HASH BROWNS WITH ONION RECIPES

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.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss potatoes with onion, salt and pepper. In a small cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup potato mixture, pressing down to flatten with spatula. Cook, without stirring, until bottom is golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil; flip. Cook until bottom is golden brown, 4-5 minutes, sprinkling with 2 tablespoons cheese and 2 tablespoons bacon during the last minute of cooking. , Fold hash browns in half; slide onto plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Top with sour cream and green onions.
