Harissa Spiced Hash Browns
Elevate the standard hash browns with this harissa spiced version. They've got a bit of sweet heat with the use of sweet potato and dried harissa seasoning.
Ingredients
- 2 small russets
- 1 small sweet potato
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil of choice
- 1 teaspoon dried harissa seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Using the large grate on a hand grater, grate potatoes until shredded. Alternatively, a food processor fitted with the shred blade can be used to shred potatoes.
- Fill a medium bowl with lukewarm water and place shredded potatoes in the bowl to soak for 5 minutes. This will help remove excess starch and allow the potatoes to get that crispy crust upon frying.
- Using a clean linen towel or paper towels, drain potatoes then place them in the towel to squeeze out all excess moisture. Place potatoes in a dry mixing bowl and add all seasonings. Mix together until potatoes are well combined with the seasonings.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet with 3 tablespoons cooking oil over medium heat. Once warmed, add seasoned potatoes in a single layer.
- Using a spatula, press potatoes into an even layer. Allowing the potatoes to sit undisturbed, cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 4-5 minutes. Flip potatoes with spatula and brown the opposite side, about 4-5 minutes longer. Remove and drain on a paper towel–lined plate. Enjoy immediately.
