Do you cook breakfast? What are some of the dishes you prepare?

[Julia1996]

Hash browns are my bane. I made some today and they had to be the worst I have tried to make yet. Thin and mushy, like  failed pancake.

After I grate the potatoes I squeeze them in a clean kitchen towel to get some of the moisture out. That helps keep them from getting mushy.

Oh I squeeze them, in a towel, w/o a towel, patting them dry with paper towels. I could even use a blow dryer on them and they would still come out mushy.  They HATES me!"

Here is exactly how I make mine. I usually use 3 large potatoes which is enough for 2 guys who eat like pigs.  I grate 2 potatoes with the large side of the grater and the third one with the small side. Then I squeeze them in a towel and throw them in the bowl. I add half a grated onion, salt, pepper,one egg and 4 tbs of flour. After I make each patty I dust each side with a little bit of flour and then cook them on a very hot griddle. Depending on what else I'm making sometimes I put cheese or sausage in the hash browns.

Okay Julia, You're in trouble now I copied it and put it on my desktop for future reference.... we'll see...

It may be awhile as I have cut way down on carbs in my breakfasts and lunches. My sister cooks supper and I eat what she prepares.. Having hash browns today was a splurge. I will try it and Thank you.

Ive never been able to get hashbrowns to cook right. Tried the removing startch by soaking techniques, draining thoroughly, tried freezing and cooking from frozen (worked the best), multiple oils, several potato types, etc. etc. etc. Just never works out to my satisfaction.

Well I hope you don't mind if I also steal your Recipe.

My experience making my own hash browns has always ended in mush..

Adding cheese sounds like it would be amazing!

I think part of the trick is not flipping them or moving them around. Lots of heat an let them caramelize on one side before flipping.

I do love them. But I don't eat them. I have a green smoothie and coffee for breakfast.  The breakfasts I make are for my dad and brother. And my boyfriend on weekends. If I ate all the stuff I made for them I would weigh 600 lbs.

Made pan fried steak and eggs this morning to have with my coffee.

I made sausage gravy over biscuits.

I tried Julia's hash brown recipe this morning..

Must say, I was quite pleased I didn't get mush!

Mixed in some cheese and they came out amazing! I think I need to make them slightly thinner next time but otherwise really happy!

Thankyou for the recipe

You're very welcome. I'm glad you liked them.

Morning folks,

What do you get when you combine minced garlic, bacon, sliced mushrooms, and sliced steak, seasoned with salt and pepper then sauteed in butter and white wine with 2 eggs scrambled with sharp cheddar cheese and a bit of chopped green onion? Why a yummy beef and mushroom scramble of course.
  OMG! This one is soooo delicious.

Bon Appetit,

   Sorry Megan, I cook mostly for myself, sometimes for my sister and I and I've been known to cook for friends when I visit. No plans (ugh there's that word again) for doing anything more.
  I will however take your remarks as a compliment. We do have quite a few good cooks on the site. Personally I think I'm going to go visit Julia and let her cook for me.
 
Hugs,
