🥘Ingredients

For the Hash Brownies

2 large potatoes, peeled and grated
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp vegetable oil

For the Cheesy Sauce

1 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tbsp butter
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2Peel and grate the potatoes, then finely chop the onion.
3Place the grated potatoes and chopped onion in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
4This step is crucial to ensure the hash brownies are crispy.
5In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, salt, and black pepper.
6Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
7The mixture should be slightly moist but not watery.
8If it is too dry, add a bit more egg.
9If it is too wet, add a bit more cheese.
10Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
11Add the potato mixture to the skillet and press down firmly with a spatula to form a compact layer.
12Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
13Flip the hash brown cake carefully and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and crispy.
14You should see the edges beginning to lift off the pan and the bottom should be a golden brown colour.
15While the hash brown cake is cooking, prepare the cheesy sauce.
16In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
17Add the flour and whisk to form a roux.
18Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is lightly browned and fragrant.
19Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
20Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
21Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper.
22Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
23Remove from heat and set aside.
24Transfer the cooked hash brown cake to a baking dish.
25Pour the cheesy sauce evenly over the top.
26Spread the sauce to ensure it covers the entire surface of the hash brown cake.
27Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the hash brown cake are crispy.
28The hash brownies should be golden brown and the cheese sauce should be bubbling around the edges.
29Remove the hash brownies from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
30This allows the cheese sauce to set slightly and makes it easier to cut and serve.
31Cut the hash brownies into squares and serve hot, with a side of sour cream or ketchup if desired.
32Enjoy your crispy, savory potato hash brownies.
