To me the best hash brown in the world is the McDonalds Hash Brown. Nothing comes close. Its not really potato to be honest, it’s more an Oil and Flour song that features Potato.

The real Hash Browns of the world are not like that, they are all potato. A celebration of the tuber and one to me, that is not used enough. It’s easy to do, quick to whip up and can be flavored just how you want it.

Hash Browns should be the go to with a fry, there I said it.

Ingredients

  • 1 Large Potato (Washed)
  • 1 pinch Smoked Paprika
  • 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 pinch Oregano

Directions

Step 1. Wash the potato well. Then with a box grater, grate the potato into thick shreds.
Step 2. Place the shredded potato in a bowl and cover with cold water. Move the potato around in the water to extract as much starch as possible.
Step 3. Drain the potato and dry with paper towels or kitchen towel.
Step 4. Add the potato, cayenne, paprika, oregano into the bowl along with pinches of salt and pepper. Stir until all is incorporated.
Step 5. Put a pan on medium high heat and put in some oil/butter. Place the potato in and try to make it a flat layer with full contact to the pan.
Step 6. After 4-5 minutes, get a spatula under the hash brown and flip it over (Tilt the pan to assist with this).
Step 7. After another 4 minutes on the other side check the bottom of the hash brown and make sure it is as dark and crispy as you want it. It will cook away happily if you want to keep it on the pan.

The Easiest Roast Potatoes In The World

There is nothing like a roast on a Sunday. NOTHING. It bookmarks the week with an hour of food heaven followed by 2 hours of food coma. It is brilliant multi-national tradition that will make me feel home no matter where we are. The star of the roast is not the meat as most would assume, but the Roast Potatoes.

They are the talent that is overshadowed for no good reason. Think Slash in Guns’n’Roses or the obviously more talented Tails in the Sonic series. Making roasters can be a bit of bother, mostly because peeling potatoes is a punishment fit only for prisoners. So I came up with a peel free version that gives you the cruispyness and fluffyness. It is a huge win win.

Potato skin contains B vitamins, vitamin C, iron, calcium, potassium and other nutrients. Potato skin also provides lots of fiber, about 2 grams per ounce. So no peeling and keeping all those good nutrients?? Fantastic news.
