For some, good food and the company of friends is its own form of drug. For Clark Haass, he combines his love and fascination of hash —not the stuff from out of cans— but a variety of wholesome food ingredients thrown together in surprisingly wonderful ways.
Often, but not always, you will find potatoes as a key ingredient across a wide assortment of hash variations. In Haass’s book, Hashcapades – The Art of the Perfect Hash Adventure alone, you will discover 30 varieties of hash, including those made with smoked salmon, steak, chicken, brisket and on and on.
As the video shows, hash is only half of the equation. The other is the get-together with friends to eat and enjoy in the company of others.
Hash and its gregarious companion— hashcapades— are a joyous romp and a satisfying culinary adventure.
