your favorite toppings.
