Hash Brown Recipe

I'm always searching for something different to attempt to cook, so dinner doesn't get repetitive and boring. I can only be one added extra item that can make the difference to a simple meal.

The other day I planned to make a cooked breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, mushroom and toast. Easy. Then I realized we had no bread, hmmmm... not a good start. What could do? All I needed was something stodgy to bring the breakfast together. Something to do with potato I considered but didn't feel like chips.

If only we had some hash browns, now that would be great. Then I googled the recipe to see how hard they would be to make and in fact they were actually very simple plus I had all of the ingredients.

Hash Browns (will make 4/6 hash browns depending on size)

Ingredients:

2 medium/large potatoes

1 white onion

1 egg

1 1/2 tbsp Plain Flour

Salt and Pepper to taste

Oil or butter for frying

What to do:

I first peeled then washed the potatoes. I used a tub grater to grate both potatoes and to catch it all. Then I finally chopped the onions.

Placing both potato and onion into a bowl or jug (or whatever you prefer to mix with), crack the egg into the mix then and the tablespoons of plain flour, add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Mix these all throughly together and that surprisingly is the basic mix.

 Heat up a frying pan on a medium heat, so as not to burn them and give time for the potato to cook through, with oil or butter depending on your taste (I used the pan from cooking the bacon, which I feel adds extra taste to them). Spoon the mixer into a frying pan. Leave to cook for five minutes then flip over to cook for a further five minutes. I gave mine a second frying on both sides to further brown them off again this all depends on preference, the longer you leave them the more crispy they become. Then they are ready to serve up with the rest of your cooked breakfast selection.

Cleaning tip:

Lay a piece 2 piece of kitchen roll in your cooling frying pan, cooking trays or grill to soak up the oil and fat. This saves less from getting down the drains and blocking it as it solidifies as it becomes cool.

Sharing...

Finally Updated and finished sharing all of my Instagram, Facebook, Twitter Post from the last 3 months. Can now move forward to produce some actual blog posts, as well as the shares. I will be delving into everyday life and the experiences and experiments I create for myself. From crafting to recipes to general walks and stuff I find interesting.

Updates

Apologies for the influx of blog posts. I didn't realize up until yesterday that I could link all of my social media posts together. These posts stretch all the way back to September when I spent the time to discover instagram. Being 31, we grew up with when technology was beginning to develop. So when I was 16 the first phone I got actually looked like a brick, no jokes.

The Bosch 509e

I thought it was cool but I never really used it that often, as it was just a phone to let my parents know my whereabouts and occasionally text someone. I was used to using the good old phone box to call my friends. 

So now I've treated myself to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

Another good brick size phone but so much more to do on it except call and text. I use this phone for everything and have a huge stock of photos and videos on it (which I'll come back to later).

Getting back to the influx of images and posts. Everyday there are new discoveries be them big or small and I am forcing myself to move from hidden pen and paper (I have notebooks galore) to typing these thoughts, ideas and creations to share with anyone who cares to read it and join me in my journey to expressing all of these above out loud rather then locked up where no one can see.
