hash browns (vid)
Updated with vid
So I asked the question on SCS. Lots of info there.
(link fixed)
OK the results are in.
If you care here is how stuff is laid out.
left top, cast iron skillet:
Left side cooked potato
right side raw potato
right bottom,non stick pan:
Left side cooked potato
right side raw potato
veg oil and a bit of butter in each pan
I cooked the tater in the microwave for 4 mins. It was pretty much baked. Easy to shred, but came out a bit smooshed
The pan really did not matter. The cast iron cooked the taters much faster and resulted in a crispier texture. I used a bit too much oil, but if I made a whole batch of hash browns it would of been about right.
so besides the pan they were cooked in, the raw potatoes were the favorite of both of us.
Raw:
- Crispier
- looked better
- rigid
- more potatoesque
Cooked:
- mushy prob from over cooking
- flavor not too potato like
- held the grease
Sweet Steve… Your cam setup worked like a champ! Bike helmets rule!

There is a reason I did not show the eggs
I get all cited and nervous when it comes to making easy side up
Got a really good deal on some caphlon non stick pans and the curve of the edge is perfect for flippin. The dogs still get lots of stuff to clean off the floor.
