Potato hash browns are an integral part to both, a classic English breakfast recipe as well as an American breakfast recipe. Serve immediately. Season well.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 800g (1 3/4 lbs) floury potatoes
- 30g (1 oz) butter
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes, place them in boiling, salted water and cook for 5 minutes or until you can pierce them with a fork but they are still firm.
- Drain the potatoes in a sieve.
- Wait for the potatoes cool down enough to handle and grate everything. If you have a food processor, feel free to use that to save time.
- Melt the butter in a large heavy-based pan.
- When the butter starts sizzling, add the potato mixture, flatten it with a spatula and fry until the bottom side turns a gorgeous golden brown, then turn the mixture over, chunk by chunk. Season to taste.
- When the potato mixture has turned golden and crispy all over, serve immediately.
Notes
- Traditionally, hash browns are formed into patties. Not this one, just to be a bit different. It’s almost like its Swiss counterpart, Rösti.
