Carrot Potato Hash

Published July 10,2020, by Ivan

Carrot Potato Hash is a tasty side dish. It pairs perfectly with so many meals. The caramelized carrots, onion, and garlic are so savory and sweet. The fried potatoes provide that addictive crunch and creamy interior.

The first time I had this side dish was at Ruth Chris Steakhouse. I loved it. And I knew I had to make it at home. But it didn’t taste the same until I focused on the caramelization of the ingredients and cooking the potatoes as a separate item. So let’s get started.

INGREDIENTS (2 Servings)
1 Red Potato (cubed)
1 Garlic Clove (chopped)
1 Tbsp Planters Peanuts (crushed)
1/3 Cup Carrots (chopped)
1/4 Cup White Onion (chopped)
1/2 Bacon Strip (Par Cooked Bacon)
1/2 Tbsp Vegetable oil or Bacon fat
Salt and Pepper to taste

How to make Carrot Potato Hash

1. I have a red potato and my mirepoix bag. My mirepoix bag is full of fresh vegetable scraps left over from recent recipes. The mirepoix bag makes food preparation a snap. I am using a red potato, but you can use whatever potato you prefer.

2. Wash, peel, and cube the red potato. Rinse the potatoes in a bowl with cold water until the water becomes clear, then add a little salt to the water to keep the potatoes from oxidizing. Leave the potatoes in the bowl of water until you are ready to cook them. Crush and chop one clove garlic. In my recipe, I am using 1 Tbsp crushed peanuts and 1/2 slice chopped par-cooked bacon. The peanuts and bacon pair well with garlic. Slice up to 1/3 cup carrots and 1/4 cup white onions.

3. Rinse the potatoes in a bowl with cold until the water becomes clear, then add a little salt to the water to keep the potatoes from oxidizing. Leave the potatoes in the bowl of water until you are ready to cook them. Dry the potatoes just before cooking.

4. Lubricate a small frying pan with a few drops of vegetable oil or vegetable spray. Heat the frying pan at 1/4 power on your electric stove, which is roughly 180°F. Add the peanuts and chopped par-cooked bacon. Once the bacon starts to crisp, then add the carrots, garlic, a dash of salt and pepper. Stir the ingredients frequently. Reduce the heat once the garlic turns golden brown to stop further cooking.

5. Warm a second frying pan to 1/3 power on your electric stove. Add a 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil and a 1/2 tsp butter to the warm pan, then add the cubed potatoes after they have been rinsed and dried. Stir the potatoes, then lid the frying pan so the potatoes can steam.

6. Once the potatoes are fork-tender, then remove the lid so the potatoes can fry to a golden brown color at 1/3 power on the electric stove. Add a couple of drops of oil or butter if needed to reduce sticking, but the lower temperature should keep the potatoes from sticking to the pan. Taste the potato to determine that it has the level of crunch that you prefer. Keep the potatoes warm.

7. Make sure the carrots and onions are lightly browned. The browning will caramelize the vegetables and create sweetness. A restaurant trick at this point is to add a pinch of sugar, but this is optional.

8. Add the fried potatoes to the carrots and onions. Mix everything well and remove any excess oil. Keep the Carrot Potato Hash warm and uncovered until plating.

Plating: Garnish will fresh dill and serve for breakfast with ketchup, or dinner with sour cream. Remember to share your recipes.
