I saw something like this on an episode of "Jacques (Pepin) and Julia (Child) Cooking at Home." You can either bake or boil your potatoes for this recipe.

Categories     Potato

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lbs potatoes, cooked and peeled
1 pinch fresh nutmeg
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup sour cream or 1/4 cup creme fraiche
1/4 cup gruyere cheese or 1/4 cup swiss cheese, grated
fresh chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Coarsely chop/smash potatoes so that they are in small chunks (these are hash browns, after all); season with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
  • In an omelet pan or cast iron skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
  • Press potatoes into pan in an even layer; cook until underside is browned (potatoes will be fragrant and edges will start to look golden), about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Place potatoes in oven and cook until the top starts to brown, about 10 minutes (you want it to be stiff enough to flip without breaking).
  • Carefully flip onto serving dish (or back into pan).
  • Spread sour cream over the top, then sprinkle with cheese.
  • Set to broil and return to oven to brown the top, 2 minutes.
  • Garnish with chives (Jacques stuck them in a bunch, on end, in the center of the dish); serve in wedges.

These hash browns were a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I had some mashed potatoes from the night before, and I just grated them and added them to the skillet. They turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my hash browns turned out mushy. I think I might have grated the potatoes too finely.

These hash browns were the perfect side dish for my steak and eggs. They were crispy and flavorful, and they really complemented the other dishes.

I love that these hash browns are made with simple ingredients. I always have potatoes, onions, and butter on hand, so I can make them anytime.

These hash browns were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more seasoning next time.

I'm not a big fan of hash browns, but these were actually really good. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they had a great flavor.

Overall, I thought these hash browns were pretty good. They were easy to make and they tasted great. I would definitely make them again if I was looking for a quick and easy breakfast side dish.

I found that these hash browns didn't brown evenly. I had to keep flipping them in the pan to make sure they cooked all the way through.

These hash browns were a little too greasy for my taste. I think I would try using less butter next time.

I've always been a fan of hash browns, but these old-fashioned ones are my new favorite. The key is to use fresh potatoes and to grate them finely. I also like to add a little bit of onion and garlic for extra flavor.

These hash browns were a hit at my breakfast table! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the flavor was amazing. I loved that I could use simple ingredients that I already had on hand.
