Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
1 cup bacon lardoons
1 medium shallot, sliced
1 egg white
4 green onions, roughly chopped
2 sprigs thyme, leaves picked
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Peel potatoes and wash. Use a mandolin, or food processor with the grater attachment to finely shred potatoes. Place in a kitchen towel and squeeze dry.

Take a 9-inch oven proof skillet and add bacon and sliced shallots. Set over medium heat and render fat, 4 to 5 minutes. Shallots will caramelize. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon and shallots and put in a large mixing bowl (reserve the bacon fat and pan) with potato slices, egg white, green onions, and thyme leaves and season well with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Spoon mixture into the hot pan with the bacon fat. Pack it in well pressing down with a large spoon to compress the mixture a little. Drizzle the top with some extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. When it starts to get golden brown and crispy around the edges flip the hash brown over and pop into the oven to bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before running a knife around the edges and then inverting the potato onto a cutting board. Slice into wedges, garnish with chopped flat leaf parsley and serve.

Hash Browns
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Love Your show. This is a first for me. Turned out great. The work was in the grating of the potatoes. Did not use food... processor:( I did not have enough fat from the bacon so I added some chicken stock (1/3 cup) Also added some shredded cheddar cheese. Before baking in oven, decorated with six strips of bacon. Had to watch my creation when flipping. Broke up a little. Next time will spray sides of the pan also. This is a keeper. Keep cooking and sharing. MsjazzyRead more

For those having trouble
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

There are a few tricks that help when making hash browns. After grating, put potatoes in a strainer and rinse potatoes to... remove starch. Soak in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove more starch and rinse again. Squeeze potatoes with a towel and dry in another towel. This is very important. A cast iron pan always works best with hash browns because it retains the heat evenly. Start with a really hot pan with the vegetable oil really hot. Pack the potatoes well and turn the heat down to about medium high but closer to medium than high. I turn them on a plate, add more vegetable oil and once it's hot brown the other side of the potatoes. You don't need to use the oven. Another trick is to partially cook the potatoes by boiling in their jackets, cool overnight, and grate.Read more

Recipe a little different from show...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I just watched the show and noticed that Tyler said to wipe out the pan and then add a little EVOO before adding the potato... mixture. He said to make sure the pan is hot so the potatoes will caramelize. He also sets the oven at 450 degrees, rather than 425. And...be sure you wring out the potatoes really well! I'd bet he got 1-2 cups of water from them, and I'm sure it will make a difference in how the hash browns turn out. I hope this helps anyone who is having trouble! Read more

Great method
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I used this method of cooking the hash browns in a well seasoned cast iron skillet and it turned out perfect. After grating... the potatoes, I rinsed the starch out and wrung them dry in a kitchen towel. Be sure and brown them on the first side and they will slide out easily.Read more

VERY TASTY
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Tried this receipe a couple of months ago with, very good results. My husband who, hates hash browns, loved this dish. It is... a bit tricky, but if you watched the episode on TV you should get the idea. Drying the potatoes is crucial to achieving good crust. Leaving the pan alone once mixture is in, without poking at it frequently is another. As Tyler said, "The potatoes will let you know when to turn them." Read more

Dry your potatoes!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Those of you who are ending up with a greasy mess, or potato stuck to the pan: make sure you dry your potatoes thoroughly. ... Best to wash them and drain them, too, then put them in a paper towel and dry them, or else the extra moisture and starch coating will keep them from cooking properly, and will make them stick to the pan (even with oil).Read more
