HASH BROWN SEASONING RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Make the umami stir fry powder (if desired): Toss all of the ingredients into a mini food processor or spice grinder. Blend to make a fine powder, scraping down the sides occasionally to make sure the dehydrated green onions are totally powderized. (This seasoning will keep in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.) 2. Make the hash brown fish: Grate the potatoes with a food processor or by using the large holes of a box grater. 3. Bundle the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel. Then, wring out the potatoes and discard the liquid. 4. In a large bowl, toss together the shredded potatoes, scallions and 1 teaspoon of umami stir fry powder or kosher salt. 5. Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the other teaspoon of umami stir fry powder or kosher salt on the fish fillets. 6. Heat a large cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat, and then add 2 tablespoons of oil or ghee to the hot pan. 7. Add two ?-cup mounds of potatoes to the pan and flatten them into rectangles, approximating the size of your fish fillets. 8. Smush a fish fillet onto each potato layer and cover each one with a thin layer of shredded potatoes. 9. Fry for 5 to 8 minutes or until the bottom layer of potatoes is crisp and golden brown. 10. Carefully flip the fillet packets over with a fish spatula and cook for another 5 to 8 minutes on the other side. 11. Once the other potato layer is nicely browned and the center of the fish registers 135?F on an instant-read thermometer, transfer to a plate. 12. Repeat steps 6 to 11 with the remaining fish and potatoes and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Coarsely grate the potatoes and onion into a clean tea towel and then squeeze out the excess liquid by twisting the towel. Place the mix in a large bowl.
• Add the egg, a good couple of pinches of salt and freshly ground black pepper (you need to salt the mixture well otherwise the hash browns can be quite bland). Mix the ingredients well.
• Heat a good glug of oil in a heavy based frying pan and when the oil is hot (but not smoking), add spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the pan and flatten into patties about 1cm/½in thick. Flip over once browned and crispy – about 2–3 minutes each side.
• Serve hot as a breakfast or supper side dish. Especially good with bacon and eggs.
