Looks great Richie, and I'm glad that you found the technique useful!

On a separate note, my missus insisted that I try another George Foreman experiment last night (she loves hash browns).  This time I tossed about 1-2 tablespoons olive oil with the raw but rehydrated/drained shreds.  Into the George they went, but this time with the audible sizzle of oil.  When she tasted them, she said they were as good as when cooked on the flat iron. Now I can do her hash browns the easy way without the spatter.

Hey I gave a drizzle of Vegie oil on the bottom, the tatters were mixed with dehydrated onions.I gave a lite drizzle to the top before closing the lid.

Dang, never thought of using dehydrated onions - perfect complement to the dehydrated potatoes - will definitely give that a go next time.

Sometimes (probably more than sometimes) I miss the obvious

IdahoPZ, Thanks Again for the idea,  I was just telling the wife about your idea and how we should pull out Old George and give it a try.  I was thinking of a few slices of Bears Double Smoked Ham on the bottom and then my potatoes and a few smoked red bell peppers on top.     Your idea would be handy when up hunting or when I want a little snack.      Or......   even now.  Potatoes with a little smoked garlic powder on them.   Gott'a stop looking at this forum until I drop 25 more pounds...   :-(
 
lol, I know what you mean Old Bones - there are so many good ideas on this forum that I feel like a horse being restrained at the starting line - ready to race to the finish - a perfect meal

Here's a funny one - I was outside doing concrete work and my wife called me in for a snack (almost never happens) - she had fixed me a plate of George Foreman hash browns topped with an egg!

In all our years of marriage, she has never before fixed me hash browns
 
Those dehydrated potatos fed a lot of troops of our boy scouts over the years. Hot water works fairly
fast, but if you cover them in cold water at bedtime, they will be completely rehydrated and ready to cook in the morning, no waiting. Our favotite way to eat them is fried in bacon fat. I‘d bet that would work brushed on a waffle iron, too.
Then smother them in sausage gravy.......ummmm.

Sounds like you're becoming a bad influence on your wife, like so many of us are!!

Bugger me PZ you've got us all fired up now.

As a wee nipper, living in the west and from a pretty poor family, we had tater fritters (Hash Browns) on a regular basis mainly because they were cheap to make and filled ya up pretty quick.

We also had another quick and easy meal that was quite popular and now I'm thinking I can combine both into one and come up with something new and hopefully tasty.

Once I've done the lab tests as well as the field tests I'll toss up a full report.

Thanks

Well PZ I have finally got back with my report on the experiment.

I did a Q view on it but at this time I won't post it due to things not going the way I saw in my minds eye.

As stated we, as kids, had a cheap meal and in Australia they were called jaffles. You may have the same thing in the states under another name but the concept is a cast iron cooker similar to a waffle iron but smaller and was placed directly into the coals of the camp fire. Two pieces of bread were place, one each side with the buttered side facing outwards, the filling was placed on one side and then closed up and placed into the coals. it took only a couple of minutes to cook and we, as kids, just went crazy over them as you could have anything inside.

I did the experiment with the Hash Brown mix with other fillers but found the Hash Brown to be too moist. I still think there is something here to further experiment with and will do so once I put some spare time together.

Cheers from Down Under
 
Thanks for the update Pilch - experimentation is the key to success when trying new methods on familiar old cooks.  Best of luck
