Purple Hash Browns Recipe
What you’ll need:
• 4 purple potatoes
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
• A pinch of white pepper (optional)
• 1 tablespoon dehydrated onion flakes
• Eggs
• Oil for frying
⸻
Let’s make it:
1. Peel and Rinse Potatoes:
• Peel the purple potatoes.
• Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
2. Parboil
• Boil the peeled potatoes whole for about 6–7 minutes until just slightly tender.
• Let them cool completely (refrigerate for 30–60 minutes if possible) – this helps the texture.
3. Grate the Potatoes:
• Once cooled, grate the parboiled potatoes using a coarse grater.
4. Mix the Ingredients:
• In a bowl, combine the grated potatoes, cornstarch, salt, pepper, onion flakes and eggs.
• Mix gently – don’t overwork or it’ll get gummy.
5. Form the Hash Browns:
• Shape the mixture into oval patties (about 3–4 inches long and ½ inch thick)
6. Freeze extra patties if desired.
7. Fry:
• Heat vegetable oil in a pan to 350°F
• Fry patties for 3–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
• Drain on paper towels.
Purple hashbrowns are not only visually striking but also packed with nutritional benefits due to the antioxidants found in purple potatoes. These antioxidants, including anthocyanins, help reduce inflammation and support heart health. When making purple hashbrowns, it's essential to parboil the potatoes before grating to achieve the ideal texture — tender inside and crispy outside. The recipe’s addition of cornstarch and eggs acts as a natural binder, ensuring the patties hold together well during frying. To elevate your breakfast, pairing these hashbrowns with crispy cooked bacon adds a smoky flavor contrast, while ripe avocado slices contribute a creamy texture and healthy fats. Topping your meal with seasonings like Einstein Bagels Everything Seasoning brings an extra layer of savory taste, and a drizzle of sriracha or ketchup adds a spicy-sweet kick. For those who want to prepare in advance, forming the hashbrowns into patties and freezing them allows for quick cooking later. Simply fry frozen patties in hot oil until golden brown. Additionally, you can customize this versatile recipe by adding ingredients such as shredded cheese, chopped herbs, or sautéed onions to tailor it to your taste. Remember to drain the hashbrowns on paper towels after frying to reduce excess oil and maintain crispiness. This colorful, nutritious, and easy-to-make breakfast will energize your morning and impress your family or guests with its unique purple hue and delicious flavor combination.
