The key to getting the potatoes to cook quickly is chopping them small and in equal sizes -- that way they cook faster and at the same time. Also, I've found that spreading the potatoes in a single layer and only flipping them a few times really helps. Constantly tossing them can slow the process, since many pieces may not get enough heat for enough time. If you throw the potatoes in before your veggies, and chop up your veggies while the potatoes cook, it helps the time go by faster! Hope that helps!Jacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342077127310264989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378864966200305798.post-87229609156636729042011-02-08T09:34:09.384-06:002011-02-08T09:34:09.384-06:00I'm on a hash kick, which of course requires m...I'm on a hash kick, which of course requires me to make hashbrowns. I generally use a technique that I heard on Splendid Table--I par boil the potatoes and then chop them up. Do you have any issues with the potatoes taking forever to cook all the way through? What would you say is the amount of time it takes to cook this way? Sorry for so many questions--I'd love a quicker way to make them!Jenhttp://ourgoodfoodlife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378864966200305798.post-36429939392161392252011-02-07T10:11:39.616-06:002011-02-07T10:11:39.616-06:00Sara - Ha, I never thought of it as exciting, but ...Sara - Ha, I never thought of it as exciting, but yes, there was a lot of excitement around here regarding The Blizzard.

The huge piles of snow make it hard to drive around corners, and sometimes I feel like I'm living in the Ice Age. Also, I think not following recipes is the best way to learn.<br /><br />Nicole - Thanks. He's also the coolest cat ever. :)<br /><br />Shanna - You are so sweet! You can look back at these photos if you get tired of the weather in Nashville, and remember that heat is always better than winter. <br /><br />TheFriendlyFoodGirl - I feel the exact same way when it comes to following recipes and then not having any measurements to post on the blog! I end up writing a lot of disclaimers that warn the measurements are "very, very loose."<br /><br />Antonietta - Thanks! I think hash browns are the perfect anytime food! :)<br /><br />Laken - Seriously, there are only a handful of recipes that actually make it to the regular rotation of meals around here. And even then, they are always tweaked to our tastes. Thanks for the kind words!<br /><br />Les - I love how you can just make up recipes in your head and they turn out awesome! That is true cooking talent, chica. Stay warm! p.s. I think your blog needs more Troy pics. :)Jacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342077127310264989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378864966200305798.post-60448116640507206552011-02-05T10:41:49.843-06:002011-02-05T10:41:49.843-06:00Hey Jax -

I love hashbrowns! =) That's a lot of snow!<br /><br />I completely understand what you mean about cooking from the senses, ( I call it cooking from the heart!) I do that myself. Infact, I mainly make up my recipes, so now that I am blogging it is difficult for me to put recipes that I made up down in specific measurements ..hahaha..but it's a fun adventure! I appreciate recipes though, especially when baking!<br /><br />Good for you, for listening to your heart and just cooking.
