BREAKFAST HASH BROWNS



Breakfast Hash Browns image

I find this recipe simple and the aroma mmmmm. The secret making hash browns is to partially cook the potatoes first so they do not discolor when you cook them. The cheese in this recipe helps them hang together so you get a golden cake of hash browns not just broken up bits. Boil your potatoes ahead of time and it will only take 10-15 minutes to finish them at breakfast

Provided by Bergy

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb russet potato
1/4 teaspoon salt
pepper
1/2 cup cheddar cheese (mild, medium or aged your choice)
2 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled,optional
2 green onions

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes until just barely tender, set aside to cool so you can handle them.
  • Grate the potatoes.
  • Spray a non stick skillet with veggie oil and place half the potatoes in it, sprinkle with salt& pepper.
  • Top with cheddar, green onions& bacon.
  • Add remaining potatoes, pat down.
  • Turn heat to high and cook about 5 minutes, shaking pan to keep the potato cake loose.
  • Using a spatula lift edges carefully to see when the bottom is golden brown.
  • Place a plate over the skillet and invert the pan getting the potato cake out in one piece, brown side up on the plate.
  • Spray the skillet with oil again and slide the potato cake back into the pan uncooked side down.
  • Cook about another 5 minutes.
  • Slide back onto a plate and cut into wedges.

BREAKFAST MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH SAUSAGE AND HASH BROWNS



Breakfast Macaroni and Cheese with Sausage and Hash Browns image

The best part of this breakfast-inspired mac and cheese is the hash-brown topping. It couldn't be easier: Just thaw frozen hash browns and toss them with butter so they bake up golden and crispy.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
1 pound elbow macaroni
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound breakfast sausage, casings removed
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 small green bell peppers, chopped
2 1/2 cups half-and-half
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound cream cheese, room temperature
8 ounces sharp Cheddar, shredded (about 3 cups)
3 ounces Gruyere, shredded (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until it is al dente, about 6 minutes. Strain, reserving 1 3/4 cups of the pasta water. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until lightly browned, breaking up the meat with the back of a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Transfer the browned meat to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add the onions, 1 tablespoon water and a pinch of salt to the saucepan and cook until just starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes, scraping up any browned bits with the wooden spoon. Add the bell peppers and cook until lightly browned and softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the onion and green bell pepper to the plate with the browned sausage.
  • Carefully wipe out the saucepan (or give it a quick rinse if it is really dirty). Add the half-and-half and cayenne and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 15 minutes. Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Whisk in the Cheddar and Gruyere until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  • Add the macaroni and reserved pasta water to the saucepan and stir to combine. (The mixture will look very loose, but the pasta will suck up a lot of the sauce as it bakes.) Gently fold in the browned meat and vegetables and season with more salt if needed. Pour into a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Toss the hash browns with the melted butter and a pinch of salt and scatter over the macaroni and cheese. Bake until the cheese is bubbly and the hash browns are just starting to brown, about 10 minutes. Broil until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes.

Provided by Jones

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

cooking spray
4 cups frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and crisp all over, 35 to 45 minutes. Note that the top edges will brown very quickly and become very dark; you can cut that away it it becomes too dark.

Add thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; cook for 1 minute. Add sausage; cook and stir until crumbly and brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add bell pepper and mushrooms; cook until mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain any excess liquid from the skillet.
