Spuds are freaking awesome. My personal favorite way to have them, which I only have like once a year, is hash browns.
I almost want to put spoiler tags around this.
Willravel's Stupidly Overcomplicated Hash Browns
2 Russet potatoes, grated as thickly as possible
1 cup of real duck fat
1 tsp real truffle oil
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped
kosher salt and white pepper, to taste
Grate your potatoes into a large container full of cold, filtered water. Soak for 15 minutes and then drain. It's very important that you dry off the potatoes as completely as possible. I use a tea towel, squeezing the contents seriously.
In a very large pan or on a restaurant type of griddle, melt down the duck fat until it gets to be about 320 degrees. being careful to spread out the potatoes as much as possible, spread out the potatoes (did I mention to spread them out?) into the pan or onto the griddle. Move around at about 1 minute, 30 seconds in (or about halfway done) and sprinkle the trufle oil and rosemary over the potatoes. At 3 minutes total, remove the potatoes to a paper towel to drain a bit. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy with smoked salmon and/or eggs.
