Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, cubed
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into uniform 1/2-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
- Peel and dice the onion into small, consistent pieces to help distribute flavor evenly throughout the dish.
- Finely chop the fresh rosemary leaves, releasing their aromatic oils and ensuring maximum flavor infusion.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and is hot but not smoking.
- Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet in a single layer, allowing them to develop a golden-brown crispy exterior without overcrowding the pan.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- After 10-12 minutes, when potatoes start to turn golden, add the diced onions and continue cooking.
- Sprinkle the chopped rosemary over the potatoes and onions, stirring to distribute the herbs evenly.
- Cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish, allowing the hash to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Tips
- Use a cast-iron skillet for the best crispy exterior and even heat distribution.
- Pat potatoes dry before cooking to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Don't overcrowd the pan - this prevents steaming and promotes beautiful browning.
- Use fresh rosemary if possible; the flavor is far more vibrant than dried herbs.
- Cut potatoes into uniform sizes to guarantee even cooking.
- Medium-high heat is crucial for achieving that perfect golden-brown crust.
- Stir occasionally, but not too frequently - let the potatoes develop a crisp surface.
- For extra flavor, consider adding garlic or bacon bits to the hash.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature.
- Experiment with different potato varieties like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for varied results.
