HOMEMADE MCGRIDDLES AND HASH BROWNS  Recipe:

MAKE SYRUP CRYSTALS

• Heat a cup of pure maple syrup in a pan over medium heat.
• Stir and heat the syrup until it starts to thicken or you start to see crystals forming on the bottom or side of the pan.
• Pour the syrup onto a chilled plate and allow the syrup to crystallize. If you pour the syrup onto a dark-colored plate, it will be easier to watch the crystals form.

MAKE THE HASHBROWNS

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Rub 4 potatoes with oil and salt and bake for 45 minutes.
• After they’ve cooled, shred them using box grater
• Add kosher salt, some black pepper, ½ teaspoon paprika and 1 beaten egg.
• Gently mix using a fork
• Add 2 tablespoons flour
• Shape into ½-inch thick patties
• Pan fry 1 minute per side or until golden brown. Place hash brown patties in a single layer with spacing around them. Pan fry for 1 minute per side or until golden brown then remove to a paper towel and season with salt.

MAKE THE SAUSAGE PATTIES

• Form patties and fry in a skillet, set aside
