Default Making hash...

IMHO Hash for breakfast is an excellent way to use up extra potatoes, no
matter how they were cooked. I generally use cubed up baked, nuked,
steamed (or whatever) spuds, eggs, onions and corned beef, spam, ham or
bacon (some kind of cured meat) and fry it up all together.

Chop up a fresh onion and fry it in Olive oil until it begins to brown.
Add cured meat and pre-cooked cubed spuds. Warm all that well then set
aside. Cook eggs separately in some olive oil (or bacon grease), make
scrambled eggs with them and break them up into large chunks. Add to
the other ingredients.

Serve.

This is how I make it. How do you?

I imagine some bell pepper would work with this but I don't always care
for it.

Thank you! I was beginning to think I was the only one who knew how
to cook hash browns or O'Brien potatoes in this group.

I prefer shredded. My husband used to make awesome hash browns from
raw, shredded potatoes. He doesn't do that anymore now that he's
limiting every speck of fat intake.

I don't like a lot of junk in my hash browns. The only variation I
love is latkes.

Grease is what you put on an axle. Bacon fat is what is used in
cooking.

Hash does not have to be fatty. You can use a lean, low fat meat and
egg beaters. :-) Potatoes are not, by themselves, high in fat?
I wonder if you can cook hash browns in "Promise" or some other fat
substitute?

Promise? Last time I bought it it was margarine and as fat as butter or
oil. How about using a non-stick spray if you want to cut the fat.

Leftover chuck roast or corned beef, chopped fine. Pre-cooked spuds (I
prefer mine boiled, small dice.) Onion, sure. This is one thing where I
don't add garlic and I definitely don't add bell peppers. Taste for salt &
pepper. Pan fry the lot; doesn't have to be olive oil. I can make several
meals of meat & potato hash all by itself. No adding eggs or anything else.
YMMV

Home fries are cubed and fried with minced onion and garlic. Hash browns
are shredded and fried crispy. Just IMHO, of course

I won't argue with that. :-) Just a suggestion for some people.
Personally, I am not afraid of butter! But, I don't have cardiovascular
disease so don't have to worry about it...

Most of the time, I cook with Olive Oil.

Om is a fellow southerner and it's called Bacon Grease here. Live with it.

Again, you will not succeed in re-writing American English cooking terms
because you do not like them. Hash browns in the south may be shredded or
small cubes. Technically it's called 'potatos O'Brian if certain additives
are made.

Yes, it will work. Olive Oil works well. I use that with a bit of bacon
grease, or duck fat (rendered) or if out of bacon grease and duck fat, I
normally add a little butter for the flavor.

Don makes his in straight olive oil usually. It's not the super virgin
stuff but the simple bertoli's and it's like that we use.

Fat is fat as far as he's concerned. Neither one of us like the kind
of hash you're talking about anyway. I was just talking about hash
browns.

Bacon grease and cubed hash browns. Well I guess the south is
different after all.
For the rest of the world, bacon fat and grated hash browns work quite
well.

Funny how I interpreted the sentence. I read it that Promise is a fat
substitute. :-/

Bertoli's is good. So is pompeian.

Whatever floats your boat. :-) If you don't like it, don't make it!
That's one of the joys of being an adult. I can eat what I like!

My childhood was not fun on that aspect. It's why I get so defensive
when people talk about making kids eat stuff they don't like, I will
never forget and I will never forgive... There are still some foods I
will not eat due to that shit!

I don't consider "promise" to be a real food. <g> Margarine either!

Snicker, I think I did! Next he tried to tell the world that there is only
one kind of 'hash browns'. Ah well, Thread is actually about Hash which
traditionally is a meat and potato mix (meat often pre-cooked and minced
fairly fine) added together and often pan fried in a bit of grease to make a
patty. I suspect english origins of that dish.

You see 'hash' in the south but not that often. Often called 'corned beef
hash' (the most popular meat is corned beef) it's more of a nothern thing I
think but mst southerners would have at least heard of it and probably tried
it at least once.

Both work for me and are our general oil used for everything. I mix it with
butter in many cases where I need the cholestrol reduction and it works
well.

It always has been. Just like 'Home Fries' arent even remotely related to
the above

I use straight Olive oil most of the time, but there are some dishes
where I do mix the two. I agree they are compatible. ;-d I also use
grapeseed oil. I used to use a lot of coconut oil but have ceased that.
It is just too sweet. And the health benefits are questionable...

Grease is what you put on an axle. Bacon fat is what is used in
cooking.

So, if a recipe called for greasing and flouring a pan, you'd have to run to
the garage, right?

Right. That is exactly what an idiot would think and do.

"Corned beef hash"........ (SHUDDER!!!!!)..... it used to be a main stay
in the 24hr rat-paks we got..... I always used to try and trade it off.

But you're right about the hash v hash browns.

I had hash browns at a Denny's in Perris once...... a handful of grated
potato thrown on the grill.


Then there was the Kiwi 'hangi' we went to that served corned beef hash.
Shredded corned beef in a pot with a whole pile of cabbage, butter and
salt and pepper, then cooked underground till everything in the pit was
cooked.

Tasted *damn* nice!!


So to try and say there is only *one* hash/hash brown, is pretty silly....
or a good troll.

I didn't know that two Daves would fit on one nit and still be able to
pick it.
