Instructions
- Begin by grating the potatoes and placing them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible; this step is crucial for achieving the perfect crispy texture.
- In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it becomes foamy.
- Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until softened and fragrant, which should take about 5 minutes.
- Spread the grated potatoes evenly in the skillet. Allow them to cook undisturbed for approximately 10 minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy on the bottom.
- Carefully flip the potatoes using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 10 minutes until it becomes golden and crispy.
- Gently stir in the chopped lobster meat and cook for another 2 minutes, just until the lobster is heated through.
- Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste, and finish by sprinkling the fresh chopped chives over the top before serving.
Tips
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or Old Bay seasoning to the potatoes during cooking.
- Pair your Lobster Hashbrowns with a tangy lemon aioli for dipping. To make the aioli, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon minced garlic in a bowl.
- Feel free to substitute the lobster with crab or shrimp for a different but equally delicious seafood twist.
