Aren't jojos specifically fried in one of those pressure friers, and potato wedges are just baked?

I love how many people are like "hurr this is how we had it in my tiny unimportant town, or my tiny unimportant house, and therefore I can't conceive of a reason anyone would have it differently".

Y'all have bought into the Big Potato Conspiracy. Potatoes exist in more forms than we can ever conceive of at once and by ignoring their potential we are limiting ourselves as the beings of light and starch we are.

In conclusion, gimme some Tates, gimme some toppings, shove it in my mouth and lemme nap.

Baked potato is better. Set oven to 350-425F depending on size. If big go on lower heat for longer cooking time. Check temperature with a meat thermometer. The goal is 210F internal temp or close.

For small russet potatoes at 425 will take about 50 minutes to reach that perfect temp.

At 325F a huge russet potatoes may take an hour an a half to cook until internal temp is 210-isF.

First, you just have to poke it with a fork, and give it some canola oil or bacon grease all around the scrubbed and dried skin. Just put salt on the potato and cook but remember your meat thermometer: 210 degree Fahrenheit.



You will like to use your own potatoes rather than what Waffle House does to their dehydrated potato hash browns. They just add water and fry the result.

No but all potatoes can transform into hash browns, I've figured out the secret, you take a potato, slice/dice/shred/crush/form/mash/bake/boil/whatever, and then fry (deep or pan) it up in some way, and as long as it's in the morning, it's a hash brown. You give me a potato dish I can turn that poo poo into hash browns.

I do it the Alton Brown way.

Coat potato with olive oil and kosher salt (I use other seasonings sometimes), bake for 1 hour on 350F.

2 steps. Done. Perfect every time.

Don't forget the various sausages you may partake in. I just got into a jimmy dean tube of hot sausage and flattened with the help of a cast iron pan and freezer paper.

Fold over one sheet of freezer paper over balls of sausage and make it flat and huge. In an air fryer or skillet or oven that mini disc will shrink and crisp over heat.

Nobody mentions the cage-free chickens in this scenario, obviously.

We're not big breakfast sausage people. The local sausage maker has some drat good sausage so we will have that with brekkie, but mostly our sausages go into the pressure cooker with risotto. Nice hot Italian johnsonvilles cut up and cooked with a nice creamy mushroom risotto. Done in 20 mins and no stirring required.

We do our hash browns in the same style as a great gay breakfast place in New West called Coming Home Cafe. Nice spiced dice that's still moist, moisture is essential for a nice dice hash.

I like doing a full English sometimes for fun, the Mrs got me a breakfast grill pan with the lines and ridges on it for putting some nice grill marks on a decent breakfast sausage or patty.

e: I bought some lil brekkie sausages a few months ago and they were so mushy and gross I ate half of a couple then tossed all of em right in the trash.

Is the exact recipe she uses but it sounds right. Sautéed sausage meat and w/e, put in the other poo poo, pressure cooker magic, bam.

I had never heard of scattered well until this thread. Will try that the next time I go to Waffle House. The "covered" option is gross as gently caress though. A slice of American cheese has no place on hash browns.

Is that what a potato pancake is? I do those sometimes, lovely garlic mash patty with a crispy outer layer. Maybe it's more like a pan fried latke? The real ones are really fried and pretty greasy.

Honestly who the gently caress is calling potato wedges 'JoJos' you sound legitimately mentally handicapped or like a two year old.

Fucks sake they're potato wedges.
And to get them not undercooked and so they're fluffy inside and crisp outside you boil them in salted water for about 3-4 minutes before roasting them. I'm sorry the complete mental giants that clearly raised you were incapable of either doing this herculean task or being able to explain it to someone who insisted on calling them 'JoJos' which sounds like you're simultaneously eating crayons while saying it

Potato pancakes swing pretty widely from 'leftover mashed potatoes mixed with egg to act as binder' all the way to what are essentially just shredded hash brown patties depending on on the who/what/where of them being made

Hash browns when they're grated thinly enough that they're crunchy and crispy are pretty godly. On the other hand I just diced up some potatoes and fried them with chorizo and they were an absolute godly hangover breakfast so really who can say what's right

Maybe it's a Canadian thing angry beef friend. We can em jojos, wedges, wedgies, weedgies, big beef city posting like an angry gen xer, and finally potato wedges. They're good, try them at your local 7-11 with creamy ranch, yum yummy.

"i'm gonna take these potatoes, cut em up into eighths, then only cook em half way that'll be good" - a loving idiot

There's a gas station close to where I work that sells these chicken tender and jojo combos, and I have a coworker that swears by the chicken. Unironically calling it "best fried chicken in town" (I had it once out of curiosity, it's pretty mediocre, would take grocery store deli food over it for sure). Their jojo's are often as you describe, undercooked in the middle. He gives them away or throws them away and just eats the chicken. However, well done jojos are fantastic, crispy on the outside and some fluffy potato on the inside.

Between this post and the one above I think the running theme of this thread is most goons have had a bad experience or two with one variant and a more consistently good experience with another kind so they just say one's good and the other is bad universally. Homestyle hashbrowns should have a nice crispy outside and a fluffy inside like any potato fried in oil, and it's honestly been my experience that these are more consistently done better than the shredded kind cause I feel like they're harder to screw up (also hence why they're more commonly cooked at home).

Depends on where I'm eating. Some places have better hash browns than home fries, some place are the opposite.
