Ingredients

5 medium baking potatoes, like russets (about 4 pounds), scrubbed
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup diced yellow onions
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Place the whole potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until half-cooked and almost tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let sit until cool enough to handle. Slip the skins from the potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch dice.

Heat the oil and melt the butter in a skillet over high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook, stirring, for 20 seconds. Add the potatoes, Essence, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook without stirring, but shaking the pan occasionally to keep from burning, until the potatoes begin to color and crisp on the underside, about 4 minutes. Turn the potatoes with a spatula being careful not to mash, and continue cooking until uniformly golden.

Remove from the pan and serve hot.

Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning):

2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

Yield: about 2/3 cup

Use this recipe to make corned beef hash
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

OMG, my wife had some leftover corned beef from a huge rueben sandwich she had for dinner last night, I fried some chopped... oniions (about 3 tbsp) and added the chopped up corned beef after sauteing the potatoes one time. I died and went to heaven... Just don't overdo the essence, it will otherwise overpower the taste of the corned beef.Read more

Yummy Brunch!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These potatoes came out great. We served them with brunch and everyone loved them. The essence is the secret that everyone... loved but couldn't figure out. These will be a regular item on our brunch/breakfast table.Read more

Tasty Taters
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family enjoyed this dish. The addition of the Essence and thyme gives the hash browns an added boost. It does serve a... LOT more than indicated, however. I cut the recipe in half and it served four with no problem.Read more

Excellent breakfast side dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These potatoes are unbelievable. Be careful not to overcook them when they're boiling. If they're overcooked when you saute... them, they turn to mush.Read more
