Best Onion Garlic Hash Browns Recipes

SHEET PAN HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray generously with cooking spray.
• Add potatoes and onion to a large bowl and stir well. Drizzle oil over the potatoes and stir until the potatoes are coated. Gradually sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over the potatoes, tossing to combine. Distribute potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet, but don't pack down.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hash browns are golden brown and crispy, 35 to 40 minutes.

HASHED BROWNS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large (10 to 12-inch) saute pan. Add the potatoes, onions, salt, and pepper and cook over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally with a flat spatula, until the potatoes are evenly browned and cooked through. (Allow the potatoes to cook for 5 minutes before turning.) Turn off the heat and add the parsley and scallions. Serve hot.

EMILY'S FAMOUS HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Rinse shredded potatoes until water is clear, then drain and squeeze dry. Place shreds in a bowl, and mix in the onion, flour and egg until evenly distributed.
• Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is sizzling hot, place potatoes into the pan in a 1/2 inch thick layer. Cover the whole bottom of the pan, or make separate piles like pancakes. Cook until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip over and brown on the other side. It should take at least 5 minutes per side. If you are cooking them in one big piece, it can be cut into quarters for easier flipping.
• Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

HASH BROWNS WITH PARSLEY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Grate the potatoes using the large holes of a box grater. Put into a large bowl of cold water, stir to remove the starch, drain and rinse. Put the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to remove excess moisture.
• Heat the butter and oil together in a 12-inch nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes in a single layer in the pan and cook until the underside forms a brown crust, 3 to 4 minutes. Begin to stir the potatoes and continue to cook until browned all over and cooked through. One minute before they're done, stir in the parsley and garlic. Serve immediately.

SOUR CREAM AND ONION HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the canola oil. Add the onions, season with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season the potatoes with salt and pepper and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain out the excess moisture.
• Set individual cast-iron pans over medium heat until very hot. Add some olive oil to each pan and a handful of the potatoes. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Flip and add more oil if necessary. Cook until golden brown on the second side and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• Top each hash brown with some caramelized onions and a dollop of sour cream and chopped scallions.

HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a saucepan of boiling water for 10 mins then drain and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Coarsely grate the potatoes into a bowl discarding any skin that comes off in your hand as you grate. Season well with salt and pepper and pour over half the butter. Mix well then divide the mix into 8 and shape into patties or squares. The hash browns can be prepared a day ahead and chilled until ready to cook or frozen for up to a month.
• To cook, heat the oil and the remaining butter in a frying pan until sizzling and gently fry the hash browns, in batches if needed, for 4-5 mins on each side until crisp and golden. Serve straight away or leave in a low oven to keep warm.

PERFECT HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Grate potatoes on the largest hole on a box grater into a medium bowl. Cover with cold water and drain; repeat once or twice, until water runs nearly clear. Taking small handfuls at a time, squeeze all the water from the potatoes and place in a dry medium bowl. Grate onion on the largest hole on a box grater and toss with potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Taking small handfuls at a time, squeeze all water from the potato-onion mixture. Heat 2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat or vegetable oil in skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl together.
• Add potatoes and onions and spread into a thin, even layer. Cook, without moving, until the potatoes are nearly cooked through and browned on one side, about 5 to 8 minutes. Using a spatula, flip sections of the potatoes to crisp on the other side. Add 1 tablespoon reserved bacon fat or vegetable oil and remaining 1 tablespoon butter and cook, without moving, until potatoes are browned on the other side, about another 5 minutes. Flip once or twice more (you don't have to be so careful here; just kind of stir them around) and continue to cook until most of the bits of potato are golden brown and crisped, about another 4 minutes.
• Transfer potatoes to a plate. Serve with hot sauce (or ketchup, if you wish).
