DUDES! I'm Totally Doing this this morning!!!!! Thanks for sharing that paper towel tip!!!! Awesome, just Awesome!

[@waltwins]

Right?! Hash browns was one I always wanted to get right - we are so happy it turned out just as good on the Blackstone - it cooks much faster than inside, but still awesome. Thanks so much for the support man!🤙🤙

[@waltwins]

Wahoo!! So glad! We know there are other ways to do it, but this is one that has been really successful for us.

Always like going back to video when I get read to cook what you cooked ....love you guys thanks for doing what you do

[@reedpacker888]

We are from East Idaho where the best potatoes are grown and we do a lot of hash browns. Thing is, we just bake them the night before to get the liquid out. No paper towels needed. Works great.

[@waltwins]

Thank you so much for watching! I can imagine living in Idaho, you HAVE to know how to do all the potato cooks!😜 - another excellent suggestion, thank you!🤙🤙

[@MrNytrosdad]

Silly question but do you bake them then throw them on the grill??

[@reedpacker888]

@@MrNytrosdad You need to let them cool then you peel them and shred them. Used lots of butter. I mean a lot of butter and some salt and pepper. Let them get crunchy in spots. It will be more of a hash than patties.

I can imagine it’s fun being able to do so many cooks while camping on the Blackstone!

[@bobbicatton]

I hit the thumbs up before I even watched. I knew you would nail this❣️ Nice that you mentioned using cheese cloth. Regular dish towels work too. A part of me cringes every time I use paper towels, but I don't judge those that do.

[@waltwins]

Awesome!! Thank you so much! Yes, we’d love to use cheese cloth, but try to show what regular Blackstoners may have at their disposal - thank you for not Judging Bobbi!🤗🤗

[@edmclaughlin4923]

OK my friends, I am convinced starch does not need to be removed. As promised I am giving my breakfast report on the Blackstone today. The bacon, scrabble, sausage went very well as usual. I learned a few things. The number two settings on the two left burners did not do it for the potatoes. Not in 50 degree weather. I think next time I will boost to 3 and leave the right two burners full. Also I think butter or oil is key to the browning of the potatoes. The hash brown cook stalled the food delivery for the troops today! LOL! The reports for the hash browns came back positive and I learned about my hot zones on my blackstone. The scrambled and over easy eggs were a breeze after the hash browns came off. We processed 8 potatoes and only used 3 of them so we put the rest in the freezer and we will try the cook again. Next time with more heat and more butter. Enjoyed your videos and would like a refresh on how you would prepare a big breakfast. I had my family 5 out of 6 plus my Dad and his wife. It was a crew to cook for! Take it easy guys! Love watching your videos.

[@waltwins]

Wow, thank you for the report!😄 Yes, we should take into account when offering heat advice, suggestions are related to where you are cooking - Florida will differ from up north - especially in the winter. So happy it worked out. Figuring the heat is key to successful cooks. Good luck and GRIDDLE ON!🤙🤙

Great video guys another one out of the park. Tip for straining clothes. Go to fabric store and buy muslin. It's cheap! Get a few yards. You can make muslin towels or bags. Use pinking shears or zig zag see a seam all the around. Note! Don't fold for seam. Trim the sides close to seam. Then wash cloth on cold to minimize shrinking. Hang to dry. No drier or it will shrink more. Now you have better then cheese cloth. They can be rewashed until they no longer hold together😂

It's funny . I just watched Jenny Jones make her hash browns the other day . Everything you guys said is exactly what she said . She cooked hers on the stove in a none stick frying pan . 15 mins per side and it was ready . She stressed the fact about 15 mins . Then again you guys were using the griddle . Great video.

[@waltwins]

Haha! She was so straightforward! Yes, in fact, we have done these before inside, and we stressed the 15 minutes, before discussing (not filmed) they the griddle would cook quicker - we were anxious to see if the 15 minutes per side would stick! I think if we were to do them on low, it would have been 15 minutes per side. Thank you so much for watching!🤙🤙

Being from Louisiana we always have some of the "Holy Trinity" around. That would be onion, celery and bell pepper. You can invite the "Pope" ( minced garlic) if you like too. I use about 1 part "HT" to 2 parts potato. And top with some of my favorite cheeses. Can even add some sweet Roma tomato slices under the cheese if you feel froggy.

[@waltwins]

Haha!! We love this comment! So descriptive!!😂😂. Thank you so mucin for watching fam!!🤙🤙

[@HeirloomGameCalls]

@@waltwins It can ALMOST replace some seasonings. Blanch the celery before cutting and then mjx with equal parts onion and bell pepper (My wife.likes to mix the colors on the bell pepper) and freeze in batches. Usually a cup or 2 for each batch. Then, just like corn, straight from the freezer to the heater.

[@bwhatever2010]

I love homemade hash browns. I found a new and easier trick the other day to make these on the Blackstone. I took one large potato and did not peal it. I put it in the microwave for 2-3 minutes (wrapped in a paper towel) Took it out and cut in half and let it cool.. Then grated it (peel and all). No need to dry the water off. It kind of sticks together to form the hash browns. And they don't turn that brown yucky color like I have had in the past. And then cook on the black stone.

[@waltwins]

Excellent process! We will definitely have to give this one a try for sure - sounds excellent!!💙💙

[@johncollins1917]

Would have never thought of drying the potatoes before griddling...I have made homemade hashbrowns many times so very interested in seeing how drying the grated potatoes changes or impacts the flavor...thanks for the tip!!!

[@waltwins]

When you make them best, let us know how it turns out!

[@danielmccaf]

Looks amazing. You could make that into a kind of nacho base... melt some Canadian cheddar or colby onto it, drop on some griddled loose meat cooked on the side, onion and veg, sprinkle a little scallion, and top with salsa, sour cream and guac. Nacho hash brown!

[@waltwins]

Yes - the spatch for shizzle was the star! We were so happy to finally get hash browns right they weren’t mushy - thank you Jenny Jones!😜

[@OQO00]

The reason you need to use so many papers towels is because you cut the potatoes on a cheese grater. A grater is going to break apart the cells of the potato, causing it to leek water. If you use a Mandolin, you won't break open nearly as many potato cells. you can make very very fine matchsticks that are easier to work with and require absolutely no drying.

[@waltwins]

Thank you so much for the tip! We have found, however, that with potatoes that retain their water, the hash browns end up being very mushy - if we deep fried them, it is a different case, but for the hash browns, it is. Have you found that for a patty like this using the Mandolin slicer works? Take care Mohammed!

[@OQO00]

@@waltwins Thank you for the reply! From my understanding of the basic anatomy of a potato, the process of grating causes the potato cell to rupture, releasing water (like I said earlier) but in this process, something else happens. Pectin, which is the chemical compound that helps fruits and vegetables keep their shape, cross links with calcium ions, making the pectin stronger. This makes it very hard to break down the pectin and soften the potato, in the case of the types of hash browns you cook here, it's good because it keeps your hash browns from getting mushy. However for something like mashed potatoes, this would be very bad because no matter how long you boiled the potatoes, they would always be firm and never whip up into a smooth mash. So to answer your question, when you slice the potatoes with a Mandolin (or a sharp knife) to make matchsticks, you rupture fewer potato cells, keeping the calium away from the pectin. In turn the potatoes soften more as they cook. This is a trade-off I am personally willing to make because I find the process of grating potatoes by hand and drying them off to be a pain in the neck. In turn you get something that has more the texture of a Rösti (swiss potato cake) than a traditional American hash brown.

[@waltwins]

Oh wow! Thank you so much for the information, and taking the time to explain it - we will definitely experiment more with the potatoes and cuts! We are always eager to learn new things, especially with regards to cooking! You are awesome! Take care Mohammed!🤙🤙

Sorry I’m still commenting on older videos but thanks for sharing another great video

[@waltwins]

Never a problem, we always appreciate it fam! Much love!!🤙🤙🔥🔥

[@TheOctapodi]

Awesome video, thx! In terms of moisture removal, would it work to leave the shredded potatoes on a baking sheet in the fridge overnight? I do this same thing with rice before making fried rice and it seems to work well.

[@waltwins]

Thank you so much for watching! The only issue we have found with potatoes, is after a short amount t of time they begin to turn pinkish, and then brown. The rice works excellent as it can dry out without turning. Hope this helps!!🤙🤙

Hey guys. This was a GRATE video! Just got back from our vacation to Branson, MO and catching up on videos. I did not know the keys were behind the camera. Great trick :) These hasbrowns looked good. They do take a while to make, but they did seem very good. I LOVE hasbrowns. On Saturdays, I like to make a big breakfast for everyone and one of the things with it is hashbrowns. You have to have hashbrowns with eggs right?? That crunch sounds good as well! Seems like everything is better on the Blackstone. Is that true :) Another wonderful production. Hope you guys had a good weekend. God bless and Griddle On!

[@waltwins]

Oh awesome! How as the vacation? We went to high school with Ben Dutton - did you see The Duttons perform? We know the family - great people! (Actually, I cant remember if they still have their show there!!) - thank you for watching! Agreed, these were so crunchy and would be an excellent addition to a big breakfast! 🤙🤙

[@LudlowCooks]

Awesome

[@waltwins]

Thank you! We are so happy to finally have a legit from scratch recipe to us in the Blackstone. 🤙🤙

[@T.T.LovesAmbience]

You guys are funny. " I'm just imagining this in slop... lol." I'm definitely going to try them .. they look good.

[@waltwins]

😂😂. Thank you so much for watching and laughing with us fam!!💙💙🔥🔥

[@withlittleman]

You know what time it is... smothered and covered is how I like mine cheers I'll eat to that my brotha!

[@waltwins]

Oh yeah! This is just the “how to” vid, so now we can use this cook to do some big time cooks, covered and smothered brotha!!🤙🤙

[@rdotskeven]

Word of the day #Shananagizing from the #Waltwins. You guys are awesome and make me #BLOL. I literally just made a rendition these with seasoned shredded potatoes. Used my new 6 Ring Orange Silicone #Blackstone Egg / Pancake Mold to make them. Shredded and dried my potatoes, added an egg, some seasoning and a little flour to make them hold together a little. Wanted to make 3 Hash Brown Patties so I made 6 balls of seasoned shredded hash browns (like you do with the beef for smash burgers), put it into the Mold and flattened it down … then I put a piece of old cheddar on it and topped with another ball shredded potatoes and pressed it all together. Creates a great pocket of cheese in the middle of the potato cake. #Yummers. They are one of my many forms of potato breakfast patties.

[@waltwins]

Oh man, that’s next level stuff right there!! We will have to give that a try for sure!! We love doing the hash browns on the griddle, and would love to do more with them. Much love brother, stay safe!🔥🔥🤙🤙

[@rdotskeven]

@@waltwins Even better when used underneath some basted eggs . Stay safe and happy griddlin brothers. Kevin🎗

[@huggyjd]

Looks so good. My wife asks if you can make a video for the Longhorn restaurant parmesan encrusted chicken on your blackstone one day.

[@waltwins]

Oh wow, what a great suggestion! Okay, we will add it to our list of cooks to get right, and then do a video. Thank you so luv for watching and for the suggestion!🤙🤙

[@TheCrazyPop]

Dad jokes and magic tricks!!!!!! Your right, squeeze out the moisture...very important!!!! GREAT lookin hash brown!!!!!

[@waltwins]

Yes! We had tried other methods to try and dry the potatoes - this simple roll in towels method was awesome. Thank you so much for watching!🤙🤙

[@FunniestUnfunnyGuy]

Yay I love hash browns

[@waltwins]

Woot woot! Then this ones for you Phil!💪😜

[@hobbinns]

So what are your main go to oils. Vegetable and olive?

[@waltwins]

Thank you so much for watching! Typically, yes - we will use avocado oil when we have it as well - it’s another great one. 🤙🤙

[@MartySteinberg]

Do you have a link to that big spatula? I like dropping a few knobs of butter on top before flipping it, adds a little love to the flavor. Thanks for the drying technique, will definitely try that next time.

[@waltwins]

Hey! Thank you so much for watching! We are so happy to have this technique - saved our hash browns for sure! Here’s the link to the spatula: www.walmart.com/ip/Blackstone-Signature-Series-Stainless-Steel-Hamburger-Spatula/915675468 Take care!🤙🤙

[@jeff.bruenderman6280]

You guys are the best

[@waltwins]

Wow, thank you so much for that!🤙🤙

[@TygerBlueEyes]

Towels? Wow. I never have to worry about water. Every week I instant pot 2 or 3 potatoes and use them over a couple days. Hash browns come out dry and cook fast. This is good to know if I have to make hash browns on short notice.

[@waltwins]

That’s a great suggestion and way to have them prepped! For sure, if you don’t have the potatoes ready this is a good tip with the towels - thank you so much for watching!🤙🤙

[@rhinomite5203]

My 2 cents or sense?? Big bowl on counter, strainer bowl inside big bowl, all the potatoes in the strainer, and a smaller bowl on top of potatoes, press a few times then dry with a few paper towels. Just a suggestion. Looks like grip of badass browns there fellas

[@waltwins]

Love the suggestion! We were happy to find the Jenny Jones method which works for sure after marking too many batches of mushy hash browns. We’ll have to give your method a go man!🤙🤙

[@outdoorlivingmanitoba3392]

literally the only way i make hash-browns now. So delicious. Il eat to that, my brother.

[@waltwins]

Yes! So worth it! If we find a quicker way to dry them, we’ll share it!🤙🤙

[@chilidog1]

Oh man guys those looked great!! Those a little bit smaller round would make for some kick butt BUNS for a Smash Burger too!! 😮💥

[@waltwins]

Oh heck yes!! We’ve also talked about using them for some breakfast tacos! Someday for sure!!🔥🔥

[@davidhoweth1902]

What temperature would you use if you use the blackstone electric griddle?

[@waltwins]

Hi David! Thank you so much for watching… cooking them on medium high heat is key… so on the E griddle, I’d say around 375-400. Be patient, and let the bottom cook for a good 10-15 minutes. The surface will lose temp when you put the good on it, so keep that in mind…😁

[@mosierboy3631]

That was awesome! I totally dig how descriptive you fellas were! Awesome video brothas!! I’ll pass on the ketchup! BABAAM!!

[@waltwins]

Wow, thank you fam! These termed out perfect! We’ve been told a salad spinner would help fry them out is well, something we’ll give a try soon! GRIDDLE ON FAM!🤙🤙🔥🔥

[@DavinStuder]

If you have a potato ricer that is much easier and less messy for getting out the water. Plus you don't waste a bunch of paper towels.

[@waltwins]

Great suggestion, and thank you for watching! We don’t have a ricer, but will definitely look into getting one! 🤙🤙

[@benbukky8059]

Used a potato ricer this morning - worked great - less mess - rinsed them in the ricer before squeezing the water out. Thank you boys for a wonderful video.

[@TheSillyKitchenwithSylvia]

Don't forget the salt! Love a good hash brown!

[@waltwins]

Haha! Right?! We almost forgot! We also love adding Lowry’s seasoning - makes it more like “seasoned” hash browns similar to fries from Red Robin. 😄😄

[@TheSillyKitchenwithSylvia]

@@waltwins I don't think I have a Red Robin here in Canada but I'll take your word for it!

[@waltwins]

The Silly Kitchen with Sylvia oh yay! We love our Canadian friends! The seasoned fries are greasy - usually a mix with paprika/tumeric - delish!🤗🤗

[@TheSillyKitchenwithSylvia]

@@waltwins mmm! Love it!

[@ChefsBackyard]

Yeahhhhhh on the flip! G B D! Yessss

[@waltwins]

Woot woot!! Thank you so much man!🤙🤙

[@belangerpw1]

Can you put those potatoes shreds into a salad spinner to help remove some moisture

[@waltwins]

What a great question! We’ll try it out!

[@restylesecrets8251]

yes, a salad spinner works very well.

[@JWimpy]

@@restylesecrets8251 Thanks, I was wondering if it would. I didn't have one and hated to buy one just to see. Now I will be looking for one.

[@kewlbns69]

how many dads does it take to make hash browns? 2...one to grate the potatoes, and there's the other one! :D

🤣🤣🤣. For reals!! I am legit laughing out loud! That’s just awesome!!🤙🤙

[@jesusfreak1568]

Okay here's a Dad joke for you. A rope walks into a bar and asks for a drink. The bartender says I'm sorry we don't serve ropes here. The rope walked out a little frustrated. Then a lightbulb went off! He got himself all twisted up and started pulling apart the end of his rope. He thought now I'm ready. He walked back into the bar and the bartender says look I'm really sorry but we don't serve ropes here. And he looked at the bartender and said "I'm a frayed knot!" 😆😂🤣

[@waltwins]

Haha! It's so bad, which is what makes it so good! 😂😂🔥🔥

[@bobgray617]

Those looked fantastic. Did you ever get around to the breakfast burrito with a hash brown "tortilla"? I haven't seen it yet.

[@waltwins]

Thank you brother!! Not yet! It’s still on the list, but we haven’t had time to work on it - I’ll get Brett to work on it in his “test kitchen!” 😉😉

[@jakeh3144]

I've watched a few hashbrown/blackstone videos so far and I'm surprised I haven't heard anyone mention Simply Potatoes yet. Much better than frozen.

[@waltwins]

Very interesting, Jake! We will have to try them! Thanks for the suggestion brother! Griddle on!!😁❤️🤙
