Red Flannel Hash Recipes

EASY RED FLANNEL HASH

Steps:

• In a heavy skillet melt together the butter and oil over medium heat; sauté the minced onion and potatoes for 5 minutes, only stirring once or twice, until the potatoes begin to develop a browned crust.
• Reduce the heat to low and add the canned hash, beets, and garlic and stir well.
• Press mixture back into the bottom of the skillet and evenly pour the beef broth over.
• Saute over low heat until mixture browns at the edges, about 30 minutes (check it to see if it's as crispy as you want it - if not, you can flip it, add some butter or oil, and crisp the other side, too).
• Fold browned hash by half and slide onto the serving platter.
• Top with poached or fried eggs and garnish with Parmesan and parsley, and serve (the recipe does not contain any salt or pepper, to allow each person to season to taste to their own preference; make sure to mention that to the folks you're serving).

RED FLANNEL HASH

Steps:

• Combine beef and vegetables.
• Heat lard or fat in a skillet; the pan should be well coated.
• Add hash and spread out to cover the bottom of the pan; add some broth to ensure it against sticking.
• Cook over low heat about 30 minutes.
• Traditionally, it is cooked like an omelet, without stirring; a bit of a crust forms on the bottom from the mixture of the vegetable starches and the fat.
• However, I've also had it cooked with stirring occasionally to keep it jumbled up.
• Serve hot.

RED FLANNEL HASH

Steps:

• Cook the onions: Heat butter in a frying pan (cast iron preferred) on medium high heat. Add the onions and cook a couple minutes, until translucent.
• When nicely browned, remove from heat: Sprinkle in some Worcestershire sauce, if using. Stir in fresh chopped parsley, if using, and sprinkle on freshly ground black pepper to taste. There should be enough salt from the corned beef, but if not, add salt to taste. Serve plain or with fried or poached eggs.

RED-FLANNEL HASH

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425. Rub the potatoes and beets with a bit of oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and wrap individually in foil. Put on a rimmed baking sheet, and roast until easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 40 to 60 minutes, depending on their size. (Remove as they are done.)
• Toss the onions in enough olive oil to coat. When the potatoes and beets are about halfway into their cooking time, add the onions to the pan, and roast, turning occasionally until they're tender but not caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Combine the crème fraîche and horseradish in a small bowl, and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste.
• Combine the asparagus, carrots, mint and greens in a bowl. Just before serving, drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 teaspoons lemon juice; add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and toss. Taste, and adjust the seasoning, adding more of whatever you'd like.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, crush them with your hands; peel and trim the beets, and chop to about the same size; same with the onions. Mix with the corned beef if you're using it, along with the scallions, cheese and some salt and pepper.
• Put 2 tablespoons each of olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot but not smoking, add the potatoes and beets, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Shake the pan to form a single layer, and cook undisturbed, but adjusting the heat as necessary so that the vegetables sizzle and bubble. Add more butter if the pan looks dry, but the hash should never look oily. Cook until the potatoes and beets are golden brown on the bottom, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Turn, taste, adjust the seasoning, then sprinkle with some lemon juice and salt. Serve topped with a fried egg and a bit more lemon juice, with the asparagus salad on the side.

RED FLANNEL HASH CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place beets on a large piece of heavy-duty foil. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons oil, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt; season with pepper. Fold foil and seal to form a packet. Place packet in oven, and roast until beets are tender, about 1 hour. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel beets with a paring knife or a vegetable peeler; cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 2 cups).
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon, and cook, stirring often, 4 minutes. Add leek, and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in beets and thyme, and cook 1 minute more. Transfer beet mixture to a large bowl, reserving skillet.
• Peel potatoes, and grate on the large holes of a box grater. Add potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt to the beet mixture, and toss to combine.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the reserved skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches of 4 and adding more oil if needed, drop 1/4 cup potato mixture into skillet. Gently flatten hash cakes with a spatula. Cook, flipping once, until cakes are just beginning to crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels as you work, and keep warm in a 200 degree-oven if desired. Serve with sour cream.

Steps:

• Break up the potatoes. Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan, then add the potatoes and corned beef and cook, turning the potatoes over with a fish slice every time they become crisp. After about 10 mins, when the potatoes are crisp all over, stir through the beetroot, then season. Turn down the heat, pat the potatoes into a cake, then leave to brown on the bottom. Invert onto a plate, then return to the pan until the other side is browned. Serve straight from the pan, or turn out onto a board and cut into wedges. Serve with the horseradish sauce.

RED FLANNEL HASH WITH EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Steam potatoes and beets in a steamer basket set over a pot of simmering water, covered, until easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 12 to 15 minutes; drain.
• Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Swirl in oil. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in butter until melted. Stir in garlic, potatoes, and beets until evenly coated; season with salt and pepper. Mash some potatoes against side of pan with the back of a spoon. Stir in pastrami and press mixture into bottom of skillet.
• Transfer hash to oven; roast until top is crisp in places, 20 to 25 minutes. Make 6 wells in hash with the back of a spoon. Crack 1 egg into each well. Return to oven; cook until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, 6 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, toss carrots, parsley, dill, and vinegar in a bowl; season with salt. Serve with salad, toast, and butter.

Steam potatoes until tender, about 13 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Place beets on steamer rack; steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to bowl with potatoes.
• Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towels and drain. Reserve 1 tablespoon drippings in skillet. Add bacon, onion, parsley, whipping cream, salt and pepper to vegetables in bowl. Heat drippings reserved in skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in hash mixture. Flatten with spatula to compact. Cook hash until brown on bottom, about 4 minutes. Continue cooking until heated through, stirring up bottom crust occasionally, about 10 minutes. Divide hash among 4 plates and serve.
