Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Serves 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 lb potatoes
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp tomato purée
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 oz butter
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
-
Peel the potatoes, place them in boiling, salted water and cook for 5 minutes or until you can pierce them with a fork but they are still firm.
-
Drain the potatoes in a sieve.
-
Wait for the potatoes cool down enough to handle and grate everything. If you have a food processor, use it to save time.
-
Place the mince in a big mixing bowl and stir in the tomato purée and Worcestershire sauce thoroughly.
-
Add the grated potato to the bowl and mix the meat and potatoes so they are evenly distributed.
-
Melt the butter in a large heavy-based pan.
-
When the butter starts sizzling, add the meat and potato mixture, flatten it with a spatula and fry until the bottom side turns a gorgeous golden brown, then turn the mixture over, chunk by chunk. Season to taste.
-
When the hash browns mixture have turned golden and crispy all over and the meat is cooked, serve immediately.
