Belvita biscuits and an apple. Been looking forward to that all day.:rolleyes:

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

Lemon water, stinging nettle/yellow dock/lemon/ginger infusion, apple juice, more lemon water, a small bowl full of cherries, more lemon water, more herbal infusion, and dinner will likely be some steamed and smashed green peas, with a side cup of veggie broth, if I feel really adventurous.

@Bearlinda I'm an idiot! I forgot to post an American Hashbrowns recipe! :facepalm:

Here are 2.

The first is from Pioneer Woman & uses freshly grated potatoes (with all the steps!) the second is just me pouring a bag of frozen potato shreds that I did all of the shoot-me-now work a month or three ago. Like I said, I prefer frozen, so that I can get a nice hard crisp on the outside in hot oil (and not have to worry about fiddling with it, or doing a lot of work in one go), meanwhile @The Albatross prefers fresh. Either way is fine.

How to Make Hash Browns

And mine. (Part 1. Apparently only 5 images per message)

Spoiler: I should have cleaned the stove before taking pix. C'est la vie.

Just enough olive oil to cover the bottom of a non-stick pan (or double that if using cast iron or polished metal). Temp on HIGH.

Pour in a heap of frozen shreds into smoking oil

Flatten out a bit

Turn temp down to Medium or MedLow
(depending on how long you want them to take) & walk away.
I do Medium if I want to go drink a coffee & read, MedLow if I want to take a shower.

(As soon as you've flattened them, no rush, you can let them sizzle for a bit. I'm just generally wanting my coffee &/or shower, now. The oil cools when you put the frozen things in it, you just don't want it smoking hot, again. So you've got a few minutes. If I haven't started my coffee, I'll let them sizzle while I do that, then turn it down.)


Turn temp up to High & scooch them together (for easier flipping)
once edges are crips & middle is warm

Generally 10-15minutes or so on Med, twice that on MedLow. But it varies a lot depending on how thick the shred heap is 2cm vs 4cm, if you let them sizzle, etc. It's a very relaxed process at my house... As are most things that happen before coffee ;)

Part 2!

Spoiler: Voila

Flipped! Temp back down to medium to do the bottom.


The topping I decided to use while bottom was crisping


Fry them all up
(I use the same pan, after removing Hashbrowns)


Mine


My kid's (who likes an egg on top of his)


A note...potatoes can handle a lot of salt. I usually salt them afterwards, but will add white pepper to them before freezing, and after wards as well. That's it as far as seasonings go... Unless I'm using tomatoes. Which I always add salt & black pepper to. These are also Yukon Gold potatoes, which I like better than russet. The basic theme, though, is Hashbrowns are whatever you want to make of them. Salsa, hot sauce, cream gravy, meats, cheese, veg, mushrooms, really... Anything goes.

Thanks for that :-) Bookmarked both posts. I shall have a go at making some soon.

Scrambled eggs with sliced tomatoes and a little Hellman's mayo & sea salt. Now nibbling almond thin crackers... tummy's a bit off tonight....

Minestrone, water.

Orange; green beans with potatoes and vegan burger; handful of mixed nuts; hummus with nut (gluten-free) crackers; homemade chocolate/p. butter candy! What's for dinner? Can't wait!

I decided life is too short for low fat dressing.

They taste rotten.

I am very happy about this decision.

Lunch was piri piri chicken, bulgur n quinoa and salad dressed with small bit of home made dressing.
Tasted sooo much better than the crap I've been using recently.
Sparkling water

Didn't binge yesterday. So pleased.
