    I did it! I figured out the tricks to getting crispy fried hash browns- and there's three big ones. Clarified Butter, rinsing the starch off the potato and having a lid while cooking. Enjoy the video!

      you are in big trouble Mister
      if you mean strain it through a coffee filter- you mean it clogs the filter and the clarified part flows on the counter top then yes.
      good plan. once i sopped the clarified butter off the counter into the cup. then i was in tall cotton.
      my wife is not very happy with this method.
      maybe i will buy some from wally’s next trip to town

      I graduated le cordon Bleu myself. It's not my profession but I did graduate. One of the biggest lesson I learned was the clarification of butter. There are many things I learned but that was the main secret to restaurant style food, in my opinion

    Sir, I sincerely hope that you are added to a list of those men and women of historical value to the United States of America. Your cooking techniques and abilities are made from a time honored way of cooking from our fore-mother’s and father’s. As times have changed, so we few men are changing and cooking, cleaning, and doing many more household chores that women were traditionally expected to be done. Well, traditions have obviously changed, and with your help in the cooking aspects, we men are accepting and excelling at this new aspect of our daily lives within the family. I believe all women believe we should have done this decades sooner, which is now becoming a natural thing for men to do in the household. Again, thank you Sir for teaching us the way “old” America was built in the kitchen, and how we men can help our help-mates now and in the future. We men must honor our wives in doing what we can to making their lives more comfortable and easy to manage.

    We always use leftover cooked potatoes (boiled or baked doesn't matter. Russets are best.) Grate them, mix in some salt and pepper, cook them in a medium-hot skillet with a lid, with bacon grease as the fat. When they're brown on the bottom, put the lid aside, flip them over and cook until brown on the second side.

    • @ResidualConfusion
      @ResidualConfusion 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      But they will taste different and have a different texture. My mother always used cooked potatoes (no bacon fat ever) for hash browns because she didn't know about washing away the starch. They were OK, but they weren't like restaurant hash browns. I asked her why they weren't and she didn't know. I was thirtyish before I learned how to do hash browns and fried potatoes that were crispy on the surface but not gluey in the center. I vastly prefer the texture and flavor to that of those made from pre-cooked potatoes. Not saying yours are wrong. They're just different. The world would be incredibly boring if we all liked exactly the same thing. :)

    • @lsteiner
      @lsteiner 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cleaning and re-seasoning can take some time. I inherited an old skillet that was really "crunchy" as you say; After all the cleaning etc. I got it to the point where it was smooth as a baby's bum. Now after each use, I clean it with a bit of soap and water, using chain mail, which even removes the stubborn bits. I know, soap is not advised, but there is a follow-up step: Set the stove on medium high and dry the skillet this way. When it is dry, put a few drops of high-heat oil in there (I use avocado) and get it almost to the smoking point. Then wipe it all around with a paper towel. This sounds like it might take a bit of time, but it is actually a fast process. I have now been doing this since 2012, and have never again had to re-season that skillet. Once you are in the habit, you will have shiny smooth non-stick skillet every time, ready when you need it!

      There's a lot of things in this video that keeps the hash browns from turning to mush. The rinse takes away the starch "slime", (this is also how rice is done right). Getting rid of excess moisture is the second thing - this is done by patting them down and salt; salt before cooking dries things out; not good for eggs, but great for potatoes. The salt step shouldn't be skipped, even if trying to avoid salt. Just let the potatoes soak in lightly salted water for about 10 minutes, (add a few ice cubes), and rinse them again to remove excess salt before drying.
