Can you grate potatoes to make hash browns?

Yes, grating potatoes is QED especially for potato pancakes. For hash browns, I prefer a courser finish requiring larger holes but that's just my personal preference.

I have just started using it myself. Heats up leftovers well and quickly. I'm not sur how it would do with a potatoe. Might be best to micro those.

Hi Holly, I did not purchase it from Amazon, or from the Pioneer Co. I just bought it at the grocery store. You could use it up faster by making potato soup. It is delish. Just dice up potatoes, celery, onion, and a bit of carrot. Cook them in chicken broth. When they are tender, make up a pkg. of the peppered gravy and stir it in. Add some bacon bits, and shredded cheese if you like. Yummy!!!

I would not recommend this product for potatoes. I would suggest a mandolin

That is a good question! And to tell the truth I use both depending how soon I need them. Point 1: If I plan to use them in some the next day I use hot tap water. I let these set for about 12 to 24 hours. This aloes the hash brown to full re hydrate. I like to add dryed onions to both ways as well as my seasonings. Point 2: If I decide to use them the same day I use boiling water and I let them set for about a hour. This gives the potatoes a good taste.

You could cook potatoes but I wouldn't recommend actually mashing potatoes on the cast iron surface

You can, but just add your choice of cooking oil! I heat up the oil a little at first. Be careful to pat the potatoes dry before putting them in the pan with the oil so they won't splatter, and watch over them as you fry. I have the Presto Electric folding fryer, and I have fried breaded chicken cutlets in oil, and they come out moist and delicious. I have also made French fries very successfully. Good luck!

Yes. See info book under bake and roast. I don't have much experience doing potatoes as we normally do them in the microwave. However any other baking we have done is about the same as doing it with the oven in the range or in our previous toaster oven.

I hope that you poke a few holes in your spuds! You're right, it does make the best baked potatoes. Have you tried baking yams in there? They need a few holes too, so that they don't explode.

Either plate would work for mashed potatoes. The plate with the smallest holes would make smoother and creamier potatoes.

Probably not the best choice for potato. It is a very, very fine grater. Works well on hard cheese (Parmesan), lemon zest, or anything that needs a smaller shred.

Sorry, but we've never done baked potatoes in the toaster oven. We put them in the microwave. However, there is a "potato" setting button on the oven, so I presume if you use this, it will automatically bake the potato and shut itself off when the potato is done, as it does with the "toast" and "pizza" setting buttons. Hope this helps.

Re Moe&Company; response, YES, that is exactly right! I have some very expensive pots that have been damaged with beaters! Now, I cook my potatoes in one of my stainless steel pots, so I can mash them in it with no problem!

This pot is actually quite small for that task. It could be used for cooking potatoes, but boiling water in cast iron tends to rust them. If you are single you might have enough room to do your potatoes and mash them in the pot though. AND if you rinse and oil it after you are finished cooking with it, it should be okay, but a larger stainless steel pot might serve you better here. I love cast iron, but somethings aren't ideal in them. (IE: tomatoes takes the finish off)

Absolutely. I prick holes in each potato with a fork,rub the outside with a dab of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 60 minutes or until cooked through.

Boil potatoes- yes. Blacken fish might take a while. I never burned anything even though I frequently walked away from cooking.

I don't think you will get the results. When it grates a potato there are always the last slice of potato stuck in the machine. If you are pouring in a gallon of nuts and aren't too picky it would probably do a fair job. I have some almonds, I will give it a try later, ask me again tomorrow or later. I love this attachment set, we have them all, This one stays in the mixing bowl . Will grate potatoes for hash browns to die for. Grates up cheese, omg. If you don't have these attachments for your mixer your missing out.
