Hash Browns on the Cuisinart Griddler

Oh how I do love hash browns. Specially the hash browns that are cooked until crispy on an old flat-top griddle. Nice and golden brown. I don’t have a big diner griddle (yet), but I do have the Cuisinart Griddler, which makes fantastic hash browns. There’s nothing fru-fru about them, just great taste and texture.

Don’t laugh, but I like to serve my hash browns with butter. Yep, butter. I know that’s not normal. Most folks like ketchup or hot sauce. I always butter potatoes, no matter if they’re roasted, tater tots, or hash browns. I do draw the line at putting butter onto French fries, though. These Hash Browns on the Cuisinart Griddler come out super crispy, which makes them scream for butter in my mind!

French toast waffles are another great breakfast item that you can make using your Griddler.

Also try my slow cooker hash brown potatoes.

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes and onion in a bowl full of cold water. Soak for 5 minutes, drain, and fill again. Soak again for 5 minutes and drain. Continue rinsing and draining until the water no longer turns milky from the potato started.
  • Install the flat cooking plates on your Griddler and open the Griddler flat so you can cook on both plates at once.
  • Set your Griddler Selector to ‘Griddle’ and the Griddle temperature to 425 F.
  • Note that the top plate seems to not get as hot.
  • Drain potatoes well then toss with the oil, salt and pepper.
  • Divide the potatoes between the Griddler plates and spread out evenly.
  • Do not mess with the potatoes, let them cook for about 20 minutes or until you notice they are starting to turn golden brown on the bottom.Note that the top plate seems to not get as hot so the potatoes there may take longer to cook.
  • Carefully flip the potatoes and cook another 20 minutes or until they are nice and golden brown and are as crispy as you like them.
  • Serve hot with more salt and pepper, ketchup, or whatever you desire.

Hash Brown Patties on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Note: This recipe was developed using the Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer. If you are cooking using the Char-Broil Smoker-Roaster Grill you should cook with the lid open and the temperature set to High. You might also need to adjust the cooking time.

I used to grill (or bake) my frozen hash brown patties. But now I make hash brown patties on the Char-Broil Big Easy, I can make them even easier than before. Just toss a few little cakes-of-potato-goodness into the cooker and in no time you have crispy golden brown hash browns. My wife likes hers plain so she can top them with ketchup. Me, I like a little cheddar and chopped chives.

Hash Brown Patties on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Bacon. Sour cream. Butter. Green onions. BBQ sauce. Roasted red bell peppers. You name it, anything goes great on hash brown patties cooked hot and quick on the Char-Broil Big Easy.

To make these hash browns on the Char-Broil Big Easy I used a bunk bed basket. It lets me double or even triple the amount of cooking space I have.

You can also cook potato skins and French fries on the Big Easy.

Grilled Hash Brown Patties

Hash browns are my favorite when it comes to precooked potatoes. Give me crunchy potatoes and I’m a happy guy. Don’t nag at me because they weren’t made from scratch. This is an indulgence that I don’t readily admit to. A friend of mine recently told me about grilled hash brown patties. The idea was so simple and brilliant that I had to smack myself and say “doh”!

Grilled Hash Brown Patties

You can find the patties in your grocer’s freezer section, right by the other frozen potatoes. Another great thing about them is you can top them with whatever you like, from just ketchup, to my favorites, cheddar and green onion and bacon and cheddar. And they only take minutes to make, perfect as sides for the next time you fire up your grill. I tossed them onto my Weber Q 1200 and in minutes these grilled hash brown patties were done.

Get yourself a good set of grill tools for these hash browns and anything else you grill. You won’t regret the extra few bucks they cost over the cheap ones that you’re going to have to replace in a few years. I have had several sets of Weber tools for decades and have yet to replace a single one.

Also try my Kentucky farmhouse scramble.

Smoked Sausage Casserole

This smoked sausage casserole is one of my favorite comfort dishes. It has some of my favorite things in it – smoked sausage, hash browns, and peppers. And cheese. How could it not be good?

Smoked Sausage Casserole

You can omit the jalapenos if you want. Or add more.

I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the good stuff.

Also try my smoked sausage Alfredo. My baked angel hair with sausage is always a big hit too.
