Waking up to the scent of breakfast hash can definitely make your morning right, but it can be even better if those hash browns aren’t just the typical ones. The truth is, there are no restrictions when it comes to hash browns. All you have to do is choose your starch, fillings and spices, then toss them together with an egg. Those are the only things that you need to have a scrumptious morning every day. If you haven’t thought about hash brown recipes lately, check out the suggestions below and see if you can do your own recipe this weekend.
Choosing Your Starch and Herbs
You don’t need to buy fresh vegetables all the time, especially if you have leftovers. Use those potatoes that you partnered with your roast last time instead of throwing them away. You can also use squash, pumpkin or parsnips if you like. Just about anything you have in your fridge that you find appealing is okay. After picking your starchy veggies, choose the right herbs and mix them together. Rosemary and thyme always blend with potatoes, but your Italian seasoning will work well, too. You can then add garlic, onions, leeks or shallots to make your hash more flavorful.
Fillings
You’re the boss when it comes to fillings. You can choose vegetables, meat or both to make your hash more delightful. Broccoli or cauliflower florets with butter will make your hash browns more tempting, but if you want something healthier, you can use olive oil instead of butter when softening your vegetables. As for meat, chopped ham or bacon can do wonders, but you can also opt for shredded chicken breasts if you’re on a diet.
Egg
After putting all the ingredients together, you need to use egg as a binder. You can either beat the egg and make tiny patties or add whole eggs on top after you’ve sauteed everything. You can put everything in an oven-safe container then bake for a few minutes to make the dish crispier.
These are the basic things that you need to know on how to make breakfast hash. Another secret that you should keep in mind is seasoning the ingredients in every step. For instance, when you mix the potatoes with the herbs, make sure that you put a bit of salt and pepper, same goes when you put the eggs. This will give the dish an equal amount of seasoning so there won’t be bland parts and tasty parts. Just follow your taste buds and you’ll surely make something great.
