Fair enough. Your experience is similar to mine, although "disgusted" is a little stronger than my reaction. "Disappointed" would be nearer the mark. Cindy Hamilton |

There were bags and bags of Ore Ida brand frozen hash browns - the cubed diced ones, like this: https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?...&hsimp=yhs-003 There were also multiple bags of frozen breaded Ore Ida onion rings. All I can figure is every time Mom went to the store she just bought another bag of one or the other, or both. They looked like they'd been in the freezer for a decade. Back to dehydrated hash browns, Mom did at one time make a breakfast casserole using dehydrated hash browns that was pretty darn tasty. I think they were Betty Crocker brand. A rough "recipe": Prepare the dehydrated hash browns per package directions. Get them nice and crispy. Scramble some eggs and pour them over the top, add crisp cooked crumbled bacon (oh no!) and top with grated cheese. Bake in the oven until the eggs are just set. Jill |

All this proves is you're pretty much the household servant. Dinner on demand from your husband and your "I'll let you know when I want something" daughter. It doesn't seem to matter if the food is good or bad. Or something *you* might like to eat. As long as it is served when requested. Deydrated, frozen, fresh potatoes... three minutes for cooking crispy hash browns doesn't make any sense. People who know how to do more than open a can or a box know this. Jill |

The times that I've made it though, have been a disaster - gummy potato glue. The only way I'll make it these days is by using that dehydrated milk carton thingie. Different strokes, I guess.

There's absolutely no good reason to boil spuds for home fries unless you're planning to **** em up. |

Actually some bake them partly then freeze and cook them in hot oil later. I suspect the topic shift to home fries (thick ones) missed him. Carol -- |

You basically half cook the home fries (Long wedge > sticks here) then fry them later. > This evening I boiled potatoes with a bunch of fresh parsley and fresh rosemary. I know that's wasteful, but we have tons of parsley and quite a bit of rosemary. Then, my wife put them on a cookie sheet and drizzled them with olive oil, while I grilled a huge grass fed organic ribeye. I'm not a huge fan of the taste of grass fed, and I prefer the taste of strip to ribeye, but the tenderness was astounding. I have good teeth, but I didn't need them; I don't think I've ever had a more tender piece of beef. I grilled it over cherry wood, and when my half (the fattier part) was rare, I cut it off, then grilled my wife's and son's portion medium rare. Johnny liked the steak, but didn't even try the potatoes, which was fine because my wife ate lots of them, and then he made himself dessert, Fruity Pebbles over vanilla ice cream, which I find very unappealing, but he's 13. I do have to admit that it was pretty, and I told him that, then added, "pretty disgusting." > --Bryan |
