I’ve always used breakfast hash browns for eggs benedict with bacon. While store-bought hash browns may be tempting, nothing beats the taste and texture of homemade hash browns.
Preheat the convection oven to 200°C (392°F). For a regular conventional oven, use 220°C (428°F).
Peel and wash the potatoes. Peel and wash the potatoes. Then, a grater or food processor is used to shred them into thin, even shreds. Season them with sea salt and pepper and let them stand for about 30 seconds.
Squeeze out any excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Pack the grated potato into steel rings or greased Texas-size muffin trays.
Place the compact grated potato onto a baking tray lined with a Silpat baking pad or parchment paper.
Remove the steel rings and place the tray in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them rest for 1-2 minutes.
Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add a generous amount of oil to the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the hash browns to the pan and cook them until they turn golden brown. Make sure to turn them so they are evenly colored on both sides.
To keep your hash browns warm, place them on a baking sheet in a low-temperature oven, around 95-110°C (200-225°F). This will prevent them from getting soggy and cold.
Chef’s Pro Tip — You can make the hash browns ahead of time and keep them in the refrigerator or freeze them. They can be reheated from frozen in the oven or defrosted and pan-fried.
If you want to add flavor and texture to your hash browns, consider adding diced onions, garlic, or chopped bacon. You can also try adding shredded cheese, fresh herbs, or even diced vegetables like bell peppers or shredded cabbage.
Making perfect hash browns from scratch requires choosing the right potato, shredding it evenly, and squeezing out any excess moisture.
Then, press the grated potato into steel rings or Texas muffin tins, cook them in a hot oven, and finish them off in a hot pan with a drizzle of oil. With practice and experimentation, you can make delicious and crispy hash browns every time.
