    Brother I have been a chef for25 years, taught at Le Cordon Bleu for 5 of them. I just wanted to say you really did figure it out! Awesome, more people learn from you!

    Let me tell you something... If there's one person on this planet that I would trust to teach me how to make crispy hashbrowns, it's Cowboy Kent Rollins.
  • @PalmdaleGal
    Instead of using a rinse bowl and colander, I grate into the colander, rinse directly in the colander and swirl as the water runs through; then squeeze, etc. Saves me steps and another dish to have to wash. Love your personality!
  • @70TheProfessor
    I had failed to make crispy hash brown patties for years! I followed your instructions: rinsing, drying, frying in cast iron with the lid on for 5 minutes, then flipping. Total success! Thanks, Kent and Shannon.
  • @nitanice
    I'm a chef who could never do hashbrowns. I'm pretty sure watching this that everything you're doing will get the best results. Hats off to you, I bow down to you. Thank you for teaching me! :-)
  • @gregoryaz8406
    Crispy hash browns are my sweet wife's favorite, but I haven't gotten good at making them before. But after this lesson, I made them for brunch along with bacon and scrambled eggs, and I was the hero! Thanks for the great food!
  • Man thank you after my big sissy died its been hard connecting with my dad but I found you and me and dad has always been into cast iron and after watching you we have not only changed the way we do things a little but we cooked all morning today together and not a argument one lol we did a big scramble and I told him about this vid the other day so I clarified the butter and washed the taters and he fried them using the black stone ....thank you for helping me chill with my dad ....love from Oklahoma

    Looks just like what my mom used to make. Couldn't ever figure out what I was doing wrong. But now I know... Thank you

    I just found this channel, I think I'm home now.
  • @skiterbite
    When this cowboy says "have a blessed day" he's a genuine cowboy meaning every word! Thank you sir.
  • After I pulled the hash browns, I rolled around some leftover clarified butter and poured in my scrambled eggs. They were done in less than a minute with zero sticking. I love cooking with cast!
  • I'm a little old lady and have just been taught to how make these crispy tatters in such a entertaining fashion. Love it!
  • @luvbasses5487
    ...this video is further proof to remind us that it’s STILL the simple things in life that are the best.
  • @drewcliff82
    Space helmet😂🤣😂🤣😂. This guy is pure gold. He should have his own network cooking show and should be getting paid. Thank you sir. You made my day.
  • @nakedhombre
    An English professor could not have communicated as well as you did Kent. I could understand every step of the way because you were very focused and precise. I’m going to have to go hunting this weekend for a Martian space helmet and then I’ve got all the things I need to make crunchy hashbrowns like you. Thank you very very much.
  • @gmoops8986
    This technique is awesome. Why peel them spuds(yes, Russets)eyes and all? Scrub and grate'em. The flavor, fiber, and vitamins add to them browns. The fancier trail wagons might add a knuckles worth of rosemary and garlic.
  • For over 25 years I've tried to do hash brown potatoes. Finally, I know how. Thank you. YOU have cooked them precisely the way I like. I thank you once again... Sincerely... Additionally, your style and presentation are both impeccable.
  • @wandaguion2277
    Ding! Ding! Ding!!! We have a winner!! I know this is an old video but I so appreciate you making it! Made these this morning and was afraid they’d get soggy waiting for the eggs to cook but they held on to their crispy-ness all the way to my mouth! Yum! Thanks, Cowboy Kent! ❤️❤️❤️

    I set a stick of butter in a small saucepan and place the saucepan on an oil-filled space heater (the ones that look like a radiator with wheels) turned to "High." An hour later, I decant the clarified butter; no stirring, no filtering. I don't even watch it. Of course, this technique works best in winter, or it makes for a hot kitchen.
