Hash Browns

Heavens we love Hash Browns. Normally it’s only something we eat in hotels as part of a cooked breakfast. So naturally that’s not very often!  Molly always loves hash browns so I decided it was time to do some at home – egg free of course. Well, that was easy.  I expected more trouble for some reason, but it’s pretty straightforward and great as part of a cooked breakfast. If you can have eggs (sob) I imagine a poached egg would be rather lovely on top of a hash brown.

The best tip I can give is to parboil the whole potatoes first. If you use just completely raw potato you will get a nice hash brown, but it will be less soft in the middle. Also if you want perfectly shaped hash browns do go ahead and use a circular cookie cutter to get rounded edges. We prefer them a bit more ‘free form’ for two reasons – firstly its easier, and secondly the hash browns have little strings of potato at the edges that get super crisp.

We replace the egg with two things – a bit of corn flour, and a bit of flax. Using small quantities of each helps bind the potato together without compromising the taste.

Fabulous with breakfast. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Ingredients
  • 3 Large Maris Piper Potatoes Peeled
  • 1/4 white onion chopped finely
  • 1 tsp corn flour
  • 1 tsp flax meal mixed with 2 tsp water
  • Dairy free butter for frying
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and pop in a pot. Cover with water and bring up to a simmer. Once they have simmered for a minute or two take them out of the pot and dry them. You don’t want them cooked or soft. Allow to cool
Step 2
Chop the onion finely and put to one side
Step 3
Create the flax egg by mixing the flax and the water in a small bowl and leave to one side
Step 4
If you have a food processor with a grating blade use it to grate the potatoes, or grate by hand. When grated, pop all the potatoes onto a clean tea towel, fold the towel over and squeeze to get the water out
Step 5
Add the onion to a large bowl, add in the corn flour and the flax egg and mix
Step 6
Add in the grated potato and mix to combine
Step 7
Heat some dairy free butter is a non stick frying pan on a medium heat until sizzling. Grab some of the mixture and create the size of hash brown you want (palm size for us) and drop into the hot pan. Flatten with a spatula, and cook until golden on one side. Flip and cook on the other side. I put the oven on low (say 100 degrees) and keep the hash browns warm as I cook the rest. Do use dairy free butter – if you use oil you won’t get quite the same colour.

Easy Bean Salad

Easy Bean Salad

We love Bean Salad, its just a nice change from a green salad. Packed with protein and simple to do – a lot of opening of tins involved! A simple salad that’s great with a BBQ   If you’ve got a BBQ going and want something nice on it – do try these Duck Skewers.

Duck Skewers

BBQ Duck Skewers

The weather is fine, the BBQ is out and it’s time to pop something other than a sausage on the BBQ.  Skewers are always popular – I like to cut the meat into strips rather than chunks as it cooks more evenly. Duck is amazing on a BBQ – full of flavour and quick to […]

Coconut Chicken

Coconut Chicken and Pineapple

This is a lovely meal on the BBQ or under the grill. Cooking time is pretty short, about 15 minutes but you do need to marinate them for at least 3 hours, or even prepare them the night before.  Pineapple is a good fruit for these, as it’s solid enough to take the heat from […]
