Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 20 min.

Pan-baked hash brown (Hash-brown casserole) : Stage 1

Peel and wash 800 g potatoes.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 10 min.

Pan-baked hash brown (Hash-brown casserole) : Stage 2

Grate the potatoes fairly coarsely, by hand or machine, then place in a large bowl of cold water. The water will turn cloudy as the potatoes release their starch.

Stir the whole lot well and change the water (or leave the tap running) until all the starch has been removed.

We remove the starch to prevent the potatoes sticking during cooking.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 10 min.

Pan-baked hash brown (Hash-brown casserole) : Stage 3

Drain the potatoes thoroughly and leave on a tea-towel to wait.

If you want to do this more efficiently, use a salad spinner.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 5 min.

Pan-baked hash brown (Hash-brown casserole) : Stage 4

Prepare and chop 50 g onion.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 5 min.

Pan-baked hash brown (Hash-brown casserole) : Stage 5

Grate 200 g cheese (Cheddar for the authentic version).

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).

Stage 6 - ⌛ 2 min.

Pan-baked hash brown (Hash-brown casserole) : Stage 6

Choose a large non-stick pan that can be used in the oven. Melt 30 g butter on medium heat.

When hot, add the chopped onion, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 or 2 minutes while stirring, without colouring.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 3 min.

Pan-baked hash brown (Hash-brown casserole) : Stage 7

Tip in the grated potoatoes and stir well.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 3 min.

Pan-baked hash brown (Hash-brown casserole) : Stage 8

Add the grated cheese, then pour in 125 ml milk, 125 ml liquid cream and 1 chicken stock cube.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 7 min.

Pan-baked hash brown (Hash-brown casserole) : Stage 9

Add a little more salt, plenty of pepper and mix well.

Bring to the boil.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 1 min.

Pan-baked hash brown (Hash-brown casserole) : Stage 10

As soon as it boils, transfer the pan to the oven...

Stage 11 - ⌛ 40 min.

Pan-baked hash brown (Hash-brown casserole) : Stage 11

... and bake for 40 minutes.

The hash brown will bake into a sort of large cake. Check for the colour of the top and - most important - the underneath, which should be golden brown.

Remarks

You can serve this American style, with fried eggs and bacon for example, or in a more classic French style with a good green salad and vinaigrette dressing. Why not try both together?

The typical cheese to use is Cheddar, but any fairly hard cheese you like will do.

Keeping: A few days in the fridge in a sealed container. Reheat, preferably in the oven.

Sushi

Sushi is probably the best known element of Japanese cooking outside Japan. For the Japanese it's a culinary art learned over time from masters, but we can make simplified and easier sushi which are still pretty and delicious. The most common types of sushi are nigiri: a little oval-shaped mouthfuls of rice topped with raw fish, and maki: a nori seaweed roll filled with rice and other delicious ingredients.
