there’s probably an easier way to do it but i just grate the potatoes on a cheese grater (i don’t mind working a little bit! ;) i use my medium pan instead of the big one ‘cause it would take a heck of a lot of potatoes to fill the bottom of that one! i put a little butter in the pan on low heat, ‘cause potatoes tend to burn and get stuck to the pan, usually in the middle.
i don’t have a great estimate on how long they take to cook....but after ten or so minutes they should be stuck together enough on the bottom that you can flip them like a pancake. it might be a little messy but just flatten them down again and distract yourself for long enough to let them cook some more (not one of my strong suits in the kitchen! :) i put in a little bragg’s for flavoring, and hopefully a browning effect, but no other seasonings. (i bet garlic would have been delicious...next time! :)
while that was happening i grilled some zucchini in the big pan. depending on the size i usually quarter them lengthwise, unless they’re ginormous and then i’ll cut them in half and third the bigger end. doesn’t really matter :) low heat with a little butter, and again, leave them alone long enough to actually grill a little! that’s the best part: a little charred on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside.
a little ketchup and fresh cilantro on the hashbrowns, a banana and a few strawberries and we were good to go! i had a good friend in town for a night so i was making us a late breakfast. he didn’t know about my blog so i got to give him a proper introduction! :)
