South Carolina Hash

[cookiecdcmk]

I posted earlier about hash that I had at a local BBQ place in Johnston, Georgia, and I do not know what meat they used, but it sure was good.  I have done some searches and find that most of the places use pork butt and beef meat, not organs.  It looks like the old methods did use organ meat, probably because they used all of the animal.  I found a Sconyers  recipe from August which used potatoes, and a South Carolina one from Big Reds BBQ which used a lot of onions.  There appears to be a lot of local variations just like BBQ sauces.  It also looks like they cook it for a long time which makes competitions seem difficult.  I am going to try one of the recipes that I found using beef and pork meat in a slow cooker, and see what happens.

Hash is an a potato dish, often served for breakfast.

The main ingredient is usually potato. The dish usually contains meat as well; rarely, a Hash will be so meaty that meat takes over as the main ingredient. There will almost certain be onion, or green onion, and perhaps other vegetables such as green pepper, etc. The simple seasoning is usually just salt and pepper. Some cooks have quite a heavy hand with the salt.

Jim'n Nick's, Bar-B-Que in Bluffton, SC on Fording Island Road has some terrific Hash to go with it's excellent Que.
I asked what was in it and was told "what do you care as long as it taste good" with a smile.

Well, my God-daughter worked there, for years, up until a couple of months ago, I'll see if I can get any further insight.  (She's actually down in Savannah, now.)
