I'm making Roast Beef hash tonight, any suggestions?

[NMDemDist2]

hubby has never had hash and I have some lovely shoulder roast leftovers

what's your secret to great hash?

I plan to serve it with eggs and toast.

1. heavy cream

A recipe I remember from the cookbook "American Table" adds heavy cream, and then the mixture is baked to get that crispy crust.

3. Just pour a stick of melted butter over the top

If you're worried about the fat---Just serve that toast with some jam.

4. Yep. That is the secret ingredient

Whether you are talking roast chicken hash, turkey hash or roast beef hash.

Saute onions in butter (or whatever) in pan a few minutes until softened. Add cubed potatoes and seasonings (salt, pepper, thyme, garlic, parsley, etc,) Cover for about 12 minutes, turning once or twice, so as not to burn (this is "steam-frying"). Add (fully cooked) meat, stir in well. Pour cream over. Cover on low heat for a little while - 3-5 minutes. Take off cover. Wait til Cream bakes off pretty much. Flip in sections in pan. You should have nice browned, crusty sections of hash.

1/2 and 1/2 works too.

5. Invite me over?

I've only made corned beef hash (taters,onions, cabbage), but the secret was a splash of cider vinegar near the end of cooking to temper the cabbage flavor.
