If I ever bought new cookware I’d definitely look into this. I have such high end cookware that I think my husband would have a nutty!😀. I’m getting ready to downsize and give it my 4 kids! ❤️
helpful hint. To make tots faster...put half the amount into the 1 gal ziploc. roll it into a rope by compressing it. dump the rope out and cut to length. repeat the process until all you mix is done.
I have made the tator tots and if you take your mixture, place it on a piece of parchment paper and then roll it up into a log shape the size you want for your tots and then let them chill in the fridge for about an hour to firm. Take them out, unroll and slice into desired length. Viola, nice uniform tots without having to form each individual tot. :)
I like to take a coleslaw mix and put 1 cup of that with 1 egg, mix well and add a couple shakes of dried onions, salt and pepper. Fry in avacado oil in approximately 6 small patties. This taste so much like hashbrowns.
So I tried something interesting as my Son loves his hasbrowns. I like Kohlrabi as a substitute for Potato, so I thought about it and grated a whole kohlrabi, mixed in spices, a little almond flour & parmesan cheese, (no egg) and then in my chaffle maker put a layer of mozz cheese, let it melt then put my kohlrabi mixture and put more mozz cheese on top...let it cook for 10 minutes...super important or until crispy. cool on rack, put sour cream and chives and serve up with breakfast or whatever. It comes out like a cheesey potatoe latke. Maybe some of you may enjoy this. I didn´t use all of the Kohlrabi, but I did blend it all at once and put the left over in a bag to keep in the fridge for quicky hasbrowns.
I made the cabbage thing a while ago. There was 2 tablespoons of almond flour. I swear it reminded me of potato pancakes which I haven’t had in years. I even put a dollop of sour cream on it 😋
I boil my shredded cabbage for 15-20 mins first, drain and then add onion & egg, arrow root starch, seasonings & fry. I could eat these too with a dollop of sour cream. Delish!
I appreciate how real you guys are right down to the hair-tie on your wrist!!!! If something is wonky-you make a face, your rows aren't picture perfect. You make the recipes seem doable. So happy I found this channel!
I learned a keto hack; for a tater sub, slice radishes ans simmer them in butter and a little seasoning until tender. then mash and serve...so good try it!
We make a thing called bubble and squeak in England, basically left over mashed potato and cooked cabbage mixed up and cooked in a frying pan, I always loved the cabbage part so tried it with cauli mash, which works well. Mashed swede is good too. You need to steam your cabbage first, shredded quite small. Fry the onion a bit on its own then add the mixed cabbage and cauli/swede. Cook it slowly for quite a while, turn and mix a few times as it browns. I loved all things potato, but actually I now think celeriac chips (fries) cooked in the oven in avocado oil beat potato ones by quite a bit 😄
So a million years ago back in the 80s my mom was a Weight Watcher and they had a saying (hope I'm not stepping on any copyright toes here) Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels. I'm down 4 sizes and gimme a radish or a cauliflower tot any day. I don't miss potatoes THAT bad. And Em, you forming those tots was priceless 😘
Just stepping in to point out that saying is something model Kate Moss famously said. (Which she has said in later interviews she now regrets saying) it’s not exactly a positive quote. So take that as you will.
Zucchini tots are really good, for anyone who is struggling with cauliflower. 🙋🏼♀️ LOL I think the shredded zucchini would make good hash browns, too. Thank you both for trying new recipes and giving me fresh ideas. I needed something new. 😊
Definitely give the zucchini a try, it is so good! I used to make it years ago with Old Bay in a recipe called poor Man's crab cakes. It is surprisingly accurate in flavor!
I absolutely love how you keep it real when making the recipes,showing the not so good parts mess ups. Just like real life, and you make me laugh out loud too!
I have started dry cooking cauliflower rice with salt pepper and garlic to be my hash brown substitute. I really like how it works with my egg breakfast.
To remove water from shredded cabbage, zucchini etc is to salt it (called sweating) in a strainer set on a bowl for a bit. Surprising how much water comes out. Wonder how it would come out in an airfryer? They sell tots made from Broccoli or Cauiflower in the store but lots of carbs.
I was thinking this.. use a grater and grate some cabbage and onion, would be more like shredded hashbrowns.. salt it to draw the water out.. then follow/form/cook.. just a thought.
I found and reviewed a brand of cauliflower tots called Nolita, I loved them but I stopped being able to find them... Looks like they went out of business... They were basically this cauliflower tot recipe... I'm ok making them, but sometimes it's nice to have something in the freezer that's ready to rock when you don't feel like cooking!
I have made a similar cabbage hash brown and chopped my cabbage much smaller, used less egg and made smaller patties. They tasted close to the potato version. I tried a version after with more egg and I didn’t like as much. I used a little coconut flour in mine. It’s a good way to reduce moisture.
I added a few tablespoons of almond flour to the shredded cabbage hashbrowns and it made all of the difference. they tasted just like latkes! i ate them with sour cream. i think i might eat them everyday , they were sooooo good!!! and green onions cooked into them, too. wonderful recipe; thank you for sharing that idea.
Both look delicious to me and I’ll definitely give them a shot! You made a good point about accepting dishes as they are, which I decided to do early on in keto. Most keto dishes aren’t going to replace anything but are tasty in their own right when you aren’t comparing them to something else.
Absolutely! I never knew, until after I concocted this meal that I enjoy it more than my traditional pasta dinner. I would par microwave a frozen bag of cauliflower rice and drain out the fluid. Put it in the bottom of a crockpot. Cover it with frozen meatballs and or sausage patty’s and strips of peppers. Pour an 8 ounce can of Hunts garlic, basil and oregano sauce (which only has 2 net carbs per 1/4 cup and costs less than a buck) and cook on low for a few hours. Before done cover with mozzarella cheese and finish til melts. My favorite, and totally guilt free meal!
I love watching the two of you.!!! You brighten my day. It is so enjoying watching you cook the recipes you pick. Iam learning a lot about Keto recipes and you make it fun. Keep up the good work. Love your videos.
You could try making either of these recipes in your chaffle maker. I’d probably shred the cabbage really finely. Love watching your videos. Helping me stay motivated!
When I make the tater tots, I pack them into a 24-cup mini muffin baking pan, which I spray with pan spray first. Sure does save a lot of time and headache, lol
I’ve heard that Jerusalem Artichoke is a good sub for potatoes. I’m thinking that a jerky shooter or a sausage stuffing attachment for a KitchenAid mixer might help in shaping the tots quicker. Make a rope and slice off increments. Thanks again for taking one for the team and tasting against the real thing (lol). I’ve tried the commercial veggie tots and was not a huge fan. Congratulations on the new sponsor too.
I am T2D and cant eat a lot of carbs, my daughter make me some cauliflower Tater tots and they are great. We use a juicer to remove most of the water from the cauliflower then toast it on the stove and it works great. Thanks, and love watching you both experiment with things.
I just ran across your channel a few days ago while looking for low carb food that wasn't boring. Wow! This is a gold mine. Thanks for sharing, you guys are just too cute. I enjoy the videos for the entertainment as well as the content.
My sister and I were literally just talking about that the thing we missed the most was bread and potatoes/French fries! I watched a TikTok video on TH-cam of Lowcarb Love making a chaffle with cauliflower rice. She called it a hash brown, I think.
I made the tater tots and they were really good mine came out like salmon Pattie’s without the salmon I added bacon and onion to mine also a lil paprika
I found a great recipe for keto pizza crust 😋 so easy and only 3 ingredients! 4 eggs 8 Oz of cream cheese and 3 cups of mozzarella cheese I soften the cream cheese and then put in the 3 eggs and mix with the stick blender then add in the 3 cups of mozzarella cheese. No need to melt the mozzarella cheese just add it in after mixing the eggs and cream cheese. Then spread it on a cookie sheet with parchment paper and put it in the oven for about 8 minutes on 425° that's it! I sometimes make it in the early afternoon and then add my stuff for the pizza on top and then bake it for another 8-9 minutes on 425 Enjoy!! I wish I could post some pictures of it! 🎉
I made the "viral recipe" chicken nuggets made from canned chicken and really liked them so I'm sure I'll like these "faux tater tots". Cheers from Ontario, Canada. I've been back on Keto since March. I always ask myself after a week "why did I even go off Keto", especially when it's such a yummy WOE. :)
Right on K Twins, Totally agree, CAN'T replicate a potato dish, but you CAN make a great tasty and satisfying dish in the process. K Twins, u r the bomb. Oh, also concerning the cabbage dish? Well yeah, brown the cabbage and onions first (that should rid much of the moisture), then combine in a bowl with the egg and a melty cheese like cheddar or mozz. Then make waffles in the Dash Waffle deally bob. Mmmmm, great side dish for along side you steak, burger patty or whatever. two thumbs up, Rocket
I LOVE cabbage as a replacement in rice stir fries. I cook the cabbage (chopped) in a pan with butter or ghee until desired crispiness. Ooommmmggggg.....my surprise at the utter deliciousness!!!! So versatile. Add anything you like!
It was fun watching you two cook the potato replacements. Luckily for me, I didn't eat many potatoes before keto so I don't miss them. Those pans are beautiful I'm almost afraid to look because I'm sure they are expensive.💜
I used 3 cups cauliflower, 2 3ggs and cheddar cheese with onionpowder garlis powder and smoked paprika. Baked in oven for 15 minutes on 350 then turn 180 degrees and broil on low for 5 minutes. 2 grams net carbs
Love this tater tot/nugget thing. I'm a fan of cabbage, but you're right. I tried caramelizing first then adding egg. Better. However, I think for those kind of hashbrowns cooked spaghetti squash gives a closer feel to potato.
Great video!! You both brighten my day! Thanks so much for these great ideas and the fact you are both so honest in your opinions. Not to mention, you give us suggestions on how to tweak them! Love you both!❤️❤️
I found when using radishes in keto cooking cut them how intending to use them, such as chunks for potato salad… shreds for hash browns etc., soak them in salt water over night. The harshness softens.
Thank you for all the encouragement and practical advice you provide to so many people. I have a substantial amount of weight to lose, and your honesty and vulnerability definitely resonate with me and help motivate me to stay the course. I have an observation that I have been thinking about sharing with you for a while, but I am concerned that it could be interpreted as critical, which it isn’t in any way. I suggest raising the camera you use in your videos a couple inches. In almost all your videos the camera shoots straight up your noses. I’ve dabbled in photography and one of the most important compositional considerations is to never shoot upward into someone’s nose. I think this applies to videos too. Please don’t take this as anything to make you feel self conscious. You’re both wonderful, lovely people. It’s just a tip from a very appreciative hobbyist photographer.
@@ketotwins I sincerely hope it is taken constructively. I saw your video about insecurities about photography and agonized about saying something. I love your channel and hope you give it a try and maybe make your content even better.
I am a resistance starch girl. A prebaked and refrigerated half of a potato grated into this recipe or spaghetti squash (my favorite) doesn’t spike my blood sugar at all,
Pretty cool! I did the cabbage hasg once before, but I used Sauerkraut :D I also dropped in the pork panko and cheese as well (I think it was a parm/romano combo)..... pretty good! Nice cookware, too.
Ladies I'd like to make a suggestion. Growing up here in the south a staple is chicken fried cauliflower. I've cooked it for kids who actually thought that it was fried chicken. I think it would make a simple tator tot that works well. I break the cauliflower down into large florets but smaller for tots will likely work well. Mix an egg with a bit of cream and season with salt and pepper. Now steam your cauliflower slightly. You don't want it too soft but still firm. Dip the florets in the egg wash and then dredge in whatever low carb flour you prefer the taste of. You need to deep fat fry them just as tator tots need to be cooked to have the best flavor. You could fry them in a small amount of fat and hope for the best. They should look like fried chicken when done. I would suggest doing a couple in wheat flour first to get an idea of how they should taste and then compare it to your low carb flour.
I discovered jicama it is the closest thing to a potato but low carb cut it up like french fries recipes can be found on Pinterest cook in air fryer delish! Pronounced hickama
Great video Ladies!! Thank you!🙏😀 I have seen there is a corn flavoring that can be added in certain recipes like keto corn bread. So I searched and found that Amoretti Premium Extracts has a potato flavoring (they also have many other extracts) that can be added to substitute potato recipes. Hmm.... That might be nice and make the recipe taste more like potatoes. However, it is $66.15 for 4 ounces (they've sold out of the 2 ounce bottles). Thank you again for the great video!! 😊🙏💖
3:34 "It's for science. We're not enjoying it." LMAO. It's really cool you got a set of cookware that you love! I just finished putting a new seasoning on my cast iron skillet, and that dude shines like glass. I'm pretty excited to start using it again.
@@ketotwins I just dove down the rabbit hole of Maria Emerich's egg white bread. There's a lot of experimenting happening in my kitchen lately (and a lot of failures). The keto science is important!
@@messengeroftruth17 I just had a thought. If you're not using a good metal spatula on your skillet, you should invest in one. I've even gone so far as to sharpen the edge of mine so that it really gets under whatever I'm cooking. Wooden utensils just aren't up to the task like metal ones are. After you're finished cooking, a splash of water while the skillet is still hot can assist in loosening everything for easier cleaning. Set the pan back on heat to dry it off completely and after that, a super fine slick of oil across it to maintain the season.
I just made bacon and have the fat and 3-of-6 rashers, as well as a smallish green cabbage, too. Spices depend on how I feel, but I do love the world of flavor open to me! I'll slice the purple onion from pole-to-pole to leave lovely strands, rather than cutting across the equator and having them melt into the sauce and create an odd color, heheh. This is also delicious with brats, Polish, or ?
Some extra information. Potatoes are high in B6 vitamin by 30%. B vitamins are somethings we crave when under stress. This is why fries and tots are a go to. B vitamins make you feel good. No other vegetable comes close in percentage. Broccoli 9% Asparagus 7% Brussel sprouts 11%. Sweet Peas are 27% but they are not keto friendly. Thanks so much for sharing Keto on TH-cam.
Love this gorgeous, safe cookware and your two recipes!!! I like the idea of caramelizing the cabbage first. I make a veggie tot with almond flour, mashed steamed carrot & chopped steamed broccoli & a little bit of garlic powder, baked. As you state in your video, if you accept these recipes for what they are, and not true replacements, they're great 😁
I like the idea of making this with slaw mix in smaller patties. I made cabbage steaks recently and they were wonderful (lots of garlic) so I imagine the cabbage hash browns will be equally as good. Thanks for the inspiration.
The cookware is beautiful. We have pampered chef products. I enjoy watching your channel and appreciate your collective effort on your content. Im not big on tater tots or hash browns but I do miss mashed potatoes....thanks for trying the recipes for us. I feel like it would save me time and effort doing it myself based on your reviews. God bless.
You guys are so funny, really enjoy your videos. I wanted to share with you that there are mesh bags you can get that you can drain the liquid off of vegetables instead of using a towel and they wash up very easily. I have a set that I got off Amazon that work great. They are IAesthete 2 Pack - 80 Micron Nut Milk Bag - 12X12 Inches 6.99. So much better than using a towel.
OMG! I love you two!!!!! I nearly pee'd my pants, you are so funny. I love your hacks. Thanks for sharing, brightening my day (work is stressful and you two help make it better) and giving your time for testing recipes. 💖❤️
I have a zucchini tot recipe I love, they taste nothing like potato but they are yummy! I usually make a huge batch and freeze them. They keep well in the freezer 😍
My zucchini tot recipe: 4 cups raw shredded zucchini 2 whole eggs 1/2 cup almond flour 2 oz sharp cheddar shredded Salt and pepper to taste Grate the zucchini, sprinkle with salt and allow to sit at least 20 mins to draw water out. Preheat oven to 400. Squeeze moisture from zucchini shreds with cheesecloth or a clean towel. In a large bowl combine all ingredients until well mixed. Spray cookie sheet with spray. Use a 1/2 tbsp measuring spoon to dip out tots, form and place on cookie sheet. Repeat till all the mix is used. (Freeze any you wont use that day at this point. Once frozen store in a freezer bag). Spray tots you are cooking now with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in oven 20-25 minutes or until lightly brown. Air fry 15 minutes or until lightly brown.
Love your new set of cookware,I decided to try improve my health with better choice,I replaced my cooking utensils with silicone,plastic should never be used with handling hot food,we can store food in plastic containers as long as food is completely at room temperature,but can’t reheat in them.Stainless steel Is ok,I bought silicone bowl and pan covers to put on glass bowls when reheating in microwave ,also bought silicone steamer and have many molds to make bread or buns etc... Love all your videos and thank you for sharing all these hacks with us
To get rid of cauliflower taste put the cooked cauliflower into a pan and slowly heat it up stirring as you go until all the water has evaporated and you see no steam.. It takes a while but so worth it! There isn't any cauliflower taste at all! I do this when I make faux potato salad.
So, the biggest downer on Keto for me might not be as much my considerable missing of bread and potatoes as it is the incredible amount of prep work it takes to disguise vegetables. So. Much. Extra. Work.
@@ketotwins Oh definitely. But much of the success of Keto for me is mental, and trying not to get discouraged about the limited food options. I'm so tired of the simple stuff, and so tired of going to a ton of work for variety but a small payoff. Honestly, it's easier to just skip the meal than do all the stuff. Which is also probably good for my weight loss...
I am absolutely in total laughter with you always struggling with new recipes LIKE ME🤪😜🤭 you are so entertaining but I am keeping all your recipes (because I have subscribed) so I can try them. Thank You beautiful young ladies.
I want to try the cabbage hashbrown but tweak it by chopping it in a food processor.... or maybe chopping it with cauliflower and maybe heavenly fans fry mixture. Who knows?
You should use a melon ball scoop to get the same amount before shaping? I think I would buy the cabbage that has already shredded (bagged in the salad section) You girls are a lot of fun to watch, BTW. :)

I do too. I use the angle hair slaw mix
Yummm Meeeee!!!

I found a great recipe for keto pizza crust 😋 so easy and only 3 ingredients!
4 eggs
8 Oz of cream cheese and
3 cups of mozzarella cheese
I soften the cream cheese and then put in the 3 eggs and mix with the stick blender then add in the 3 cups of mozzarella cheese. No need to melt the mozzarella cheese just add it in after mixing the eggs and cream cheese.

Well yeah, brown the cabbage and onions first (that should rid much of the moisture), then combine in a bowl with the egg and a melty cheese like cheddar or mozz. Then make waffles in the Dash Waffle deally bob. Mmmmm, great side dish for along side you steak, burger patty or whatever.
two thumbs up,

I love when you experiment and make low carb replacements. Thank you for sharing with us I just love you girls. 💕
❤️❤️🤗🤗
I LOVE cabbage as a replacement in rice stir fries. I cook the cabbage (chopped) in a pan with butter or ghee until desired crispiness. Ooommmmggggg.....my surprise at the utter deliciousness!!!! So versatile. Add anything you like!
I'm here for the science, 🔬⚗🧪🧫🧬, but I Stay for the Keto Twins Twinning 😉😁🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Yass
Haha it’s all in the name of keto research 🤣🤣 ❤️
It was fun watching you two cook the potato replacements. Luckily for me, I didn't eat many potatoes before keto so I don't miss them. Those pans are beautiful I'm almost afraid to look because I'm sure they are expensive.💜
You ladies are truly winners and are helping so many to become winners too..
🤗🥰🤗 thanks Donna!!
I used 3 cups cauliflower, 2 3ggs and cheddar cheese with onionpowder garlis powder and smoked paprika. Baked in oven for 15 minutes on 350 then turn 180 degrees and broil on low for 5 minutes. 2 grams net carbs
Love this tater tot/nugget thing.
I'm a fan of cabbage, but you're right. I tried caramelizing first then adding egg. Better.
However, I think for those kind of hashbrowns cooked spaghetti squash gives a closer feel to potato.
I’ve used radishes to replace potatoes, shredded they make good hash browns or corn beef hash.
I ordered an extract the taste like mashed potatoes, I ordered it online on Amazon and it really does help give you that potato paste.
What brand?
Great video!! You both brighten my day! Thanks so much for these great ideas and the fact you are both so honest in your opinions. Not to mention, you give us suggestions on how to tweak them! Love you both!❤️❤️
Aww thanks Thea, your delightful comments brighten our day too 🤗🤗
Thanks!🤗🤗
I found when using radishes in keto cooking cut them how intending to use them, such as chunks for potato salad… shreds for hash browns etc., soak them in salt water over night. The harshness softens.
I just watched "Low Carb Love" do a cauliflower rice with cheese in a waffle maker to make a hash brown. I'm trying it tomorrow
Excited about the sponsor of your video!
Thank you for all the encouragement and practical advice you provide to so many people. I have a substantial amount of weight to lose, and your honesty and vulnerability definitely resonate with me and help motivate me to stay the course.
I have an observation that I have been thinking about sharing with you for a while, but I am concerned that it could be interpreted as critical, which it isn’t in any way.
I suggest raising the camera you use in your videos a couple inches. In almost all your videos the camera shoots straight up your noses. I’ve dabbled in photography and one of the most important compositional considerations is to never shoot upward into someone’s nose. I think this applies to videos too.
Please don’t take this as anything to make you feel self conscious. You’re both wonderful, lovely people. It’s just a tip from a very appreciative hobbyist photographer.
Thanks for the tips!
@@ketotwins I sincerely hope it is taken constructively. I saw your video about insecurities about photography and agonized about saying something.
I love your channel and hope you give it a try and maybe make your content even better.
I am a resistance starch girl. A prebaked and refrigerated half of a potato grated into this recipe or spaghetti squash (my favorite) doesn’t spike my blood sugar at all,
Pretty cool! I did the cabbage hasg once before, but I used Sauerkraut :D I also dropped in the pork panko and cheese as well (I think it was a parm/romano combo)..... pretty good! Nice cookware, too.
Can't wait to try these,and so looking into the pans. Thank girls ur always fun to watch
Ladies I'd like to make a suggestion. Growing up here in the south a staple is chicken fried cauliflower. I've cooked it for kids who actually thought that it was fried chicken. I think it would make a simple tator tot that works well. I break the cauliflower down into large florets but smaller for tots will likely work well. Mix an egg with a bit of cream and season with salt and pepper. Now steam your cauliflower slightly. You don't want it too soft but still firm. Dip the florets in the egg wash and then dredge in whatever low carb flour you prefer the taste of. You need to deep fat fry them just as tator tots need to be cooked to have the best flavor. You could fry them in a small amount of fat and hope for the best. They should look like fried chicken when done. I would suggest doing a couple in wheat flour first to get an idea of how they should taste and then compare it to your low carb flour.
I discovered jicama it is the closest thing to a potato but low carb cut it up like french fries recipes can be found on Pinterest cook in air fryer delish! Pronounced hickama
I'm not keto, but I like to see recipes for better tasting vegetables. I'll definitely try the tatter tots.
I love that cookware especially because it’s non toxic now I have to check if it’s affordable
There is a silicone form for making Ice cubes you can slip into a soda bottle...smash that tot mix into , turn out, cut into size...easy peasy
Great video Ladies!! Thank you!🙏😀 I have seen there is a corn flavoring that can be added in certain recipes like keto corn bread. So I searched and found that Amoretti Premium Extracts has a potato flavoring (they also have many other extracts) that can be added to substitute potato recipes. Hmm.... That might be nice and make the recipe taste more like potatoes. However, it is $66.15 for 4 ounces (they've sold out of the 2 ounce bottles). Thank you again for the great video!! 😊🙏💖
Thanks for the suggestions Lisa!! -Em
Best KETO CHANNEL on TH-cam. These two have more talent in there little pinky. Gonna try tater tot recipe chaffel style.
Aww you are too kind, thank you!
I love how real you guys are! Your videos always make me smile 😄
3:34 "It's for science. We're not enjoying it." LMAO. It's really cool you got a set of cookware that you love! I just finished putting a new seasoning on my cast iron skillet, and that dude shines like glass. I'm pretty excited to start using it again.
What do you mean you put a new seasoning on your cast iron skillet? I find mine hard to clean. How do you clean your skillet?
Thanks Craig! It’s all for science, keto science 🤣
@@ketotwins I just dove down the rabbit hole of Maria Emerich's egg white bread. There's a lot of experimenting happening in my kitchen lately (and a lot of failures). The keto science is important!
@@messengeroftruth17 I just had a thought. If you're not using a good metal spatula on your skillet, you should invest in one. I've even gone so far as to sharpen the edge of mine so that it really gets under whatever I'm cooking. Wooden utensils just aren't up to the task like metal ones are. After you're finished cooking, a splash of water while the skillet is still hot can assist in loosening everything for easier cleaning. Set the pan back on heat to dry it off completely and after that, a super fine slick of oil across it to maintain the season.
@@craigslitzer4857 yup, i'm using big wooden spoons ...i will def try the splash of water while it's still hot - thank you!
I just made bacon and have the fat and 3-of-6 rashers, as well as a smallish green cabbage, too. Spices depend on how I feel, but I do love the world of flavor open to me! I'll slice the purple onion from pole-to-pole to leave lovely strands, rather than cutting across the equator and having them melt into the sauce and create an odd color, heheh. This is also delicious with brats, Polish, or ?
Some extra information. Potatoes are high in B6 vitamin by 30%. B vitamins are somethings we crave when under stress. This is why fries and tots are a go to. B vitamins make you feel good. No other vegetable comes close in percentage. Broccoli 9% Asparagus 7% Brussel sprouts 11%. Sweet Peas are 27% but they are not keto friendly. Thanks so much for sharing Keto on TH-cam.
I would think about trying hash browns made with el dente cooked jicama then blanch in ice water and fry in bacon fat with Lawry’s Season salt.
Love this gorgeous, safe cookware and your two recipes!!! I like the idea of caramelizing the cabbage first.
I make a veggie tot with almond flour, mashed steamed carrot & chopped steamed broccoli & a little bit of garlic powder, baked. As you state in your video, if you accept these recipes for what they are, and not true replacements, they're great 😁
I use a potato ricer to squeeze out the excess water from the cooked cauliflower.
I like the idea of making this with slaw mix in smaller patties. I made cabbage steaks recently and they were wonderful (lots of garlic) so I imagine the cabbage hash browns will be equally as good. Thanks for the inspiration.
Do u have recipe for cabbage streaks?
I suggest a silicone mini muffin pan for the future lol. Don't fill them full obv but it makes making these so much easier 😂
I buy Angel hair shredded cabbage. That would work well!
Oh, girls! Make the cabbage hash without the eggs, it is YUM!!! As always, great vid!! Love you!! 🥰💖
I have used zucchini for hash and it works and tastes great!
The cookware is beautiful. We have pampered chef products. I enjoy watching your channel and appreciate your collective effort on your content. Im not big on tater tots or hash browns but I do miss mashed potatoes....thanks for trying the recipes for us. I feel like it would save me time and effort doing it myself based on your reviews. God bless.
Thanks so much Brian!
Thank You. I've been looking for a hash brown replacement.
You guys are so funny, really enjoy your videos.
I wanted to share with you that there are mesh bags you can get that you can drain the liquid off of vegetables instead of using a towel and they wash up very easily. I have a set that I got off Amazon that work great. They are IAesthete 2 Pack - 80 Micron Nut Milk Bag - 12X12 Inches 6.99. So much better than using a towel.
Oh wow thanks so much Claudia! I bought some :) can’t wait to try it! -Em
I've made cabbage hasbrowns and zucchini hashbrowns. Zucchini was the winner for us. Doesn't taste like potato but it was good.
Try pushing them into a silicone ice cube tray, then you can just pop them out onto your baking sheet.
Great idea!
Such a smart idea!
OMG! I love you two!!!!! I nearly pee'd my pants, you are so funny. I love your hacks. Thanks for sharing, brightening my day (work is stressful and you two help make it better) and giving your time for testing recipes. 💖❤️
Thanks for thinking we are funny Kasey! 😂We appreciate you taking the time to watch our videos 🤗
@@ketotwins EVERY DAY!!! 💝
Thanks for being honest. I love your reviews.
I have a zucchini tot recipe I love, they taste nothing like potato but they are yummy! I usually make a huge batch and freeze them. They keep well in the freezer 😍
My zucchini tot recipe:
4 cups raw shredded zucchini
2 whole eggs
1/2 cup almond flour
2 oz sharp cheddar shredded
Salt and pepper to taste
Grate the zucchini, sprinkle with salt and allow to sit at least 20 mins to draw water out. Preheat oven to 400. Squeeze moisture from zucchini shreds with cheesecloth or a clean towel. In a large bowl combine all ingredients until well mixed. Spray cookie sheet with spray. Use a 1/2 tbsp measuring spoon to dip out tots, form and place on cookie sheet. Repeat till all the mix is used. (Freeze any you wont use that day at this point. Once frozen store in a freezer bag). Spray tots you are cooking now with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in oven 20-25 minutes or until lightly brown. Air fry 15 minutes or until lightly brown.
Might as well turn that cabbage dish into a keto okonomiyaki! Add some soy sauce, carrot, green onion and pour keto BBQ sauce on top! Yum!
Love your new set of cookware,I decided to try improve my health with better choice,I replaced my cooking utensils with silicone,plastic should never be used with handling hot food,we can store food in plastic containers as long as food is completely at room temperature,but can’t reheat in them.Stainless steel Is ok,I bought silicone bowl and pan covers to put on glass bowls when reheating in microwave ,also bought silicone steamer and have many molds to make bread or buns etc...
Love all your videos and thank you for sharing all these hacks with us
Thanks Odette!!!
❤ this video reminds me of my Bachelorette life in Chicago. Soooo many Sundays looked like this❤
To get rid of cauliflower taste put the cooked cauliflower into a pan and slowly heat it up stirring as you go until all the water has evaporated and you see no steam.. It takes a while but so worth it! There isn't any cauliflower taste at all! I do this when I make faux potato salad.
Yes we also do that too!
I think I might try pressing the tater tot mix into greased muffin top pans to make extra large crowns. The crispier the better, right?
So, the biggest downer on Keto for me might not be as much my considerable missing of bread and potatoes as it is the incredible amount of prep work it takes to disguise vegetables.
So. Much. Extra. Work.
If you eat simply, AKA meat and veggies, its the easiest way and honestly the most successful way to do keto.
@@ketotwins
Oh definitely. But much of the success of Keto for me is mental, and trying not to get discouraged about the limited food options. I'm so tired of the simple stuff, and so tired of going to a ton of work for variety but a small payoff. Honestly, it's easier to just skip the meal than do all the stuff. Which is also probably good for my weight loss...
Maybe a large ice cube tray would work to shape the tots equally.
Use a box shredder on the cabbage and fry it up without the egg using oil and butter mix until caramelized, It's great!!!
Wonderful idea! Thanks for the tip!! -Em
I am absolutely in total laughter with you always struggling with new recipes LIKE ME🤪😜🤭 you are so entertaining but I am keeping all your recipes (because I have subscribed) so I can try them. Thank You beautiful young ladies.
I use a hand held ricer gadget to squeeze the water out of
My squash and zucchini when making patties or bread. It really gets it dry
That cabbage meal would probably be good with some sweet chili aioli on top
I want to try the cabbage hashbrown but tweak it by chopping it in a food processor.... or maybe chopping it with cauliflower and maybe heavenly fans fry mixture. Who knows?
Hey love your videos for me for hash browns I use rutabaga shredded and cook just like you would regular potatoes add your fav seasoning your set
You should use a melon ball scoop to get the same amount before shaping?
I think I would buy the cabbage that has already shredded (bagged in the salad section)
You girls are a lot of fun to watch, BTW. :)
Fry cabbage mixture in bacon grease. Yummmm
Use celery root as a replacement for potatoes in a hash.
Maybe fry the cabbage in bacon drippings with onion then make your “hash browns“
