    Dang, they all look great! I would think the fresh would taste the best. You ever add a little pancake batter to those hash browns? I can see the wheels churning……cheers brother!

    What is a "t" towel? I attempted to make some fresh hash browns a few weeks ago in a cast iron skillet and I didn't rinse them or dry them. Straight from the grater and they sucked. Pig and Beau loved them. Pig is a dog and I was going to name Beau "Cow", but Mom refused to call him Cow.

    The videos with the old griddle were a lot better. better camera angle for sure. theres also no room for both of you at once. new ones also smaller, which doesnt help with the cooking.

    Nice job brother! Any hashbrowns are edible as long as there crispy with some Heinz on top! Try loaded hillbilly hashbrowns -cheese,bacon, peppers and onions! Jalapeños!!
    Glad I found the channel! I'm Saving all the videos you do on the ultimate griddle! It's like I have my own visual cook book for when I bust my bad boy out! Supposed to be 60s this week maybe I'll put it together it's killing me..
    Can a pizza be done on that bad boy griddle? 🤔

    Long story short, personal preference and just make sure to cook long enough to be crispy! I love my Navy cooks, even if they only got the rice right 1 out of 4 times… LOl 🙂 MS now CS!

    Hey Neal! it’s been awhile since I’ve made any comments. Loved the comparisons and your opinions on the hash browns, and your thoughts on the PitBoss. I really would like know when you got the Blackstone and have you used it in a video, or have I missed any of those? Thanks and keep havin fun!!!

    Get a proper griddle, got rid of my Blackstone and Camp Chef after getting a Grilla Primate. The entire surface does not deviate more than 5 degrees at any point, and as a bonus it can be changed into a grill in less than a minute, far more responsive to gas adjustments and has superior grease management. Can even have a griddle and a grill going next to each other at the same time. Gotta come to the 21st century and quit cooking on 100+ year old technology.

    The right side of my blackstone (the exact model in your background, 4-burner + air fryer) also runs cooler than the rest.
    I wonder if fresh potatoes would benefit from a wet-brine… That might be why commercial versions taste better.

    I'm with you on the McDonald's hashbrowns. No! And yes, fresh grated is too much trouble. I haven't tried frozen, but I have dehydrated and refrigerated. Overall, I go with refrigerated. Good comparison.

    Great video. Here's a tip when using fresh potatoes – peel and parboil the night before and let then cool overnight in the fridge. Next morning grate the potatoes and throw 'em on the griddle.

    Do you have a link for the big silicone spatula your using? The one in the description is small and black. I've tried finding some.
    Would love to have some like Blackstone's griddle series but they are plastic and melt over 400 degrees. Complaints say they melt instantly. Thanks,

    I've tried a few different ways too. Gotta say the frozen patties are pretty darn good. They're convenient, taste good, and cook up nicely. My fav for taste is the refrigerated tho. Couldn't help but notice the fancy Blackstone back there. When we gonna see a cook on that bad boy Neil?

    Get that Valentina! I do like frozen, and the last time I did fresh I wasn't thrilled but I believe it was my fault for not draining the potatoes enough. I have yet to try the refrigerated, but next time I see them I definitely wil! Oh… And the pre made patties? I happen to love!

    Cooking hashbrowns is all about the patience as I to have experienced several times. Thanks for the video and GRIDDLE ON DUDE. So , when is the wife going to host another video??? I think you should have a cook off between you and your wife since you have 2 griddles now. That would make a great video.
