1 Take Approximately Equal Proportions Of Beef, Potatoes, And Onions And Put Them Through A Meat Grinder Using A Medium Grinder Attachment So That They Are Well Mixed And Ground. 2 Heat A Large Frying Pan, Preferably A Cast Iron Pan, On Medium High To High Heat. Add The Hash To The Frying Pan So That A Half An Inch Of Hash Covers The Bottom Of The Pan. If You Have More Hash To Cook, Do So In Separate Batches. Add Several Tablespoons Of Oil. Brown The Hash, Stirring Only Infrequently At First To Make Sure That The Hash Has An Opportunity To Brown Well. As You Cook The Hash, Add Pinches Of Salt And Fresh Ground Pepper. Do This A Couple Of Times With Each Batch Of Hash. Cook For At Least 10 Minutes And Until The Hash Is Well Browned. Serve Immediately With Ketchup.
