Equipment

  • 12 inch cast iron skillet
  • Fish Spatula
  • Cheese cloth or thin dish cloth

Ingredients

Hash Browns

  • 2 medium yellow potatoes (about 3 cups, skin-on)
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp butter (unsalted)

Toppings

  • 4 strips thick cut bacon (cooked)
  • 2 large eggs (fried)
  • 1/2 cup kimchi (not overly ripe but good for table eating)

Instructions

  • Grate potatoes on a box grater. Optional: soak in cold water for 30 minutes. When ready to cook, place in cheese cloth or thin dish cloth. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

  • Add potato to a clean bowl and add onion powder, salt, and pepper. Fluff up with fingers and mix thoroughly.
  • Heat oven to 350F/17C. Heat cast iron skillet on medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add olive oil and butter to the pan. When the butter melts, sprinkle grated potatoes in an even, 1/2 inch layer all the way to the edges of the pan. Do not disturb! Do not touch! Cook until the first side is crispy and golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. (Slide spatula under the center of the hash brown and lift, checking for color.)

  • Flip hash browns, using a large fish spatula. If the extra starch was not rinsed away, it should stay together in one "pancake." Cook until second side is golden brown, about 2-3 more minutes.

  • "Dry" the potatoes in the oven at 350F for 5 minutes. This is the last step that ensures the crispiest hash browns ever!
  • Add toppings of choice. Mine are kimchi (of course), bacon, and eggs. Eat immediately with lots of hot sauce!

Notes

* To make the timing work: I start cooking the bacon before I grate the potatoes. When the bacon is crispy and done, I set aside on a platter at the back of the stove to keep warm.? I start frying the eggs after I flip the hash browns to the second side.?
