Hash browns in the pan and then in the oven

[Just Cooking]

Well, that was what I meant by clarifying it. You have already done the melting it part. You don't really have to melt it for a while to make the solids separate, that pretty much happened when you were cooking the bacon. Straining them out is the last step.

Apparently there is a procedure, using water, to clarify bacon fat.

Interesting. I had no idea that's what that was called.

Interesting. I didn't mean it had to be that fancy, but this would probably work better. It seems to get out more impurities and avoids the necessity of a coffee filter to make sure to get all the little bits out. I may just give this a try. It probably keeps better.

in ISRAEL people will often prefer to make hash browns in the oven. it became more common.

but i think it is hard to put oil that way instead of the pan.
my idea is to start in the pan with oil and after a short time when the hash browns soaked some oil to transfer to the oven....
is this a good idea?

No, it is not a good idea because unless they are completely cooked, when you try to move them they will fall apart.

Make latkes instead of hash browns because they won't fall apart, and to eliminate the oil problem, use an air fryer.

Personally, I wouldn´t faff about clarifying bacon fat.
It´s bacon fat, it´s delicious, and if you add a few bits of bacon to your hash browns/rosti - all the better. In fact, just add a load of it!

Doesn't anyone else make hash browns with clarified bacon fat?

Seeing-to-Believe lives in Israel. I doubt very much he'll be cooking anything in bacon fat, clarified or not.
