hashbrowns is another one of those odd American words. it is both singular and plural. one order of hashbrowns all twenty of us want hashbrowns almost everyone eats catsup on their hashbrowns. as for the bacon, i like mine crispy, but not brittle. my oldest daughter likes hers SUPER crispy. my middle girl likes hers soft. my youngest prefers hers like mine; crispy but not brittle. message here is to do what makes you happy and leave everyone else in the dust.
@@rmlrl1971 my 2 favorite additions (on those uncommon occasions when i add things) to hashbrowns are onions and chopped ham/bacon. my two favorite toppings are catsup and sausage/cream Gravy.
@@JohnLeePettimoreIII I like crispy bacon as well. I chop up an onion, and cook it in a mix of a little olive oil, and a tablespoon of butter until the onions are translucent, then add the hashbrowns. Cook until the hashbrowns are crispy.
I add diced onions, salt and pepper. Sometimes shredded cheese. There really is no "wrong" with hash browns. Red and green peppers are good as well. Love the video!😊
Definitely diced onions, yes. I usually like my hash browns with just a little salt, but sometimes it's good with a small dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt.
The Creole seasoning container literally says "Everything taste Great" 😃 But Carol says it's for rice, cause rice is on the front cover. Love it! 😂❤😂 You can use any savory seasoning on your potatoes. Cajun, Creole, Italian whatever floats your boat 😋 Y'all did great 👍
In America, ice cream shops often have the option to dip a soft style ice cream cone into the chocolate shell. I like it, but ya really gotta eat fast on a hot day.😊
Hash browns are great with just salt and pepper. You can also use a little bit of that Garlic Salt you have or the Lowery’s seasoned salt. I like ketchup on mine after they are cooked . Great video guys!!!!😊
Hashbrowns are easy to make from scratch also. Simply grate potato.....soak them in water for about 30 minutes to pull out the starch. Drain and press dry in cheese cloth or a clean kitchen towel and fry the exact same way you just did! You can add diced bell peppers and onion to your hashbrowns if you want to jazz them up a bit too.
Lol Tried making hash browns One time.. Didn't have a clue.. Looked gray and nasty.. I never tried it Again🙃😵💫, I'll just stick with buying it premaid.. I don't know why they were Gray!
@@kattat919 If they were grey it is because you did not rinse the starch out of them first. If I don't rinse them, they do indeed turn a shade of grey. If you don't want to rinse them, avoid them turning color by spreading them thin and let them sit in the pan and completely crust on the bottom and then flip the whole thing over like a pancake and then brown the other side. Doing it this way will help keep them from becoming grey glue in the middle.
Recky and Carol, the things you can add to the hashbrowns while they are cooking are amazing; ham, cheese, bell peppers, jalapeno chilies, shrimp, mushrooms, salsa, sausage, kielbasa, other meats and so on.
I usually eat hashbrowns with ketchup and hot sauce. Now here in West TX, I can get the spicy ketchup from Whataburger at the grocery store. Something fun to do with the Magic Shell Chocolate Fudge is to mix it with the ice cream and make chocolate chips in it.
A tip for getting your eggs to not pop: turn the heat to medium-low and let your pan cool down before adding the eggs. Keep the flame low and use your spatula or turner to cut through the egg whites as they cook, letting the raw white flow down to the hotter cooking surface. It takes longer, but you will never have burned lacey edges on your eggs. Then when the yolk is still runny, flip the egg gently over and cook the yolk as long as you like. I am an "over-easy" girl, so I only cook it another 15 seconds. But eggs are so delicate, they cook better over low heat.
I fry mine as a giant (entire pan) pancake. The trick is to leave it alone while it's frying and flip just before it burns; fry 2nd side as long as you can without burning. I like mine with just salt, but my husband puts ketchup on it.
Most Americans don’t use dehydrated potatoes for hash browns. We use frozen if we don’t make them fresh. Frozen comes in shredded, diced or patty form.
It's always fun watching you two together. Cooking, unboxing or just spending time with you. Love and look forward to seeing you no matter what's going on. Favorite parts might be the kitties making an appearance! Thank you for sharing.
the tough part on hash browns is letting them sit long enough to brown... first few times most people make them they flip to early and to often, and then you follow it by flipping to little and not often enough LOL. Good rule of thumb is let them sit on medium-high heat for a solid 3 minutes before trying to flip. The goal is a crisp golden brown
If you want to make your hash-browns like an American then you cook them how you like them. Season how you want, add what you want, make them cakes or loose if you want. Eat them with what you want and when you want. 😋
When I make hash browns, I just use raw potatoes. I grate them using a cheese grater, squeeze them to get out excess moisture, then I fry them in a pan like you did. I cover them first with moderate heat so that the steam cooks them, then take off the cover, raise the heat to brown them. You can form them into cakes if you like, or cook them scattered, like you did. You can cook them with onions (you can precook the onions until they are brown, then add them at the end, so that you can get them completely caramelized), and diced ham, and covered with cheese. Also, if you don't peel the potatoes before you shred them on the grater, you will get more potato flavor.
The trick is to allow the potatoes to cook until crisp on one side, then put diced onions, green peppers(capsicum), Lowry's seasoned salt, and black pepper
For hash browns, we typically put them in the pan or on the griddle with oil or butter and leave them to brown. Once they're crispy and golden brown on the first side, we flip them. Salt, pepper and a little garlic powder for seasoning and a little ketchup is the perfect sauce choice Mrs. Carol. I'm going to use some of my BBQ Rub next time I make hash browns because of Recky 👍
I absolutely love. " It's not a cooking show." You guys are so are so adorable. I love hash browns with some ketchup on the side for dipping . Everyone watching, please make you subscribe. Sending love from 🇺🇸 ❤❤
You guys did the US a real solid by knocking out the ungrateful part of our soccer team so thank you very much.But Carol,you don't like to be seen 😂❤Keep an eye out for a lazy susan it helps store the spices better.
Lol, we love you guys! You don't need to separate the hash browns. They are really fried potatoes. Salt, pepper and onion or you can fry them with chopped onion and green pepper for O'Brian potatoes. I've never tried those potatoes but love hash browns with onion and green pepper chopped and fried with them. I love Recky for cooking and Carol for filming. I think Carol's confidence growing! We love you both. Carol, you have a very beautiful face, no wonder Recky fell in love with you. ❤
Hi from another Carol! Wonderful "not" a cooking show!! Hash browns can be seasoned anyway you want. Most common is onions or onion powder or onion salt and pepper. Stir and fry for a bit then leave them alone to get crispy , then divide up into servings and flip and let that side get crisp. I eat mine with ketchup but sometimes we have them with the white country or sausage gravy on top. When I don't have the time to make biscuits, we do toast topped with the fried egg and pour the country/sausage gravy over that along with over the hash browns. And of course, a side of bacon!!! The hot fudge sauce I will warm up and spread as a thin layer on top of a vanilla or chocolate cake. I love it more than frosting on a cake and so much easier!
Add coffee, orange juice, toast or pancakes, and you have classic American breakfast. I add diced sausage, diced onions, diced peppers, salt, pepper, garlic powder to the potatoes. Diced bacon or ham also works. I also add eggs when the potatoes are done and scrambled them. Cheddar cheese is also a must.
The fudge that hardens on the ice cream is used a lot of times on an ice cream cone. The ice cream is covered and doesn't melt as quickly outside in the heat. You can start at the top and work your way down the ice cream before it all melts and makes a runny mess. It kind of keeps it all contained a little longer.
For my family we typically use the chocolate shell for an ice cream cone and the other fudge topping for a bowl of ice cream. Totally agree the fudge topping is the best.
I LOVE to eat breakfast foods at lunch and dinner time. Oh my goodness, this is making me crave scrambled eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy! Oh my goodness...I'm salivating right now!
You should try making "Banana Splits" some time! Several scoops of ice cream, each with a different topping, like hot fudge, strawberry sauce, butterscotch sauce, etc., then a banana sliced lengthwise, placed along each side of the ice cream. Then you can top the whole thing with some whipped cream, chopped nuts, etc.
HELLO CAROL AND RECKY!! TWO BIG CONGRATULATIONS FOR BOTH OF YOU TODAY!! First, today my "Not a Cooking Show" T-shirt with both Chef Carol and Chef Recky Swedish Chef Muppets arrived today! I LOVE IT! Second, BIG CONGRATULATIONS! I saw that your Go Fund Me Fundraiser you both got ABOVE THE GOAL AMOUNT of 50,000!! What a wonderful day to CELEBRATE!! HUGS to BOTH of you from Columbus Ohio USA!
The Typical Hash Brown is more of a "cake", but the way you did them is perfectly fine as well. Salt, Pepper, and Ketchup are Typical ways to eat them, but ANY savory seasoning works well. The Creole Seasoning would be perfect in them. Creole Seasoning goes great with MANY things not just Rice.
You should really try making hashbrowns from scratch. Only thing you need are potatoes, and a large hole grater. I just watched a video from Crouton Crackerjacks, and his hashbrowns recipe is how I would do them.
Oh the garlic and herb seasoning would've been good in the hash browns along with some shredded cheddar cheese to melt on top. It's always so much fun when you two are in the kitchen "not" cooking together.
Good to see you in the kitchen. I'm sure you have this in Sweden, but in case you don't. We do like a BLT sandwich(bacon, lettuce and tomato). You can either toast the bread or leave it as it comes. Just add Recky's favorite mayonnaise and you're done.
You did a great job with the hash browns 😊 Carol made me laugh with the instructions comment. My response "yes, we know, you have instruction tourettes" 😂😂😂
a few years ago a former US comedienne & talk show host has a youtube channel devoted to cooking and she has probably one of the best hash brown recipes out there, well i was impressed, the channel is Jenny Can Cook and the title of the video is "crispy hash brown - perfect every time" (basically once in the pan you rarely touch it but you do want to be mindful of the temp)
I used to make "Homemade Donuts". Take 1 can of Biscuits, separate. Take a coke bottle cap and place in center of biscuit and press hard to cut center out. Take the biscuit out of cap and set aside. Repeat this for all biscuits. Put a liberal amount of oil in a pot and get it real hot. Add biscuits and holes to oil and fry for about 2 or 3 minutes on each side til golden brown. Remove from oil and sprinkle with Cinnamon Sugar and enjoy. My mom and dad loved these but as we had to cut back on sugar, we don't make as often.
These “Not Cooking” Videos are so much fun to watch. Thank you for sharing your lives. Not so different from our own. Your discovery of new things to try is the best!
Hash browns are best with diced onions and melted cheese but I live in an area where there are 6 waffle houses in a 10 mile radius. And by the way, Swedes can get a tourist visa easily now. Might not be the case in a couple years… depending on elections. Visit as soon as you can just in case. You’ll find hospitality in all 50 states. There’s good people everywhere. Also bad people everywhere but we don’t talk to them and you shouldn’t either. (If someone is openly carrying a rifle at the wal-mart… leave him alone. He’s clearly unhinged.) I love my state (NC). We’ve got everything from tall mountains to awesome beaches and picturesque barrier islands. We’ve got big cities, small towns, farms, and the best BBQ (Eastern NC style only please)
Kitties❤ When I make hash browns, I would often mix it with: cheese, bacon, ground beef, green or red bell peppers, and white onions. And for a piece of advice: buy all your winter clothes here in the US only. Winter in Sweden is a different matter from the winters in some of the states. Some rarely have snow in their winter. I'm actually a child of two immigrants from Taiwan and their winter weather feels like spring weather for me.
I absolutely love " this is not a cooking show " ! ❤❤❤ I laugh soooo much ! You both are hilarious! The regular ones are marvelous too ! You are a gift to my day's! Thank you so so very much 💗
We have both thin & thick sliced bacon & low sodium (salt). We have bacon in various flavors such as black pepper, hickory smoked, applewood smoked, honey, honey barbeque, pumpkin spiced, apple cinnamon, jalapeno, cajun, maple syrup, etc. We also have crumbled bacon bits in jar or packet & bacon spice in a jar. You did hash browns right. Personally, I only use salt & pepper. If you want a different taste, add what you like. Some people like them with ketchup or salsa. After adding hot fudge on ice cream, add whipped cream, sprinkle with chopped peanut bits, & maraschino cherry on top & you will have what we call a "hot fudge sundae." When cooking, you are ones eating it, so make it as you like it.
Hash Browns are simply fried potatoes. Some people shred the potatoes, some slice them and some cut the potatoes into bite size pieces. Then you fry them in a pan with salt and pepper. I like onions in mine and I cut my potatoes into bite size pieces. Then you fry till the potatoes are golden. Try putting green and red peppers, onions and just as the potatoes are about cone, pour eggs on top and cook till eggs are done.
Looks yummy nice job ...if you like to have crispy bacon place some flour in a bag and place bacon inside give it a few shakes to coat the bacon in flour remove bacon shake off any extra flour and bake in the oven. It stays straight and crispy. Have a great week 😊
Carol, thank you for your camera work and back seat instructions. Recky, thank you for not-cooking with such aplomb. *Ketchup is perfectly acceptable on the hash browns, the bacon and the eggs.
Oh yay! I LOVE Hungry Jack hashbrowns So versatile! I generally heat the water in the microwave instead of just out of the tap, because my tap water doesn't get that hot. Don't worry, they won't overcook in the box. (although from experience, I can tell you they can burn in the pan) A bit of butter, some salt and pepper, and some frying in the pan, and you're good! (Awww, hello kitty! Supervising today?) You're doing it right, don't worry! Aren't those plates pretty?! Fine. I guess I'm going to go make a Cowboy breakfast, now (ham, egg, cheese sandwich on toast)
Ketchup, salt, pepper, hot sauce tobasco is my preferred hot sauce. Can add cheese, bell peppers, onions. Hashbrown patties are typically served in fast food places.
I add salt/pepper to it and then I leverage the egg yolk as the "sauce." Otherwise, ketchup works well :). Usually if you soak the hash browns they clump together better and you can make into more of a pancake/squares. Thank you both so much for the videos and as always, I'm a huge fan of yours. Looking forward to your meet and greet in the US when you come visit (some day). It could be like a merchandise signing!!!
When the hash browns are fully cooked, you can add a slice of cheese on top. When cooking you can add mushrooms, tomatoe, ànd green or regular onion to your taste. I also eat ketchup on mine!
Love whenever y'all show the kitties!!! If y'all do the Apple Cider Donuts, y'all should also have some of your coffee folks send y'all. Hopefully sometime soon I can send y'all some of Aubelita y'all saw on the recent Jolly video. We have it here where I live.
Tater Cakes: 1/2 cup mashed potatoes PER SERVING (cold leftovers work best) RECIPE 1-2 cps cold mashed potatoes 2 TBS flour (add more if need to thicken to form cakes. They should be of good consistency, like a burger patty) 1 egg (helps hold it together) Salt and Pepper to taste or any spice that floats your boat Add-in options: Onion, diced small Kernel corn Bacon bits 2 cps potatoes = about 4 cakes Form into thickish patties and put in a frying pan with hot shortening. Do not put in a cold pan. Remove when both sides are nicely browned. Serve while warm with eggs or serve cold and make a sammich (sandwich) with ketchup, BBQ sauce, a picante sauce or salsa. Bon Appétit
With the hashbrowns, you didn't do anything wrong and can do whatever is to your taste...salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, etc., just remember it's however YOU love to spice up potatoes. You can totally add ketchup to eat them. Some would use hot sauce. You can even melt some shredded cheese over them :). A lot of stuff like that box of hashbrowns is really just for convenience, like instant mashed potatoes, pasta/sauces, etc. The frozen food section also has hash browns. I can't think of anybody I know outside of them working as a cook/chef who like grating potatoes just to make hashbrowns, lol. I've done it and it was a PAIN :). If you do cakes or patties, you have to add an egg and flour to the potatoes to bind them. Looked fabulous!
Those hash browns turned out absolutely perfect! You can buy the pre-formed "cakes" of hash-browns here in the US, and they're definitely good, but I prefer mine the way you guys made them... just add a little salt and pepper, and I'm happy! Bacon, eggs, toast and hash browns,... mmm mmm yum!
Lowry's seasoned salt would be good with hashbrowns. I think a lot of Europeans think of hashbrowns like the ones McDonalds sells but you got the good stuff today.
We have two black cat kittens , Stella and Bella we rescued this year ( and joined our Siamese Pyewacket ) . This is our first Halloween with them ( Black cats are traditionally connected with American ( and British ) Halloween decorations!
Recky, what you were thinking of is a pancake. Whenever I make hashbrowns, I finish cooking by adding a bit of butter to help brown the potatoes. Potato pancakes are really good, but you'd have to find a recipe.
When you add eggs and bacon or other protein to the skillet and mix them together, it's called a hash or sometimes called a skillet or gridle. And yeah, you can definitely add anything with a hashbrown to make a hash. Peppers, bacon, sausage, gravy, chicken, onion, whatever vegetable or flavor you like can easily find its way into a hash.
My dad was from Louisiana and used Cajun or Creole seasoning on everything that wasn't sweet. 😂 I usually make my hash browns from scratch but shredding the potatoes can be a pain. Other than that I buy these hash brown patties in the frozdn section and just pop them in the oven. I like mine eith bacon and eggs or with biscuits and gravy. Eggs or gravy eother one taste great on hash browns. Nothing like hot fudge on vanilla oce cream with whipped cream on top. The Magic Shell is supposed to be similar to the coating on an Eskimo Pie or Klondike Bar.
I'm from San Antonio, TX, so of course I like salsa on my hash browns. If you REALLY want to go Tex-Mex, you guys should try Pico de Gallo. It's like a fresh chunky salsa, made with chopped onions, tomatoes, jalapenos and cilantro (fresh coriander leaves). Very, very good, tho some people HATE cilantro.
Carol I love your laugh!😂 You two seem to be having fun doing this video. I'm getting ready to make chicken enchiladas. Wish me luck!! You really need to come to America! We have our problems like all other countries but it is so beautiful here!
You can make homemade fudge sauce, chocolate sauce easily at home using any chocolate bars or chocolate chips. Then add slices of your favorite fruit. Strawberries or bananas are my favorite and taste delicious with chocolate. Or, both at the same time. lol.
I’m a Breakfast Nut, I’ll eat breakfast for lunch dinner whenever it’s available… my favorite are Eggs over easy, hash browns and sausages. I like to cut up the sausages and eggs, and just mix those and the hash browns all together and just devour it… Another favorite is Belgian Waffles topped with strawberries and a whipped cream… sooo good
A very easy way to cook hashbrowns from scratch is to grate potatos, squeeze some of the water out, and then spread them on a cookie sheet or a bakeing dish. Salt and pepper to taste. Then bake in the oven at around 350F-400F (180-205c) until crispy on top (around 10-20 minutes).
Another incredible video from Recky and Carol's "It's not a cooking show." Recky looks so sweet in his apron. I have never seen potatoes that have to be soaked in water prior to frying, so if this is a American thing, I am not aware of it. I grate my own potatoes and do them from scratch. I will have to try this way as it seems much easier than my way of cooking hash browns. You both were a delight with your hot fudge topping and the "shell" topping. I love hot fudge topping and you would be amazed Carol if you look up recipes on youtube for hot fudge. It is very easy to make at home. Much love, hugs, and prayers to you both. Great video!
Recky and Carol, we love you! ❤ Keep on doing what you do and be yourself. You make me laugh! Love the, not a cooking show, videos. Actually love all your videos. 😊 Carol you are a great cooking instructor. Hash browns are potatoes, so you can put whatever you would normally put on potatoes. I love hash browns!
You both did excellent! Our family eats hash browns with ketchup or sweet chili sauce. That fudge topping in the jar is as close to homemade as if you made it. butter, cream , & cocoa -perfection! My husband likes it out of the jar on a spoon too Recky 🤣 I really enjoyed today's "not a cooking show" Thank You both! Wyoming Bearhugs❤
Perfection! Couldn't have done it better myself! Your seasoning idea was great. I usually used to just cover the bottom of the pan, really crisp it up, add butter, salt and pepper and that's it. You did great! I want so much to send you everything I can think of. Better times coming, I promise❤

one order of hashbrowns
all twenty of us want hashbrowns
almost everyone eats catsup on their hashbrowns.

Definitely diced onions, yes. I usually like my hash browns with just a little salt, but sometimes it's good with a small dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt.
Exactly...I also like pouring some cream gravy (preferably sausage gravy) over them.
Guess what Carol? I love simply salt, black pepper and ketchup on my hash browns! 😊
That’s what I usually eat mine with. Sometimes I will ad syrup or gravy if I’m am eating it with it pancakes or biscuits and gravy.
OP : most times (95%), same. but every so often (5%), i like to jazz them up a little.
Me too 😊that’s how I like my hash browns as well.

Awesome! I made hashbrowns for the grandkids this morning. You both are the best reactors ever! Make me smile everytime. Simply the best.❤
Thank you 🥰
Your black and white kitty is so adorable. Just sitting there waiting for bacon
You did awesome! There is no wrong way to cook hashbrowns.
Agree!
actually, you can cook them wrong. but you have to WANT to cook them wrong. 😃

The fudge that hardens on the ice cream is used a lot of times on an ice cream cone. The ice cream is covered and doesn't melt as quickly outside in the heat. You can start at the top and work your way down the ice cream before it all melts and makes a runny mess. It kind of keeps it all contained a little longer.
Our family puts ketsup on our hash browns also salt and pepper, adding green peppers and fresh onions.
For my family we typically use the chocolate shell for an ice cream cone and the other fudge topping for a bowl of ice cream. Totally agree the fudge topping is the best.
I LOVE to eat breakfast foods at lunch and dinner time. Oh my goodness, this is making me crave scrambled eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy! Oh my goodness...I'm salivating right now!
😋
I do my hashbrowns in smaller round shape like a pancake and i often add ketchup or sausage gravy to them 😊😊👍👍
I add onions, bell peppers. Fry it up, golden brown and at the end, we throw shredded cheese on top.
You should try making "Banana Splits" some time! Several scoops of ice cream, each with a different topping, like hot fudge, strawberry sauce, butterscotch sauce, etc., then a banana sliced lengthwise, placed along each side of the ice cream. Then you can top the whole thing with some whipped cream, chopped nuts, etc.
Recky showing off his cute knees, awwwwww😍! Carol in control as always, great director. 🥰
Recky just teased us by saying they were moving to the US!😉Carol quickly corrected!🤣😂
I honestly believe I gain weight watching your “Not A Cooking Show”! Soooo much fun! Thanks for sharing!🥰🥰🥰
HELLO CAROL AND RECKY!! TWO BIG CONGRATULATIONS FOR BOTH OF YOU TODAY!! First, today my "Not a Cooking Show" T-shirt with both Chef Carol and Chef Recky Swedish Chef Muppets arrived today! I LOVE IT! Second, BIG CONGRATULATIONS! I saw that your Go Fund Me Fundraiser you both got ABOVE THE GOAL AMOUNT of 50,000!! What a wonderful day to CELEBRATE!! HUGS to BOTH of you from Columbus Ohio USA!
Wow thank you so much!! We are so happy to hear that 😍♥️
The Typical Hash Brown is more of a "cake", but the way you did them is perfectly fine as well. Salt, Pepper, and Ketchup are Typical ways to eat them, but ANY savory seasoning works well. The Creole Seasoning would be perfect in them. Creole Seasoning goes great with MANY things not just Rice.
Great reaction. Chocolate syrup is a multi-use food. 😉😊🤭
We put ketchup on hashbrowns in my family too Carol!
You should really try making hashbrowns from scratch. Only thing you need are potatoes, and a large hole grater. I just watched a video from Crouton Crackerjacks, and his hashbrowns recipe is how I would do them.
Oh the garlic and herb seasoning would've been good in the hash browns along with some shredded cheddar cheese to melt on top. It's always so much fun when you two are in the kitchen "not" cooking together.
Good to see you in the kitchen. I'm sure you have this in Sweden, but in case you don't. We do like a BLT sandwich(bacon, lettuce and tomato). You can either toast the bread or leave it as it comes. Just add Recky's favorite mayonnaise and you're done.
Hey Recky and Carol, ketchup is Good, you can top hash browns with fried eggs. You guys did a fine job. 🤟🔥⛪👨👩👧👦🇺🇸
Recky’s full contact cooking. 😂
Love hash browns. There’s no wrong way to prepare it. I like it just a little more crispy than most.
My favorite topping for hash browns is ketchup thoroughly splashed with red Tabasco sauce. It is an amazing sweet heat combo.
You did a great job with the hash browns 😊 Carol made me laugh with the instructions comment. My response "yes, we know, you have instruction tourettes" 😂😂😂
Y'all did great with the hash browns. I usually fry mine a little bit more to where they are more golden brown. I like to eat them with ketchup
a few years ago a former US comedienne & talk show host has a youtube channel devoted to cooking and she has probably one of the best hash brown recipes out there, well i was impressed, the channel is Jenny Can Cook and the title of the video is "crispy hash brown - perfect every time" (basically once in the pan you rarely touch it but you do want to be mindful of the temp)
I used to make "Homemade Donuts".
Take 1 can of Biscuits, separate. Take a coke bottle cap and place in center of biscuit and press hard to cut center out. Take the biscuit out of cap and set aside. Repeat this for all biscuits.
Put a liberal amount of oil in a pot and get it real hot. Add biscuits and holes to oil and fry for about 2 or 3 minutes on each side til golden brown. Remove from oil and sprinkle with Cinnamon Sugar and enjoy.
My mom and dad loved these but as we had to cut back on sugar, we don't make as often.
These “Not Cooking” Videos are so much fun to watch. Thank you for sharing your lives. Not so different from our own. Your discovery of new things to try is the best!
Hash browns are best with diced onions and melted cheese but I live in an area where there are 6 waffle houses in a 10 mile radius.
And by the way, Swedes can get a tourist visa easily now. Might not be the case in a couple years… depending on elections. Visit as soon as you can just in case. You’ll find hospitality in all 50 states. There’s good people everywhere. Also bad people everywhere but we don’t talk to them and you shouldn’t either. (If someone is openly carrying a rifle at the wal-mart… leave him alone. He’s clearly unhinged.)
I love my state (NC). We’ve got everything from tall mountains to awesome beaches and picturesque barrier islands. We’ve got big cities, small towns, farms, and the best BBQ (Eastern NC style only please)
Kitties❤ When I make hash browns, I would often mix it with: cheese, bacon, ground beef, green or red bell peppers, and white onions.
And for a piece of advice: buy all your winter clothes here in the US only. Winter in Sweden is a different matter from the winters in some of the states. Some rarely have snow in their winter.
I'm actually a child of two immigrants from Taiwan and their winter weather feels like spring weather for me.
I absolutely love " this is not a cooking show " ! ❤❤❤ I laugh soooo much ! You both are hilarious! The regular ones are marvelous too ! You are a gift to my day's! Thank you so so very much 💗
We have both thin & thick sliced bacon & low sodium (salt). We have bacon in various flavors such as black pepper, hickory smoked, applewood smoked, honey, honey barbeque, pumpkin spiced, apple cinnamon, jalapeno, cajun, maple syrup, etc. We also have crumbled bacon bits in jar or packet & bacon spice in a jar.
You did hash browns right. Personally, I only use salt & pepper. If you want a different taste, add what you like. Some people like them with ketchup or salsa.
After adding hot fudge on ice cream, add whipped cream, sprinkle with chopped peanut bits, & maraschino cherry on top & you will have what we call a "hot fudge sundae."
When cooking, you are ones eating it, so make it as you like it.
Hash Browns are simply fried potatoes. Some people shred the potatoes, some slice them and some cut the potatoes into bite size pieces. Then you fry them in a pan with salt and pepper. I like onions in mine and I cut my potatoes into bite size pieces. Then you fry till the potatoes are golden. Try putting green and red peppers, onions and just as the potatoes are about cone, pour eggs on top and cook till eggs are done.
Looks yummy nice job ...if you like to have crispy bacon place some flour in a bag and place bacon inside give it a few shakes to coat the bacon in flour remove bacon shake off any extra flour and bake in the oven. It stays straight and crispy. Have a great week 😊
I put ketchup or salsa on my hashbrown potatoes.
Carol, thank you for your camera work and back seat instructions. Recky, thank you for not-cooking with such aplomb.
*Ketchup is perfectly acceptable on the hash browns, the bacon and the eggs.
Oh yay! I LOVE Hungry Jack hashbrowns So versatile! I generally heat the water in the microwave instead of just out of the tap, because my tap water doesn't get that hot. Don't worry, they won't overcook in the box. (although from experience, I can tell you they can burn in the pan) A bit of butter, some salt and pepper, and some frying in the pan, and you're good! (Awww, hello kitty! Supervising today?) You're doing it right, don't worry! Aren't those plates pretty?! Fine. I guess I'm going to go make a Cowboy breakfast, now (ham, egg, cheese sandwich on toast)
They're great for camping as they don't need special storing and pancakes come the same.
Ketchup, salt, pepper, hot sauce tobasco is my preferred hot sauce.
Can add cheese, bell peppers, onions. Hashbrown patties are typically served in fast food places.
hash browns made with sweet potatoes, bell pepper, and onions is also really good too
I add salt/pepper to it and then I leverage the egg yolk as the "sauce." Otherwise, ketchup works well :). Usually if you soak the hash browns they clump together better and you can make into more of a pancake/squares. Thank you both so much for the videos and as always, I'm a huge fan of yours. Looking forward to your meet and greet in the US when you come visit (some day). It could be like a merchandise signing!!!
Also, GRATS on exceeding the GoFundMe goal!!
When the hash browns are fully cooked, you can add a slice of cheese on top. When cooking you can add mushrooms, tomatoe, ànd green or regular onion to your taste. I also eat ketchup on mine!
diced onion, bell pepper, cheese, and sausage makes the best hash browns. You guys are fun to watch.
Love whenever y'all show the kitties!!!
If y'all do the Apple Cider Donuts, y'all should also have some of your coffee folks send y'all. Hopefully sometime soon I can send y'all some of Aubelita y'all saw on the recent Jolly video. We have it here where I live.
Tater Cakes:
1/2 cup mashed potatoes PER SERVING (cold leftovers work best)
RECIPE
1-2 cps cold mashed potatoes
2 TBS flour (add more if need to thicken to form cakes. They should be of good consistency, like a burger patty)
1 egg (helps hold it together)
Salt and Pepper to taste or any spice that floats your boat
Add-in options:
Onion, diced small
Kernel corn
Bacon bits
2 cps potatoes = about 4 cakes
Form into thickish patties and put in a frying pan with hot shortening. Do not put in a cold pan.
Remove when both sides are nicely browned.
Serve while warm with eggs or serve cold and make a sammich (sandwich) with ketchup, BBQ sauce, a picante sauce or salsa.
Bon Appétit
Oh, that sounds so good!
With the hashbrowns, you didn't do anything wrong and can do whatever is to your taste...salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, etc., just remember it's however YOU love to spice up potatoes. You can totally add ketchup to eat them. Some would use hot sauce. You can even melt some shredded cheese over them :). A lot of stuff like that box of hashbrowns is really just for convenience, like instant mashed potatoes, pasta/sauces, etc. The frozen food section also has hash browns. I can't think of anybody I know outside of them working as a cook/chef who like grating potatoes just to make hashbrowns, lol. I've done it and it was a PAIN :). If you do cakes or patties, you have to add an egg and flour to the potatoes to bind them. Looked fabulous!
Those hash browns turned out absolutely perfect! You can buy the pre-formed "cakes" of hash-browns here in the US, and they're definitely good, but I prefer mine the way you guys made them... just add a little salt and pepper, and I'm happy! Bacon, eggs, toast and hash browns,... mmm mmm yum!
Restaurants form them into "patties" so they can stack them up to have them ready for a quick reheat when needed.
Lowry's seasoned salt would be good with hashbrowns. I think a lot of Europeans think of hashbrowns like the ones McDonalds sells but you got the good stuff today.
We have two black cat kittens , Stella and Bella we rescued this year ( and joined our Siamese Pyewacket ) . This is our first Halloween with them ( Black cats are traditionally connected with American ( and British ) Halloween decorations!
Recky, what you were thinking of is a pancake. Whenever I make hashbrowns, I finish cooking by adding a bit of butter to help brown the potatoes. Potato pancakes are really good, but you'd have to find a recipe.
When you add eggs and bacon or other protein to the skillet and mix them together, it's called a hash or sometimes called a skillet or gridle. And yeah, you can definitely add anything with a hashbrown to make a hash. Peppers, bacon, sausage, gravy, chicken, onion, whatever vegetable or flavor you like can easily find its way into a hash.
My dad was from Louisiana and used Cajun or Creole seasoning on everything that wasn't sweet. 😂
I usually make my hash browns from scratch but shredding the potatoes can be a pain. Other than that I buy these hash brown patties in the frozdn section and just pop them in the oven. I like mine eith bacon and eggs or with biscuits and gravy. Eggs or gravy eother one taste great on hash browns.
Nothing like hot fudge on vanilla oce cream with whipped cream on top. The Magic Shell is supposed to be similar to the coating on an Eskimo Pie or Klondike Bar.
Well, now I have to start having ice cream with hot fudge topping with breakfast, thanks guys😮
19:37 We enjoy it being 'just like it is', too. Everything looks like it came out good to me. Thanks for another fun video.
I'm from San Antonio, TX, so of course I like salsa on my hash browns. If you REALLY want to go Tex-Mex, you guys should try Pico de Gallo. It's like a fresh chunky salsa, made with chopped onions, tomatoes, jalapenos and cilantro (fresh coriander leaves). Very, very good, tho some people HATE cilantro.
Yes I make hashbrowns or råraka that we call them in Sweden with avocado salsa .
Carol I love your laugh!😂 You two seem to be having fun doing this video. I'm getting ready to make chicken enchiladas. Wish me luck!! You really need to come to America! We have our problems like all other countries but it is so beautiful here!
24:44 Carol is going to scrape THROUGH that bowl. 😂🤣
You can make homemade fudge sauce, chocolate sauce easily at home using any chocolate bars or chocolate chips. Then add slices of your favorite fruit. Strawberries or bananas are my favorite and taste delicious with chocolate. Or, both at the same time. lol.
I’m a Breakfast Nut, I’ll eat breakfast for lunch dinner whenever it’s available… my favorite are Eggs over easy, hash browns and sausages. I like to cut up the sausages and eggs, and just mix those and the hash browns all together and just devour it… Another favorite is Belgian Waffles topped with strawberries and a whipped cream… sooo good
A very easy way to cook hashbrowns from scratch is to grate potatos, squeeze some of the water out, and then spread them on a cookie sheet or a bakeing dish. Salt and pepper to taste. Then bake in the oven at around 350F-400F (180-205c) until crispy on top (around 10-20 minutes).
Another incredible video from Recky and Carol's "It's not a cooking show." Recky looks so sweet in his apron. I have never seen potatoes that have to be soaked in water prior to frying, so if this is a American thing, I am not aware of it. I grate my own potatoes and do them from scratch. I will have to try this way as it seems much easier than my way of cooking hash browns. You both were a delight with your hot fudge topping and the "shell" topping. I love hot fudge topping and you would be amazed Carol if you look up recipes on youtube for hot fudge. It is very easy to make at home. Much love, hugs, and prayers to you both. Great video!
I eat my hashbrown with Ketchup! and as far as the chocolate topping there is one!! that is reese peanut butter flavor- enjoy!!
Recky and Carol, we love you! ❤ Keep on doing what you do and be yourself. You make me laugh! Love the, not a cooking show, videos. Actually love all your videos. 😊 Carol you are a great cooking instructor. Hash browns are potatoes, so you can put whatever you would normally put on potatoes. I love hash browns!
You both did excellent! Our family eats hash browns with ketchup or sweet chili sauce.
That fudge topping in the jar is as close to homemade as if you made it. butter, cream , & cocoa -perfection! My husband likes it out of the jar on a spoon too Recky 🤣
I really enjoyed today's "not a cooking show" Thank You both! Wyoming Bearhugs❤
Perfection! Couldn't have done it better myself! Your seasoning idea was great. I usually used to just cover the bottom of the pan, really crisp it up, add butter, salt and pepper and that's it. You did great! I want so much to send you everything I can think of. Better times coming, I promise❤
Cooking bacon on a sheet pan in the oven on parchment paper is the greatest.
