"What if I told you you could wake up tomorrow morning at 7am" Yeah you lost me there 💀
-
I really appreciate all the tests that show us what it looks like to do it differently so we know what changes really make a difference.
-
Tried making this for breakfast, now it's dinner time already xD
-
I'm a professional chef and I've gotten pretty good at making breakfast items over the many years I've been in the game. Some may look down upon it, but I believe you can get a very similar product even faster and without deep frying if you microwave your grated and strained potato for about 5 mins or so and then finish pan frying with a little vegetable oil at like a low to low-mid heat. I have used this method many times if I need hashbrowns on the fly.
-
I like that you actually make these recipes practical for home cooks, most other “fast food improvement” recipes go crazy with the ingredients and it’s really off-putting for most people
-
"What if I told you tomorrow morning you'd wake up at 7 am" No, thank you
-
Ah, yes. My daily morning deep-frying session.
-
I get these frozen at my grocery store for like $2.50 for 20. I just put them in my airfryer for about 8 minutes, while I'm making eggs
-
I love when the little "real-time" clock pops up in the corner like at 5:06. I've never seen any other cooking channel do that. Not only is it a cool aesthetic choice, but it really reinforces your theme of adapting things to the home cook by showing how long each step takes and giving a sort of schedule for the recipe. Great stuff, man!
-
I haven't tried this recipe yet, but one thing that I discovered when shallow/ pan frying is to use ghee instead of oil. It REALLY enhances the flavor of the salt and potatoes, it doesn't overwhelm them with an oily taste, and it gives a nice butter-fried texture without browning or burning like regular butter would.
-
Love how you always show different options for cooking. Definitely what sets you apart from other YouTube cookery channels
-
Whenever I have trouble with a recipe and I see you did a video about it, I am relieved. I really appreciate you taking an analytical approach since I know every step is there for a reason!
-
Ethan, I am very gratified that you have found your niche. You are doing great and one of the best things about your channel is your citing of your sources of information and inspiration.
-
I'm from Germany and I always thought that hash browns were brownies with weed inside. In German "Hasch" is like the weed's rasin or something. Now I know not everybody in america smokes or eats brownies with stuff inside lol
-
Just found your channel and I cant thank you enough for your very through explanation in each step. Sometimes I'm thinking about the other way to do something in some steps but you managed to always show the different outcome if we do different method. I really appreciate your hard work and efforts that you put into your videos!😊
-
The people complaining about the prep time somehow missed the very first sentence of the video. Its telling you that you can eat hashbrowns in 15 minutes TOMORROW MORNING if you do the preperstion process he lays down today. Very simple and straightforward video and there is no misleading whatsoever as some people claim
-
Him saying "Hey everyone, I'm Ethan a home cooking nerd-" and not following it up with "who likes to find better ways to cook and share them with you." threw me off super hard.
-
A regular food blog would just tell you how they think you should cook them, whereas Ethan gives us options based on circumstances. Deep frying for taste, shallow frying for speed, oven for quantity.
-
You put a lot of work and testing in your recipes. Love to see it man!
-
he really used "faster" in the title and thought no one would notice the 24-hour prep time 😂😂
