...short order cooks are highly underrated...
Dehydrated shredded potatos for hash browns. So there are other options than frozen.

(the pic of the ingredrients list is from a larger container than the one on the left that I had)
My MIL moved recently and had to downsize. She had bought a whole case of these(why I don't know, since she's single) from Costco. She gave us some of them and I tried one last night since my wife was working. Lets say I was dubious, but they were actually better than I thought they would be. You have to open the carton and fill to the line with hot tap water then let sit for 12 minutes. Drain, then fry as with regular hash browns.
My camera batteries were dead so I didn't get a pic of the final result.
They were better than I thought, but hash browns with fresh potatos still beat them. I would say they are better than frozen though. Not too many strange sounding ingredients in them which is a plus. The company that makes them are out of California. I've never had them before, but have had "instant mash potatos"(dehydrated too I think) out of a box, that are disgusting. Which was why I was dubious.
I "smothered" mine with finely shredded Mexican style cheeses(Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Queso Quesadillo and Asadero). That may have made them better than they really were...:confused: For such a small container there are way more in there than you would think after they are re-hydrated. I'll give them a 6/10.
For you french lovers, here's a pic with some extra words on the pkg. :)

What comes up on a Bing image search of those extra words looks nothing like what's in the pkg.

I was wondering who grated all the potatoes, I take you do have fresh potatoes in the states.:)
^Yes we do...now that the great American potato famine has ended. ;)
It was the first thing that Trump did as president...he made potatoes great again.Quote:

^ and you call Brit food bland?:)
I think the main food i miss about Germany are the paprika rotisserie chickens in the pubs. Is it a different kind of paprika they use, cus ive tried to replicate it and its pretty fowl now?
It's a spice mix which is rubbed on with oil and marinated, paprika & salt being the main ingredients. Also, there are two types of paprika, sweet or spicy.
Don't have any recipes.
Perhaps they use more than just paprika? Was over for Oktoberfest and I reckon it has thyme, oregano, marjoram and rosemary powder on is as well as the paprika. In fact, the paprika was more for colour as you couldn't really taste it that much. Salt and pepper as well. I don't think they used smoked paprika, but I'm sure Gaybob or Seekingass will be along shortly to tell you precisely (assuming it was sold in Weatherspoons once upon a time).Quote:

I think you're imagining that, and that you may be wrong.Quote:

Yes, sometimes Italian herbs are added, too.
The original comes from Hungary, AFAIK, then travelled via the Austrian Empire to Bavaria & further north.
To make it truely multicultural, we eat Pommes Frites with it, which the foking frogs left during their occupation - but they taste great, thanks Napoleon le dwarf.
Gaybob will tell you you are wrong stroller by showing you a picture of mein kampf
Stroller is absolutely correct. You, spuddie, are turning into the Butterfly of Cuisine - a menace on every cooking thread. What’s next from you, a recipe for avocado toast (snigger) that involves tweaking the registry?Quote:

Alas DrGayBob, you have a lot more in common with bumbutters than I do. What's confusing you old man? Are you forgetting that your "oh look at me" was shown to be "oh look at me DrGayBob, I've less credibility than Snubbles"?
How do you like them ONIONS, Gaybob?
:smileylaughing:
um, are you OK? You’ve been really rather strange since you started posting again, have you had some kind of wicker man or straw dogs experience out there in the sticks?
To be fair I can't remember ever seeing a post from you until my return. Memorable, heh?

Samhan suggested that any labels found on the bags were put there either as a prank, or as a deliberate attack on the al-Nasseem Cooperative. Indicating that products labeled as coming from Israel were hardly likely to sell like hot potatoes, Samhan vowed to find out who was behind the tater caper.
Sorry, I meant you may be wrog that it doesn't go on cereal with milk. It just might. :)Quote:

Disbelief.
But point out why is pepper "prik thai" and chilli just "prik"? and they think abit about it, seeing the anomaly.
As an aside, there are some great old Thai recipes that use black pepper as the main spice (and no chilli, of course!).
We...?Quote:

Yet, the original chilli introduction, supposedly by the Portuguese [??], appeared [in flavour, texture, and heat] nothing whatsoever similar to the contemporary Thai variety, taking on a perplexing similarity to the Southern Chinese varieties of chillies.Quote:

Well, if you're capable of pondering it; An import from China would be a foreign import, wouldn't it?Quote:

Bob is correct.

Mexico say some really smart science dudes...which technically is Central America, no? Or did you mean wild chilies?Quote:

Mesoamerica [Mexico], Bob. Not South America.Quote:

Quite the historic misnomer that most have taken on.
To be expected.
Technically....the point being they're NOT Asian as Confucious would like to imply. He'd also quite fallaciously claim that hybrids and sub-species that have developed from the original Meso American genetic stock SINCE the introduction to Asia count as being native.Quote:
