Hash browns are quick to cook straight from frozen, but they are even tastier when cooked fresh and useful for using leftover potatoes. With just a handful of ingredients required to make hash browns, these delicious crispy triangles are added to a cooked breakfast or alongside a crispy bacon sarnie on a weekend morning. For extra flavour and crispiness, food expert Matthew McDermid suggests adding another British fry-up staple: black pudding.
Matthew of Bury Black Pudding Company told Express.co.uk: "Adding black pudding to your hash browns adds a unique contrast in texture to the crispiness of hash browns.
Black pudding has such a delicious, dense quality that complements the texture of the potatoes." The food expert continued: "Not to mention, flavour-wise, black pudding is savoury and rich, which pairs perfectly with the milder base of a hash brown. "The rich, earthy taste of black pudding elevates the whole dish, giving it an umami-packed punch that balances out the more neutral potato flavours.
It also adds a hint of smokiness, which can enhance the overall profile of the meal." Matthew also said it has nutritional benefits: "So, while hash browns may feel like a nice treat breakfast, the addition of black pudding helps to level it up nutritionally. Low in fat, and high in key minerals like zinc and iron, it’s a delicious way to get a load of dietary benefits into your meals", he said.
