My hubby loves homemade hash browns. Â He secretly plots to go to restaurants that feature homemade hash browns. Â I have tried unsuccessfully to make them to his liking. Â Â Then I went to a Pampered Chef party and bought this little tool.
It will julienne veggies cutting them in tiny little strings.  They suggest using in  on zucchini in stir fry but I decided to try it out on potatoes and make hash browns.  It was a success.
Typically I make them on the frying pan on the stove but I had extra kids here to eat so I did them on the griddle. Â I don’t have a real recipe so I’ll just tell you what I did….
Put a pat or two of butter in the pan. Â Cut up the number of potatoes you wish to eat. Â Keep the potatoes in as thin of a layer on the pan as possible. Chop up and onion if you like them and add that in. Â Let them sit for a quite a while. Â The butter will melt and the hash browns will be cooked. Â The potatoes closest to the pan will be crispy and the ones further away from the heat will get tender. Â Cover them it possible. Â Flip the potatoes. Â Let the other side get crispy. Â What ever you do, don’t stir or continue flipping them. Â Just let them sit. Â We love a slice of cheese over the top….yum.
So next time you get invited to a Pampered Chef party and are wondering what to buy, Â tell them all about this neat blog, Jo’s Country Junction, and how that gal, Jo, uses her julienne tool to make hash browns and her hubby loves them.
Today I am hooking up with Dandelion House. Â To see more Farm Girl ideas check it out.
Such a great tip and I am sitting here with a pampered chef book in hand wondering what to order………..you’ve certainly helped make up my mind. Love your blog, read it daily…it’s # 1 on my list.
I haven’t seen that tool! I also cannot get homemade ones to turn out like I’d like, so maybe this little gadget is just what i need.
Probably won’t get invited to a party for a long time now! BTW–have you seen their Corn Kernal tool? It’s another gadget that I love.
I had to run ds to work, SO, I stopped at Walmart and am now eating bacon and hashbrowns (no pampered chef thing…I’m also feeding a crew, so TONS come prepackaged). My children thank you for this rare treat. LOL!
You are so funny! Now that I know what to buy, I’ll be ready next time I get invited to one. And I love hashbrowns, too!
Those look so yummy — I bet my husband would like them (if I left out the onions) Thanks for sharing the idea!
Yum!!! You made me hungry! Those look so good, I love hashborwns with onion.
Cool little gadget and your hashbrowns look great!!
Interesting hash browns. My husband makes them like this in a frying pan. I can’t eat very many of them because my stomach quickly says “too much”.
Hash browns are one of my husband’s favorite things–and now that you’ve reminded me, I think I will make them for breakfast tomorrow. I make them with onions as well. I like them, but like Carol, I can’t eat too many as they soak up so much fat and make me feel full so quickly.
That’s a yummy and creative use of the tool.
