Preparing potatoes

Scrub the potatoes.  Choose waxy potatoes like most red and white potatoes because they stay relatively firm, making them best for this recipe.

You can peel the potatoes if you like but I keep most of the peel on, removing just the ends and any imperfections before slicing into 1/2-inch cubes.

Be sure to keep the cubes uniform in side for even cooking.

Melt the butter in a large skillet pan. The rich color is from Kerrygold butter given to me in a food gift package. You can use regular butter as I usually do.

Add the potatoes, onions, salt, and pepper and cook over medium-low heat turning occasionally with a flat spatula. Allow the potatoes to cook for the first 5 minutes without turning to encourage browning.

See how nice the potatoes are beginning to brown. Using the turner in an inverted position helps to scrape the potatoes keeping the nicely browned edges intact.

Hashed Browns

Slightly adapted from Ina Garten

PRINT RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 pounds boiling potatoes, 1/2-inch diced (peeled or unpeeled)
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions (2 onions)
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons minced chives 

DIRECTIONS

Melt the butter in a large skillet pan.
Add the potatoes, onions, salt, and pepper and cook over medium-low heat turning occasionally with a flat spatula.
Continue cooking until the potatoes are evenly browned and cooked through. Give the potatoes 5 minutes before turning the first time. 
When the potatoes are tender and browned to your desired color, remove heat sprinkle on the parsley and chives.
Serve hot.

Recipe notes:

  • If your skillet is a bit small and the potatoes are deep, it may take a little longer to get them to tender. Adjust time slightly.
  • The darkness is a preference. We like our hashed browns a little darker so I notch up the temp toward the end of the cooking time. Keep a close watch so they don’t get too browned.

    I love all of Ina's recipes. And I've actually made this one before and yes, it is so good. Ina used to have a store in East Hampton and I had the opportunity to visit it. She had a display case with so many of her foods that you could purchase. Most of the items are now recipes in her cookbooks.

    Oh, yum! I have only ever had hash browns from a restaurant before (I know- horrible). I don't know why, as they seem really easy to make. I like the addition of scallions in this recipe- I'm sure it adds a little something special.

    I have never seen this recipe for hash browns..and MY John loves them too. He likes his "crispy" though so I would have to brown them heavily. They look great- xo Diaan

    My family also enjoyed breakfast for dinner occasionally. When we were kids, there was a restaurant in Atlanta (about 30 min. away) that specialized in hash browns and they were such a treat. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe!
