It's one of the best for high temps. Quoting: Hot Dog Harry Hay great idea there my friend. I've never put 2 and 2 together. High heat resistive oil. Good call. Post of the thread!!!! Good info HD :spuds: Thanks. I have one of these that I use with a bacon press. I've been meaning to use it more. |

It makes the best hashbrowns you can cook at home. IMHO Has anyone else tried it before? Used to make hash browns 3x a week. Take a raw russet and grate. Meanwhile heat an iron skillet on med+ with oil. Now take the grated potatoes and squeeze in your hand till the liquid stops draining from them. Throw in pan cover and cook about 7 min flip. Usually you can keep covered and they'll be crisp- then cook another 7 min. That's all there is to it! Simplicity is key to all good cooking. IMHO Good call ac and thanks for the tip. |

I don't cook the eggs in that though, I have a small Le Creuset cast iron pan that is just like non-stick cookware. Perfectly seasoned and the eggs come right out of it with no problems or mess. I use the big section for bacon and sausage and the two smaller ones for the halves of an English muffin. |

My kitchen sink is 49 years old and looks brand new. It weighs over 100lbs. The chinese sinks made today are nothing compared to old cast iron sinks made in the USA! Toothpaste takes those black marks off. they are probably from sliding pans across the sink. BEST thread EVER by the way. So many laughs mixed in with the good advice. I love you guys. |

User ID: 76716753 United States 09/18/2020 06:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I use a food processor to grate the potatoes. It’s fast and easy. The shreds go into a bowl of cold water where they sit for a few minutes, then I squeeze them out in a tea towel. Heat up the cast iron skillet with some sunflower oil. I have a gas stove and cook on med low. Then when it’s hot I put a layer of potato and leave it alone. When you think it’s time to flip it, wait longer. Then cook the other side. I make the best hash browns, but this recipe is from Ree Drummond the pioneer woman. IDGAF |

Quoting: ^TrInItY^ Put about 1/4 inch of oil in the bottom of a medium sized skillet.. HEAT the oil on high until it's good and hot... Dump the entire bag in there... Then PRESS down on the top of the potatoes with your spatula until they are nice and firm and you can start to see some of the oil come to the top through them... Then wait until the edges start to brown... Then get a plate, put it on top of the hash browns in the skillet.. Then hold the plate down into the pan with one hand and FLIP them onto the plate by turning over the skillet.. Then slide them back into the skillet off the plate on the raw side.. Wait about the same amount of time as the first side and you're done... Perfect hash browns at home.... Don't forget to salt each side of your giant hash brown patty... I'm a hash brown expert. |

Hashbrown with a larger grade cheese grater. add finely chopped onions. warm up pan on med heat. throw in 1/2-2/3rd tbsp butter and throw in the potatoes. salt+pepper. Not too thin or thick of a layer. 10-15 minutes one side. turn and reduce heat for another 5-10 minutes. perfect. gotta caramelize a bit for the best results .. just a little bit of higher temps then you don't even need to take out the water first.
