Ore-id-a friends, here goes another really fun idea.... 

Check out these really cool

Hash Browns!

hashbrowns1

All you need are some tater tots, cooking spray and a hot panini press.   

 Ok, now that's cool, right?!

TIP: If you don't have a panini press then you can use a waffle iron (just  keep in mind my recipe used a panini press).  Also, the key word to remember is HOT panini press - very important - I used the highest setting. 

 You can serve these alone with ketchup or like I did with an over easy egg on top. 

I hope you'll give this a try.  They were so fun to make and the kids really thought they were cool.

Go ahead, share it with your friends (I don't mind, really!)

  • panini press

Instructions
 

  • 1.Get your press nice and HOT (I used highest setting)
  • 3.Spray both sides of the press with oil.
  • 3.Take 8 tater tots and form a square (I did 2 long,3 across and then 2 long). I did two sets on the press
  • 4. Close lid and press down - create a lot of pressure and hold it down for 30 seconds (at least). After 1-2 minutes when tots are firm flip over in opposite direction to create a cross cross pattern.
  • 5. Continue too cook until nice and crispy.
  • 6. Serve warm

Notes

*i used frozen tots and a VERY HOT press*
*12-14 Hashbrowns if using whole bag*

    Creating as I type ~ I used a waffle maker and boy oh boy did these turn out amazing!
    Mine had to cook a little longer, I guess it depends on the iron and the tots. But 3-5 minutes was where mine needed to be!
    Applied pressure the while time, then when it was about finished I opened the waffle iron and sprinkled cheese all over. Let it cook to melt the cheese and crisp the bottom, and YUM!
    THANK YOU

      Adding cheese to these is such a good idea! I'm going to try this next time. Sorry for the late response my comments were not working until now.
