Sweet Corn Hash and other Dad-friendly Foods

June 17, 2011 by Joy the Baker 124 Comments

Here’s the plan:  breakfast!

Here’s the second plan:  dice up potatoes, toss it with stuff, and call it hash.

Here’s the other part of the first and second plan:  serve it to someone you love.  Maybe that’s your dad.  Maybe that’s your handsome husband.  Maybe it’s that dude who takes your trash bins in just because he’s nice.

Here’s another important part of the plan:  parsley and butter… they should go in pretty much everything (except probably cupcakes).

dad and me

This is Dad and me.  I know because my mom put a sticker on this… one of my favorite photos.  My Dad is the best man I know.  I also love those jeans…  I wish he still had those so I could borrow them.

But seriously… best man I know. Thanks for being that guy, Dad.

Other Dad-friendly foods include:

Dad’s Buttermilk Biscuits & Dad’s Buttermilk Pancakes & Dad’s Perfect Sweet Potato Pie

See a theme here?  Yea.

I’m obsessed with these assorted new potatoes.  I like when food is pretty.

Corn is out of control right now.  It tastes like candy.

Parsley still tastes like parsley though… not candy… be cool.

Corn nibblers.

Listen… it’ll go all over the kitchen floor as you slice it off the cob.  It just will.  Hopefully your cat eats corn.

Mine does.  Weird.

IMG_4419

This breakfast side is super simple and versatile.

New potatoes are roasted in the oven with olive oil, salt, and pepper.  Onions are grilled in cast iron.

Fresh corn gets cut from the cob and a handful of parsley is chopped.

Potatoes and onions get engaged, married, and move into the cast iron skillet together.  Potatoes makes onions get rid of her couch that he hates.

Corn and parsley come over.  They bring their friend butter… and everyone lives happily ever after, in the belly.

Serve with scrambled eggs.

Real life. This is mine.  Welcome to it.

Sweet Corn Hash

serves 2

Print this Recipe!

1/2 to 1 pound potatoes, cut into chunks  (as many as you and your guest would like to eat)

olive oil, salt, and pepper

1 small or 1/2 of a large onion, diced

2 fresh ears of sweet corn

1/4 cup chopped parsley

2 tablespoons butter

salt and pepper to taste

Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Place potatoes on baking sheet, and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.  Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and cooked through.

While the potatoes are cooking, saute onions in a cast iron skillet, over medium heat until tender and browned.  Turn off heat and set aside until potatoes are done baking.

Slice corn off the cob and chop parsley.

When potatoes are done baking, remove from the oven and place in the cast iron skillet with the onions.  Cook over low heat.  Add corn and remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, salt, and pepper.  Toss until butter is melted and corn is just warm.

Remove from heat.  Toss in parsley and serve.

This hash lasts, in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 4 days.  It’s delicious.

    Hi! First time commenter but long time reader. You are hilarious, I like that. And I love that pic of you and your dad!

    My hubs and I made that other hash you posted a little bit ago – with spinach and potatoes and sausage and stuff! It was super tasty! Except we only had this weird maple flavored sausage my hubs had bought, so I imagine it would have tasted even better with normal sausage!

    Well anyway. I love your blog and thought it was about time that I told you so!

    Also, can I add that I would’ve never guessed that you were bi-ethnic!!! Very cool. My daughter is bi-ethnic (Euro-Asian) and she looks nothing like her daddy. All mommy and very Asian. I love her to pieces! However, she’s already constantly critiqued by her bi-ethnic make-up. I wonder how she’ll handle it growing up. Did you ever have to “handle” the constant critique for being bi-ethnic? Just curious.

    …Your Dad is very handsome and I love that photo of the two of you – sweet! :o)

    …Also, not to be a buzz kill here but can you do this with can corn or frozen corn *gasp* I know, but I would like to make this in the morning and I don’t have any corn on the cob. And besides I’m in my pj’s and I don’t wanna make a run out to the local WalMarts…altho’ I’m sure if I went there in my pj’s I’d fit right in anyway…*sigh*giggle* And our local Farmer’s Market only operates for 3 hrs. one day a week. I know, welcome to Podunk, Missouri. :o)

    …Once again, you’ve wowed us with yet another Joy da Baker recipe! Thank you! :o)

    …I love that last photo – patient boy, thrift dress, crooked table and all!

    …Blessings all… :o)

      i bet frozen corn would be a good bet for this recipe. canned corn might be odd.

      I made it with canned; it was delicious! But I like the taste of canned in the first place. Also, I bought the no-salt-added kind.

    Joy, you rock my socks. This is just what I needed. I’ll probably add some chopped green beans, cause potatoes and green beans is how I (currently, apparently) roll.

    Also. Your cat eats corn. Mine eats cantaloupe. Cats are weird.

    Seriously, though, the minute you slice into a cantaloupe, he just appears like a ninja.

      My aunt had a cat that loved cantaloupe, too. Ate the rinds and everything! Is your cat a maine coon, by chance? Joy, your cat has a tail like a maine coon! What kind is it?

    That hash looks so yummy… is it time for corn already? (yay) The photo of you and your dad is priceless! (And I can tell it’s the ’70’s because of all the yellow, orange, and brown decor!)

    my dad has always hated father’s and mother’s day. growing up, I was confused about whether or not I should give him a present or even acknowledge the day, that’s how much he hated it. my mom, who had no hard feelings against mother’s day, had to suffer the weirdness my dad always created, and usually her day was ruined, too. anyway, here’s to all of you out there who get to celebrate normal father’s days. as for the rest of us, we’ll make this delicious looking hash for ourselves!
