What's on the grill, folks?

Looks dynamite Glenn! How'd you cut them spuds so thin?? That's a fav meal for us for sure!

[glenn57]

There boiled up taters. And I used this gizmo. You can make hash browns with it as well as the sliced ones like you see there!

[Dotch]

Looks kinda like your jar rings...

I bought a different one not to long ago, they still make them.

[Bobberineyes]

Just checked with momma,  we have one also..lol.

[Dotch]

I had one like that too. Like a lot of the cookware from my bachelor days, it disappeared once I got married. Was a lot better than the flat one the wife had. It wasn't even rusty! 

[mike89]

I have one like that but it's a brighter color!!!   

[LPS]

Mine too.  Kind of chrome. 

[mike89]

yup same color!!!!

[glenn57]

  well maybe mine has been used more!!!!! and has more character!!!!!!!

[Bobberineyes]

[mike89]

I do it all the time. Boil the spuds with the skin still on!

Used to buy taters by the 50 lb bag and make my own hash browns!!👍

They are the best.  Just like Grandma did it.

[mike89]

my Mom made them is how I learned..   

Glenn the taters freeze good then??

[LPS]

Baked ones is what my Grandma did.  Then slice for American fries.  I do it sometimes too. 

[mike89]

that would work too...  I would like to make some twice bakers too sometime...

[LPS]

Haven't had those in a long time.  They were great stuffed with cheese and other stuff.

yep freeze up just fine. i take a cake pan, spray it with cooking oil, then make them into the hash browns with my "grater"  pad them down a bit. run a knife threw them to make them into squares. put in freezer.

take them out and nuke for about 45 seconds.......they pop right out, break apart and put in a bag and throw back in the freezer till ya need some!!!!!!

[Bobberineyes]

Sorry fellas, you guys lost me at boiling taters, must be an old person thing. We've boiled for squished taters but when we do "fried" they are fried, not soft but a nice crunch.. an old pic. Is all I was saying.

[Dotch]

Done it both ways. Cut up and fried, it takes less time if they're already boiled first but I probably like frying them raw with onions better. The house smells awesome for a day or so. The onions sometimes don't get cooked as well when using the boiled potatoes. When making hashbrowns, boiled and refrigerated overnite works better for me. They get done more evenly and it's easier to get them crispy more quickly. Speaking of that I have some Kennebecs I got from Auntie Mar Mar I should boil up for hashbrowns this weekend. Could press the easy button and do patties in the air fryer but still tough to beat fried in a pan, especially if I want to get creative with onions and cheese.

Ok I will try boiled and then cut up for American fries then.  Man that sounds good.  Picked up a dozen eggs large for $5.89 appx today.  That and some sausage with the eggs and spuds is an awesome breakfast. 

[glenn57]

I never boil them and then fry them right away. They've been in the fridge for a while.

Big snow comin' so time to manufacture leftovers. Two pork loin filets, one plain, seasoned with "Martin Co. Magic" & the other a dry rub topped with applewood bacon. Added applewood smoke courtesy of our Honeycrisp tree at the ranch. Mrs. Cheviot attempted to pursue me with her knee scooter but I ditched her in the 1st snowbank I saw. Yep glenn, still have those knives you covet. 

[Bobberineyes]

Dang that looks great Dotch!! 

[LPS]

Still eating those big radishes I see.
