Potatoes!, Friday, Second Period
"All right, guys," Raiden told his students, "today we're gonna talk about another of the many best ways to make and eat potatoes: hash browns." If a heavenly choir didn't start singing, they should have. "Now, as far as I know, Waffle House isn't in town today," sad, "so we're gonna have to make our own, but that's okay! It's easy!
"This is also a good time to talk about the differences between different kinds of potatoes. You can make hash browns out of starchy potatoes, like russets, or waxy potatoes, like Yukon Golds. They're both delicious. But the waxier potatoes will stick together a little bit better, so if you're making patties instead of just, like...loose hash browns, you might want to use those. That's also why, after we shred our potatoes, you'll want to rinse them under cold water, to get off that excess starch." Raiden proceeded to talk them through a basic hash brown recipe as he demonstrated how to do it, and when he was done he told them, "I also have recipes for a homemade patty, you know, like the ones you get at Moobyland or wherever, just better, and you can even make hash browns in a waffle iron if your stovetop is occupied or your little brother is obsessed with waffles." You know. Hypothetically. "How you serve your hash browns is up to you. As a side with eggs and bacon, with all sorts of toppings like at Waffle House...just some ketchup and straight into your face. They're all good options!"

Hash Browns!
Re: Hash Browns!
Stark was working diligently at making his hash browns. If he could manage them halfway decently he could add them to his repertoire for breakfasts (or brunches) to be shared with his favorite person.
Re: Hash Browns!
Graham personally loved the waffle iron idea and was already plotting to see if Amaya could pull together some sort of fireplace version of that for back home, but for now? He was going to focus on just making the basic ones, since cooking was still not his forte, but it seemed like a great thing to learn!
