What is Potato Hash?
May be you’ve heard of hash brown, but have no idea what is ‘potato hash’?
‘Hash’ is a word derived from French ‘hacker’, means hack or chop. So, if literally translates ‘hash brown'(or ‘hashed brown’) would be fried chopped potato.
If you search on google, you will notice ‘hash’ is a culinary dish. Usually it is consisted of some cooked meat and fried potatoes, some may put an egg on top also.
This recipe is adapted from Jamie Oliver. I followed his recipe using both sweet potato and potato. The colour looks nice, and the sweet potato offers sweetness too.
I only changed 2 things.
First, instead of thyme, I used rosemary which was the only herb I had on hand; Second, I added a bit butter into it to bring out more golden colour and fatty flavour. I find it works well! So feel free to modify to your taste, change to other herbs or so. Potato is a very easy going vegetables. You can’t go wrong with it!
