[@cherylgillean3099]

You two are so beautiful. Makes me miss my mother so much when I watch the 2 of you. She passed away in 1999 .... way too early.... I love these videos and your relationship. Just thought you would like to know that you are so blessed to have each other.

[@Tinamar65]

Cheryl Gillean I feel you Cheryl!🙏🏻💕

[@adammcguk]

Same with me. Your interaction reminds me of my mother. You two are great!

[@PotatoWisdom]

I wrote an entire recipe book dedicated to potatoes and this is one of my favorite ways to cook them! I usually add spinach or finely chopped broccoli and spices

[@sunnygirl87]

Potato Wisdom I think chopped onion would be amazing added to the potatoes and carrots.

[@kristidyson443]

Hi Jeannine! It’s Kristidyson from UWL. Good ideas as always. I had about 4 medium Yukon golds left from my batch this week. I left them sitting in my ipot too long and they were a little soggy on the inside. I decided to shred them and do the HBs on my cuisinart griddle. I have the pro model and it just has a flat surface. I cooked them anyhow and I dipped them in my straightupfood.com mushroom gravy that I’ve been obsessed with. I just warmed the gravy up and rolled my HB into a tortilla and dipped. The spuds were super soft bc of overcooking so they ended up smushed like a tortilla.

[@TheAmazingJimmy]

Can you please provide a link to your book?

[@Robin7-26]

Do you put them in frozen (I buy Trader Joe's frozen shredded potatoes) or do you thaw them first?

[@pushingplants2122]

@@TheAmazingJimmy Here's her website potatoreset.com/

[@christym.814]

I tried these last night. Mine took 30 minutes. Wait it out and you’ll be rewarded with an amazing crunchy treat. I had my Griddler on the highest heat. Thanks, Ann and Jane! Love, Love, Love this delicious crunchy treat-enough to eat it every day! My family is begging for more! And love your show!!

[@MelKnitsInOly]

Thanks! Just bought a Cuisinart Griddler at Macy's so i can make these for Sunday Brunch! I'm using Simply Potatoes brand Shredded Hash Browns which are in the refrigerated section. Question please: if you use frozen hash browns you should thaw them first before putting in the grill...right?

[@CampMelp]

Melanie Drescher Totally not necessary to thaw them, but spices do stick to them better if you do!

[@katherinehall1967]

Christy M. Hi Christy! Just got my griddler two days ago. By the highest heat setting, you mean the panini grill setting, right? (right hand knob)? I think the left hand griddle setting only heats the bottom plate. Not sure; still getting acquainted with my sweet new toy.

[@carlacookingvegan]

Omg I just Love ❤️ the mom. She always makes me laugh. The emotions you ladies show on your face is priceless.

[@lloydmares]

O. M. G. Delicious. I just made these with garlic and onion powder. No need for a french fry to ever touch these lips again. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. These are awesome!

[@donnaflaherty9660]

Can you give us an idea how long to cook them for?

[@tonyaparham2179]

I watched this video and thought, "I really want a panini press so I can make these!" So, I showed the video to my wife who LOVES potatoes. She was so excited at the prospect of crispy potato goodness she told me, "Order one of those things. Order it now!" So, I did and she made plans for the day it was delivered that I would be making these hash browns and the SOB Burgers. We had both yesterday and they were fabulous! Thank you guys for these videos they are so super helpful and Ann is just my guru now after having this and the 'dry" oats with grapes! I love you guys! THANK YOU! HUGE HUGS!

[@catbrodeur623]

I am in *love* with this idea! They never ever crunch like that off of the stove... the simplest ideas are oftentimes the best ones...great video 💚

[@emilymarshall5523]

One of my favorites! So easy!! I will spread avocado on half, add some sautéed spinach, onion and garlic then fold it into a sandwich!

[@SeventiesGirl1961]

I wish some frozen veg company in Australia would package up shredded potato like that without oil. Every single potato product here is laden with oil. It would be so convenient to be able to make crispy spuds like that. 💚✌

[@onionguts]

Yes! We are so limited here its frustrating. Im going grate a potato and dump it on my breville. stay tuned!!!

[@veganadventure5282]

raw or baked?

[@sunnygirl87]

SeventiesGirl I am going to partially cook some raw potatoes in microwave and experiment. It is only potatoes! Go for it! IT WAS AMAZING. My husband was speechless. I used a large waffle iron.

[@suzyq6767]

Grate your own raw potato onto paper toweling. Then squeeze out the water. They'll work the same way.

[@veganseatyummyfoodtoo]

I agree! It's so so sooooooooo frustrating! :-( (fellow Aussie!)

[@willarudzin1878]

I don't have a panini maker, so I used a George Forman grill. Worked great!!!!

[@rosev.4463]

Willa Rudzin Yay!! That's what I've got. Please tell me how long and what temperature you used☆

[@Will4fun]

Approximately how long did you cook these? I am excited to try this recipe.

[@bethcampagna9764]

I do this, too. I add sliced mushrooms and spinach. Yum! Love seeing you two!!!

[@dawnmorants4180]

Beth Campagna Where do you usually find your just potatoes in the frozen section? I’m having trouble finding ones that don’t have additives.

[@melindaoquinn4283]

i would say shredded potatoes and onions would be really good!!!

[@justingooding647]

I love Ann's reaction when she takes it out of the machine "woo Hoo HOO!!" LOL!

[@Melhut65]

Hey guys! That looks awesome! I do not have a panini maker but this is making me very tempted to purchase one. However! I make hash brown "omelette's" using those same frozen hashbrowns - I cook them on one side then the other for as you said, "a LONG TIME" and then I put a yummy black bean, mushroom, spinach combo as the filling and then I eat it with salsa. Oh my god! Sooooooo good!

[@megatuanis]

Melhut65, that sounds amazing. How do you prepare that bean, mushroom and spinach mix?

[@Melhut65]

Hi! Well usually I start by sautéing the mushrooms in a little water then just add in beans that have been rinsed and drained followed by the spinach. Then I will add some spices, smoked paprika, pepper, garlic powder and cumin. You can play around with the spices. I hope you get a chance to try it:)

[@megatuanis]

Melhut65, I just happen to have all those ingredients... I'm going to try that today! Thanks!!!

[@mycrazyfamilyid]

I just finished dinner but just hearing that crunch nakes me hungry all over again!

[@sueg2658]

WOOT WOOT! I love crunchy too! But when I'm not feeling well and tired, I use my Instant Pot and dump in dehydrated hash browns, water to cover plus a little more, I add dehydrated onion and what other spices I want. Set it for 10 minutes, with a 10 minute timer delay to give potatoes to rehydrate. Then I take a nap LOL. Since It stays on warm, it's ready to comfort me when I wake up. :-) They come out soft and comforting. Add more water in the beginning and it comes out more like a potato soup.

[@Leahkay6]

I really enjoy your videos!! 😊 you really make this way of cooking look simple and approachable. I look forward to more videos 👍👍😊😊

[@catwoman923]

Hi sue G ,I am a Sue G too LOL

[@Farmword]

I’m gonna try making the potato hash in my vitamix, with potatoes and water, and then use my waffle maker to do the “fry” since I don’t have a panini press. We better ask Dr Gregor if the crisp has introduced any cancer-causing compounds to our tators. A great idea! Thank you

[@Dan-um9bk]

I purchased the DeLonghi you recommended through your link it would be nice to know the temperature you set the machine on and for about how long. Until crispy doesn't really help. Thank you! Love your video's! I've been following you both ever since I met you when you presented in Lexington, KY at the Gill Heart Institute! Keep up your awesome work!

[@Suzannahartist]

Agreed if anyone finds out the temperature just put it on the highest temperature... ?

[@pamelaadams3649]

This was very useful information. I am always trying to get my potatoes crispy without oil. I have a panini press that I cant wait to try this out on! Thank you so much!

[@Psaltrymom]

Still making these, and I still do the happy dance every time I have that first CRUNCH bite! Unfortunately, I can't find these potatoes in NZ, so I have to shred them myself. But it's WORTH IT!

[@genid6375]

Teresa Thomas, how long did it take your nonfrozen freshly shredded potatoes to get that crispy?

[@CHEFAJ]

You guys are a hoot! Will this work also in a waffle iron? Please tell us about that tomato butter!

[@cinbock]

AJ, I just tried this in a waffle iron, I learned to make potato waffles from a whole potato with you! It worked, I didn't put the whole bag because I wasn't sure if it was going to work with the shredded potatoes, so mine came out a bit thin, next time I'm using the whole bag.

[@anng.r.687]

CHEF AJ Aren’t they using a waffle maker? If not what are they using? Is a waffle iron different? I’ll have to google it because I always use the two terms synonymously.

[@katherinehall1967]

Ann G. R. That’s like a panini grill or a George Foreman kind of grill.

[@robinsaxophone232]

I've heard a George Forman grill will work also. I think they're using a griddler.

[@akbender9626]

AJ, love your recipes and videos also!!

[@amycaruthers7858]

How long did it take to cook, and what temp? Thanks!

[@Suzannahartist]

Love it my mouth waters that's one of the biggest things I miss about oil free living and I've never been able to get my potatoes crispy like that ever

[@judychancey5781]

I found a Griddler at Goodwill for 6$ and this is a favorite! I love the potatoes this way!

[@violaspencer5628]

Is that what they’re using? Is that the name of it?? Whyyyy don’t they mention that or even have a shot of it showing the brand name?

[@ashleamendelson9967]

I love watching you both, you’re mom is such a hoot! I bought plant strong, engine 2 and reverse heart disease books. I’m hoping to get healthier and loose weight. Btw the ginger miso dressing is out of this world!!!

Hi Ladies, I just made this, and it is really good!! I might add a hint of green food coloring as a finishing touch. This base (tofu and maple syrup) with espresso powder also makes a good coffee "yogurt."

I wanted to know how the mixed bag of Ann's worked out .. whether to use dry ingredients or can I grate fresh onion and carrots into the mixture too and get the same crispness? 🌹

[@patriciamcdonald6149]

Yum! I also cook thin slices of potato that way for chips. You guys have great ideas, definitely going to make these, mmm... crispy!

[@MicheleMoore7161959]

What a great idea! They sound delicious!!!

My wife watched this and she had to go out and buy a griddler and toast up a full package of Trader Joes Hash Browns. So now we have another huge appliance that I can get yelled at for putting in the wrong place. Thanks. At least she doesn't tell me where she'd really like me to put it.

[@MakesPaintings]

Wow they look great! Hash Browns aren't a thing here in NZ. Definitely will do this, they look like a great base for cheese-free pizza too!. Thanks for inspo!

[@Psaltrymom]

Me again. Okay, not kidding -- I had these on my mind the whole day. So, a half hour before they closed, I drove myself up to the Habitat for Humanity Restore and purchased a huge "George Foreman Grill" for $15, just so I can make these potatoes! Since we can't find shredded packaged potatoes in NZ, I opted to shred 4 potatos in my food processor. I also shredded 1 small onion. Squeezed out the water, added seasonings and plopped them on the grill. Took 25 minutes or so for them to cook -- tasted fantastic!! Made one huge blob that I cut in two for my husband and I to share. Didn't come out as crispy as yours, but I think that is because of the onion - next time, I'll try onion flakes because there was just too much moisture in them for them to get crispy. But, there is always tomorrow. Hee hee. Thank you for this!! I have missed crispy fries SO MUCH!! I'm so excited to be able to do this!

[@mastersinr]

"I dont go with salt cause you know its so common" what a zinger!

[@cedarforest4621]

We add a serrano chili (diced), 2 cloves of garlic, and some chopped green onions to the potatoes before cooking. Mmmmmm.

[@AH-cy4md]

This inspired me to try it in my Belgian waffle maker. It was ok, but I think the very deep squares didn't provide the most satisfying results. So I scored an Oster panini maker at my local Goodwill for $5.30 - woohoo! I was hoping that the ladies would mention the temperature setting they used, but they didn't. I'll try medium-high. ........ Ok, that worked great! I didn't really time it, somewhere between 15-20 minutes on medium-high.

[@elainecampbell8083]

I do crave crispy sometimes, so this is great! Thanks!!! :)

[@akbender9626]

Can't wait to try this tonight... I have a waffle maker and a George Foreman. I wonder which would work better? Engine 2 books and recipes got me started on this plant based journey. It's been 1 year! Thank you so much!

[@akbender9626]

Sort of worked in George Forman but not quite crispy enough on the inside. Will try with waffle maker next time.

[@lpg12338]

Outstanding video, thanks for uploading!

[@simplynatural7056]

Thank you ladies

[@geekgranny]

I just got in a panini press just to do this. I made one mistake... I needed to preheat the press. My press has no temperature regulation; just on and off (but does have the ready green light). I had to turn it off and on a few times to keep them from burning. This may have been because I didn't preheat. At any rate THESE WERE AMAZING!!!! Thanks ladies.

How could you make it with fresh potatoes? These products are not available in Australia. Love your energy.😊🎉

[@janetmactavish1136]

Janis Miller what machine is it?

[@janismiller1135]

The one that Ann is using is using a Breville Panini Press. It is the older model of this one, Breville BSG520XL Panini Duo 1500-Watt Nonstick Panini Press. Our family used to make Paninis with it years ago before I became WFPB. I am glad to have a new use for it... LOL But I think the one that Jane is using is different... I tried figuring out the make and model but I was unable. :) Hmmm... maybe is it an older De'Longhi CGH800 Contact Grill and Panini Press? I perused Amazon and that is the best I could come up with. the Breville is and Amazon Choice... ;)
