Well Well, Do Tell
I wondered "why" that particular hot sauce, and know I know.
I do like Texas Pete, but not so much on hash browns unless they are lousy like Two Dog Flats offering.
My hash browns are, even I do say so, superb without anything added when served from the pan.
Well maybe some fresh ground black pepper.
I put TexasPete on scrambled eggs made by anyone except
me since I'm quite picky about my scrambled eggs.
Or, if
forced for some reason to eat any version of a friend egg(like back in US NAVY times)
Then TexasPete becomes an absolute necessity to get them down.
Hash Browns
my way
Use the little golden new potatoes which are sold under various names.
Dice them into roughly 1/2 inch pieces--no need for a ruler though
Sauté with chopped shallots in butter(ghee works too) until nicely browned.
I'm a garlic fan so I add finely chopped garlic about 10 minutes or so before they potatoes are browned.
Take care not to burn the shallots or the garlic! Burning either results in a really nasty taste.
If in a hurry nuke the diced potatoes. This reducing time in the pan and helps to keep shallots and garlic from burning...
Onions of your choice can be substituted for the shallots, if you're too cheap to buy shallots.
