Hashbrowns

12. 10

    Making fresh hashbrowns with a grater on a griddle flattop is a simple and delicious process. Prepare the potatoes: - Peel the potatoes if desired or leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients. - Rinse the potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt or starch. - Pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel.

13.  

    Ingredients

    • Cooking oil or butter
    • Potatoes (russet potatoes work well for hashbrowns)
    • Salt and pepper, to taste

14. 11

    Grate the potatoes: - Use a box grater or the coarse side of a cheese grater to grate the potatoes. You can also use a food processor with a shredding attachment for faster results. - Grate the potatoes directly over the griddle or onto a clean kitchen towel.

15. 12

    Remove excess moisture (optional): - If you grated the potatoes onto a kitchen towel, gather the corners of the towel and squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated potatoes. This step helps the hashbrowns crisp up better during cooking.

16. 13

    Preheat the griddle: - Preheat the griddle flattop over medium-high heat until it's hot. You can test the heat by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface; if they sizzle and evaporate quickly, it's ready.

17. 14

    Add cooking oil or butter: - Spread a thin layer of cooking oil or melt a small amount of butter on the hot griddle to prevent the hashbrowns from sticking.

18. 15

    Form the hashbrowns: - Take a handful of the grated potatoes and form it into a mound on the griddle. Flatten the mound to create a round, even hashbrown patty. You can make multiple patties depending on the griddle size.

19. 16

    Season the hashbrowns: - Sprinkle salt and pepper over the hashbrown patties to taste. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika for extra flavor.

20. 17

    Cook the hashbrowns: - Cook the hashbrowns on the griddle for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. - Use a spatula to carefully flip the hashbrowns to cook the other side.

21. 18

    Serve the hashbrowns: - Once both sides are crispy and cooked to your liking, remove the hashbrowns from the griddle and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Bacon

22. 19

    Making crispy bacon on a griddle is a straightforward process. Preheat the griddle: - Preheat the griddle over medium heat. Make sure the surface is evenly heated before adding the bacon.

23.  

    Ingredients

    • Bacon strips (as many as you'd like)

24. 20

    Lay the bacon on the griddle: - Place the bacon strips on the griddle, making sure they are not overlapping. Leave enough space between the strips for even cooking.

25. 21

    Cook the bacon: - Allow the bacon to cook on the first side for a few minutes until it starts to sizzle and render its fat. The time it takes to cook will depend on the thickness of the bacon and the heat of the griddle. - Use tongs to flip the bacon strips and cook them on the other side. Continue cooking until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. You can adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of crispiness.

26. 22

    Drain excess grease: - As the bacon cooks, it will release fat. Use a spatula or paper towels to remove any excess grease from the griddle to prevent flare-ups and ensure even cooking.

27. 23

    Transfer and drain the bacon: - Once the bacon is crispy to your liking, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any remaining grease. Remember that the cooking time can vary based on the type and thickness of bacon and the heat of your griddle. Keep a close eye on the bacon as it cooks to avoid burning it and achieve the desired level of crispiness.
