If I ever bought new cookware I’d definitely look into this. I have such high end cookware that I think my husband would have a nutty!😀. I’m getting ready to downsize and give it my 4 kids! ❤️
helpful hint. To make tots faster...put half the amount into the 1 gal ziploc. roll it into a rope by compressing it. dump the rope out and cut to length. repeat the process until all you mix is done.
I have made the tator tots and if you take your mixture, place it on a piece of parchment paper and then roll it up into a log shape the size you want for your tots and then let them chill in the fridge for about an hour to firm. Take them out, unroll and slice into desired length. Viola, nice uniform tots without having to form each individual tot. :)
I like to take a coleslaw mix and put 1 cup of that with 1 egg, mix well and add a couple shakes of dried onions, salt and pepper. Fry in avacado oil in approximately 6 small patties. This taste so much like hashbrowns.
So I tried something interesting as my Son loves his hasbrowns. I like Kohlrabi as a substitute for Potato, so I thought about it and grated a whole kohlrabi, mixed in spices, a little almond flour & parmesan cheese, (no egg) and then in my chaffle maker put a layer of mozz cheese, let it melt then put my kohlrabi mixture and put more mozz cheese on top...let it cook for 10 minutes...super important or until crispy. cool on rack, put sour cream and chives and serve up with breakfast or whatever. It comes out like a cheesey potatoe latke. Maybe some of you may enjoy this. I didn´t use all of the Kohlrabi, but I did blend it all at once and put the left over in a bag to keep in the fridge for quicky hasbrowns.
I found a great recipe for keto pizza crust 😋 so easy and only 3 ingredients! 4 eggs 8 Oz of cream cheese and 3 cups of mozzarella cheese I soften the cream cheese and then put in the 3 eggs and mix with the stick blender then add in the 3 cups of mozzarella cheese. No need to melt the mozzarella cheese just add it in after mixing the eggs and cream cheese. Then spread it on a cookie sheet with parchment paper and put it in the oven for about 8 minutes on 425° that's it! I sometimes make it in the early afternoon and then add my stuff for the pizza on top and then bake it for another 8-9 minutes on 425 Enjoy!! I wish I could post some pictures of it! 🎉

I made the cabbage thing a while ago. There was 2 tablespoons of almond flour. I swear it reminded me of potato pancakes which I haven’t had in years. I even put a dollop of sour cream on it 😋
I boil my shredded cabbage for 15-20 mins first, drain and then add onion & egg, arrow root starch, seasonings & fry. I could eat these too with a dollop of sour cream. Delish!
We make a thing called bubble and squeak in England, basically left over mashed potato and cooked cabbage mixed up and cooked in a frying pan, I always loved the cabbage part so tried it with cauli mash, which works well. Mashed swede is good too. You need to steam your cabbage first, shredded quite small. Fry the onion a bit on its own then add the mixed cabbage and cauli/swede. Cook it slowly for quite a while, turn and mix a few times as it browns. I loved all things potato, but actually I now think celeriac chips (fries) cooked in the oven in avocado oil beat potato ones by quite a bit 😄
I absolutely love how you keep it real when making the recipes,showing the not so good parts mess ups. Just like real life, and you make me laugh out loud too!
So a million years ago back in the 80s my mom was a Weight Watcher and they had a saying (hope I'm not stepping on any copyright toes here) Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels. I'm down 4 sizes and gimme a radish or a cauliflower tot any day. I don't miss potatoes THAT bad. And Em, you forming those tots was priceless 😘
Just stepping in to point out that saying is something model Kate Moss famously said. (Which she has said in later interviews she now regrets saying) it’s not exactly a positive quote. So take that as you will.
I learned a keto hack; for a tater sub, slice radishes ans simmer them in butter and a little seasoning until tender. then mash and serve...so good try it!
This was great. When Sarah complimented her sister on her “Flat” tater tots actually working better. It made me 😀. I will make these tomorrow. Since I have all the ingredients on hand. Thank you. 😘
I have started dry cooking cauliflower rice with salt pepper and garlic to be my hash brown substitute. I really like how it works with my egg breakfast.
Zucchini tots are really good, for anyone who is struggling with cauliflower. 🙋🏼♀️ LOL I think the shredded zucchini would make good hash browns, too. Thank you both for trying new recipes and giving me fresh ideas. I needed something new. 😊
Definitely give the zucchini a try, it is so good! I used to make it years ago with Old Bay in a recipe called poor Man's crab cakes. It is surprisingly accurate in flavor!
Love your channel ladies! I'm on a special low carb diet for liver disease "technically Keto". Certain protein depending on which stage of the diet, low carb veggies and small portions of fruit. I started playing around with ingredients, listening to my body and what I was craving. I found that you can take coleslaw mix (with purple cabbage and carrots is the best) and fry it in about a tablespoon of bacon grease and throw in bacon crumble. It's so good! I wanted to make something close to fried rice the other day. I took some leftover bacon and cabbage mix, threw in a pack of cauliflower rice and added soy sauce and some thawed cocktail shrimp. 😋 This is a must try!
I found and reviewed a brand of cauliflower tots called Nolita, I loved them but I stopped being able to find them... Looks like they went out of business... They were basically this cauliflower tot recipe... I'm ok making them, but sometimes it's nice to have something in the freezer that's ready to rock when you don't feel like cooking!
To remove water from shredded cabbage, zucchini etc is to salt it (called sweating) in a strainer set on a bowl for a bit. Surprising how much water comes out. Wonder how it would come out in an airfryer? They sell tots made from Broccoli or Cauiflower in the store but lots of carbs.
I was thinking this.. use a grater and grate some cabbage and onion, would be more like shredded hashbrowns.. salt it to draw the water out.. then follow/form/cook.. just a thought.
I have made a similar cabbage hash brown and chopped my cabbage much smaller, used less egg and made smaller patties. They tasted close to the potato version. I tried a version after with more egg and I didn’t like as much. I used a little coconut flour in mine. It’s a good way to reduce moisture.
I added a few tablespoons of almond flour to the shredded cabbage hashbrowns and it made all of the difference. they tasted just like latkes! i ate them with sour cream. i think i might eat them everyday , they were sooooo good!!! and green onions cooked into them, too. wonderful recipe; thank you for sharing that idea.
You could try making either of these recipes in your chaffle maker. I’d probably shred the cabbage really finely. Love watching your videos. Helping me stay motivated!
I love watching the two of you.!!! You brighten my day. It is so enjoying watching you cook the recipes you pick. Iam learning a lot about Keto recipes and you make it fun. Keep up the good work. Love your videos.
With your suggestion I made these with broccoli. Used a food processor and then microwaved the broccoli until tender. I said to heck with trying to make them look like tater tots and used a small ice cream scooper instead. Perfect size and delicious, particularly since garlic salt was added 😁
Both look delicious to me and I’ll definitely give them a shot! You made a good point about accepting dishes as they are, which I decided to do early on in keto. Most keto dishes aren’t going to replace anything but are tasty in their own right when you aren’t comparing them to something else.
Absolutely! I never knew, until after I concocted this meal that I enjoy it more than my traditional pasta dinner. I would par microwave a frozen bag of cauliflower rice and drain out the fluid. Put it in the bottom of a crockpot. Cover it with frozen meatballs and or sausage patty’s and strips of peppers. Pour an 8 ounce can of Hunts garlic, basil and oregano sauce (which only has 2 net carbs per 1/4 cup and costs less than a buck) and cook on low for a few hours. Before done cover with mozzarella cheese and finish til melts. My favorite, and totally guilt free meal!
I’ve heard that Jerusalem Artichoke is a good sub for potatoes. I’m thinking that a jerky shooter or a sausage stuffing attachment for a KitchenAid mixer might help in shaping the tots quicker. Make a rope and slice off increments. Thanks again for taking one for the team and tasting against the real thing (lol). I’ve tried the commercial veggie tots and was not a huge fan. Congratulations on the new sponsor too.
I just ran across your channel a few days ago while looking for low carb food that wasn't boring. Wow! This is a gold mine. Thanks for sharing, you guys are just too cute. I enjoy the videos for the entertainment as well as the content.
My sister and I were literally just talking about that the thing we missed the most was bread and potatoes/French fries! I watched a TikTok video on RUclips of Lowcarb Love making a chaffle with cauliflower rice. She called it a hash brown, I think.
When I make the tater tots, I pack them into a 24-cup mini muffin baking pan, which I spray with pan spray first. Sure does save a lot of time and headache, lol
I made the tater tots and they were really good mine came out like salmon Pattie’s without the salmon I added bacon and onion to mine also a lil paprika
loving Sarah's hair in this vid.The tater tots look like too much work. I did keto for about 8 months and lost about 50 pounds. Fell off during COVID and now trying to get back on track.
Great video!! You both brighten my day! Thanks so much for these great ideas and the fact you are both so honest in your opinions. Not to mention, you give us suggestions on how to tweak them! Love you both!❤️❤️
I made the "viral recipe" chicken nuggets made from canned chicken and really liked them so I'm sure I'll like these "faux tater tots". Cheers from Ontario, Canada. I've been back on Keto since March. I always ask myself after a week "why did I even go off Keto", especially when it's such a yummy WOE. :)
It was fun watching you two cook the potato replacements. Luckily for me, I didn't eat many potatoes before keto so I don't miss them. Those pans are beautiful I'm almost afraid to look because I'm sure they are expensive.💜
Right on K Twins, Totally agree, CAN'T replicate a potato dish, but you CAN make a great tasty and satisfying dish in the process. K Twins, u r the bomb. Oh, also concerning the cabbage dish? Well yeah, brown the cabbage and onions first (that should rid much of the moisture), then combine in a bowl with the egg and a melty cheese like cheddar or mozz. Then make waffles in the Dash Waffle deally bob. Mmmmm, great side dish for along side you steak, burger patty or whatever. two thumbs up, Rocket
Love this tater tot/nugget thing. I'm a fan of cabbage, but you're right. I tried caramelizing first then adding egg. Better. However, I think for those kind of hashbrowns cooked spaghetti squash gives a closer feel to potato.
I found when using radishes in keto cooking cut them how intending to use them, such as chunks for potato salad… shreds for hash browns etc., soak them in salt water over night. The harshness softens.
I used 3 cups cauliflower, 2 3ggs and cheddar cheese with onionpowder garlis powder and smoked paprika. Baked in oven for 15 minutes on 350 then turn 180 degrees and broil on low for 5 minutes. 2 grams net carbs
I am T2D and cant eat a lot of carbs, my daughter make me some cauliflower Tater tots and they are great. We use a juicer to remove most of the water from the cauliflower then toast it on the stove and it works great. Thanks, and love watching you both experiment with things.
Budget Bytes has a cabbage pancake that is Japanese inspired ... Okonomiyaki. Super delish but recipe contains flour. I haven't made them since keto but I think they'd taste great with coconut flour. Her recipe calls for soy sauce and Sriracha mayo.
I am so happy to see different brands supporting you and your recipe endeavors. You go on ahead and keep manifesting what it is you want. I 100% miss potatoes in all varieties. I think radishes are my favorite substitute for a few different kinds. Oh those all sound like great options. I love watching y'all brainstorm. I have done a broccoli "rice" and cheese for a chaffle and it was delicious. I couldn't see why they felt cabbage was a replacement for hash. I am sure it tastes great, but a bit of a stretch. Have a great weekend.
I LOVE cabbage as a replacement in rice stir fries. I cook the cabbage (chopped) in a pan with butter or ghee until desired crispiness. Ooommmmggggg.....my surprise at the utter deliciousness!!!! So versatile. Add anything you like!
Thank you for all the encouragement and practical advice you provide to so many people. I have a substantial amount of weight to lose, and your honesty and vulnerability definitely resonate with me and help motivate me to stay the course. I have an observation that I have been thinking about sharing with you for a while, but I am concerned that it could be interpreted as critical, which it isn’t in any way. I suggest raising the camera you use in your videos a couple inches. In almost all your videos the camera shoots straight up your noses. I’ve dabbled in photography and one of the most important compositional considerations is to never shoot upward into someone’s nose. I think this applies to videos too. Please don’t take this as anything to make you feel self conscious. You’re both wonderful, lovely people. It’s just a tip from a very appreciative hobbyist photographer.
@@ketotwins I sincerely hope it is taken constructively. I saw your video about insecurities about photography and agonized about saying something. I love your channel and hope you give it a try and maybe make your content even better.
Pretty cool! I did the cabbage hasg once before, but I used Sauerkraut :D I also dropped in the pork panko and cheese as well (I think it was a parm/romano combo)..... pretty good! Nice cookware, too.
the cabbage hash idea is very similar to what they do in Korea where they take thinly shredded cabbage and onions and mix them in a big pitcher of scrambled eggs to make a cabbage pancake which they top with ketchup and sugar (you could use granulated keto "sugar" and then serve it on buttered toast in a sandwich. - so you could use keto bread, toast and butter it.. I've done that and it's awesome! in Korea sometimes they top the cabbage pancake with fried ham or even (Spam) or bacon and cheese and use that in the sandwich. It's Korean street fast food.. tons of videos on RUclips for it and I did find some keto versions of it
Great video Ladies!! Thank you!🙏😀 I have seen there is a corn flavoring that can be added in certain recipes like keto corn bread. So I searched and found that Amoretti Premium Extracts has a potato flavoring (they also have many other extracts) that can be added to substitute potato recipes. Hmm.... That might be nice and make the recipe taste more like potatoes. However, it is $66.15 for 4 ounces (they've sold out of the 2 ounce bottles). Thank you again for the great video!! 😊🙏💖
3:34 "It's for science. We're not enjoying it." LMAO. It's really cool you got a set of cookware that you love! I just finished putting a new seasoning on my cast iron skillet, and that dude shines like glass. I'm pretty excited to start using it again.
@@ketotwins I just dove down the rabbit hole of Maria Emerich's egg white bread. There's a lot of experimenting happening in my kitchen lately (and a lot of failures). The keto science is important!
@@messengeroftruth17 I just had a thought. If you're not using a good metal spatula on your skillet, you should invest in one. I've even gone so far as to sharpen the edge of mine so that it really gets under whatever I'm cooking. Wooden utensils just aren't up to the task like metal ones are. After you're finished cooking, a splash of water while the skillet is still hot can assist in loosening everything for easier cleaning. Set the pan back on heat to dry it off completely and after that, a super fine slick of oil across it to maintain the season.
I am a resistance starch girl. A prebaked and refrigerated half of a potato grated into this recipe or spaghetti squash (my favorite) doesn’t spike my blood sugar at all,
I discovered jicama it is the closest thing to a potato but low carb cut it up like french fries recipes can be found on Pinterest cook in air fryer delish! Pronounced hickama
I just made bacon and have the fat and 3-of-6 rashers, as well as a smallish green cabbage, too. Spices depend on how I feel, but I do love the world of flavor open to me! I'll slice the purple onion from pole-to-pole to leave lovely strands, rather than cutting across the equator and having them melt into the sauce and create an odd color, heheh. This is also delicious with brats, Polish, or ?
Love this gorgeous, safe cookware and your two recipes!!! I like the idea of caramelizing the cabbage first. I make a veggie tot with almond flour, mashed steamed carrot & chopped steamed broccoli & a little bit of garlic powder, baked. As you state in your video, if you accept these recipes for what they are, and not true replacements, they're great 😁
The best replacement for both hash browns and tater tots for me is spaghetti squash. Cook it till tinder then form patties for hash browns and for the tots chop some up and mash some up mix together and make tots. It doesn't taste like potatoes but close enough for me.
The cookware is beautiful. We have pampered chef products. I enjoy watching your channel and appreciate your collective effort on your content. Im not big on tater tots or hash browns but I do miss mashed potatoes....thanks for trying the recipes for us. I feel like it would save me time and effort doing it myself based on your reviews. God bless.
I switched to veggie tots a couple of years ago and I absolutely love them. Don't get me wrong, potatoes are the beez-kneez, but I don't miss them anymore. I love cauliflower/provolone/bacon tots, as well as broccoli/chedder. You ladies are seriously entertaining and I'm thoroughly enjoying your channel!
I like the idea of making this with slaw mix in smaller patties. I made cabbage steaks recently and they were wonderful (lots of garlic) so I imagine the cabbage hash browns will be equally as good. Thanks for the inspiration.
My wife tried a keto receipe and in making a mistake, she found the best hash brown tasting snack ever! She was trying to make the 2 ingredient breading from Serious Keto using pork rinds and cheddar cheese ground up in her blender but she accidentally blended too long and it ended up making a dough ball. She made little balls and pressed them down in the mini muffin tin and cooked them at the same time and temp as the pickle recipe and it came out tasting just like the little hash brown minis you get a chik fil a. Try it and you'll never want for hash browns again! I liked them and I'm not big into all the keto foods.
I make the cabbage and onions with butter and spices (no egg or cheese) as a hash all the time. Your guesses are right in line with my experience. The hash doesn't need to be formed as it can be loose so it really needs no binder. It allows the cabbage and onions to get caramelized and release a lot of moisture. I eat it with over easy eggs so that the yolks end up being the sauce. Of course it is not starchy/fluffy but it is flavorful. Yup, you do need to cut it finer for it to work best. As for the tater tot mixture, I've used nearly the same to make flat little patties that can fry quickly, well and crispy (easy) as well as make nests in ramekins for baked eggs (cute but way too much work for the same flavor profile). So you too discovered thin and crispy works out for that kind of mixture, just frying in a pan will get you similarly crisp on both sides. It was validating to see you go through my earlier pain of experimentation. Good luck on future refinements and other endeavors!
You guys are so funny, really enjoy your videos. I wanted to share with you that there are mesh bags you can get that you can drain the liquid off of vegetables instead of using a towel and they wash up very easily. I have a set that I got off Amazon that work great. They are IAesthete 2 Pack - 80 Micron Nut Milk Bag - 12X12 Inches 6.99. So much better than using a towel.

Pour an 8 ounce can of Hunts garlic, basil and oregano sauce (which only has 2 net carbs per 1/4 cup and costs less than a buck) and cook on low for a few hours. Before done cover with mozzarella cheese and finish til melts. My favorite, and totally guilt free meal!
I’ve heard that Jerusalem Artichoke is a good sub for potatoes. I’m thinking that a jerky shooter or a sausage stuffing attachment for a KitchenAid mixer might help in shaping the tots quicker. Make a rope and slice off increments. Thanks again for taking one for the team and tasting against the real thing (lol). I’ve tried the commercial veggie tots and was not a huge fan. Congratulations on the new sponsor too.
We used grated zucchini, and drained it extremely well. Amazing good. Used just like potatoes a little sweeter.
I just ran across your channel a few days ago while looking for low carb food that wasn't boring. Wow! This is a gold mine. Thanks for sharing, you guys are just too cute. I enjoy the videos for the entertainment as well as the content.
Glad you found us Rick!
I luv how focused she is when making the tot shape
🤣
My sister and I were literally just talking about that the thing we missed the most was bread and potatoes/French fries! I watched a TikTok video on RUclips of Lowcarb Love making a chaffle with cauliflower rice. She called it a hash brown, I think.
I just saw that. Going to try it😉
Interesting! We will have to check that out ! Thanks for sharing Angie!
When I make the tater tots, I pack them into a 24-cup mini muffin baking pan, which I spray with pan spray first. Sure does save a lot of time and headache, lol
I love when you experiment and make low carb replacements. Thank you for sharing with us I just love you girls. 💕
❤️❤️🤗🤗
I made the tater tots and they were really good mine came out like salmon Pattie’s without the salmon I added bacon and onion to mine also a lil paprika
Wow… new to keto
I love potatoes… eating real potato would definitely be a trigger for me. Thank you for trying this for us💞
loving Sarah's hair in this vid.The tater tots look like too much work. I did keto for about 8 months and lost about 50 pounds. Fell off during COVID and now trying to get back on track.
Great video!! You both brighten my day! Thanks so much for these great ideas and the fact you are both so honest in your opinions. Not to mention, you give us suggestions on how to tweak them! Love you both!❤️❤️
Aww thanks Thea, your delightful comments brighten our day too 🤗🤗
Thanks!🤗🤗
That music playing when making the tater tots was way too cute! So whimsical! So different from other channels. Loved it!
I made the "viral recipe" chicken nuggets made from canned chicken and really liked them so I'm sure I'll like these "faux tater tots". Cheers from Ontario, Canada. I've been back on Keto since March. I always ask myself after a week "why did I even go off Keto", especially when it's such a yummy WOE. :)
Hi from Durham Region!
It was fun watching you two cook the potato replacements. Luckily for me, I didn't eat many potatoes before keto so I don't miss them. Those pans are beautiful I'm almost afraid to look because I'm sure they are expensive.💜
I’ve used radishes to replace potatoes, shredded they make good hash browns or corn beef hash.
Our family has been enjoying broccoli tots and zucchini tots for years. Way before keto. I have adapted my recipes for Keto and the fam loves them.
Right on K Twins,
Totally agree, CAN'T replicate a potato dish, but you CAN make a great tasty and satisfying dish in the process. K Twins, u r the bomb.
Oh, also concerning the cabbage dish? Well yeah, brown the cabbage and onions first (that should rid much of the moisture), then combine in a bowl with the egg and a melty cheese like cheddar or mozz. Then make waffles in the Dash Waffle deally bob. Mmmmm, great side dish for along side you steak, burger patty or whatever.
two thumbs up,
Rocket
Great video girls! 👌 I love your new pans too. Congrats on the new sponsor!
Aww thanks Sally!! -Em
I ordered an extract the taste like mashed potatoes, I ordered it online on Amazon and it really does help give you that potato paste.
What brand?
Love this tater tot/nugget thing.
I'm a fan of cabbage, but you're right. I tried caramelizing first then adding egg. Better.
However, I think for those kind of hashbrowns cooked spaghetti squash gives a closer feel to potato.
I found when using radishes in keto cooking cut them how intending to use them, such as chunks for potato salad… shreds for hash browns etc., soak them in salt water over night. The harshness softens.
I used 3 cups cauliflower, 2 3ggs and cheddar cheese with onionpowder garlis powder and smoked paprika. Baked in oven for 15 minutes on 350 then turn 180 degrees and broil on low for 5 minutes. 2 grams net carbs
I am T2D and cant eat a lot of carbs, my daughter make me some cauliflower Tater tots and they are great. We use a juicer to remove most of the water from the cauliflower then toast it on the stove and it works great. Thanks, and love watching you both experiment with things.
Budget Bytes has a cabbage pancake that is Japanese inspired ... Okonomiyaki. Super delish but recipe contains flour. I haven't made them since keto but I think they'd taste great with coconut flour. Her recipe calls for soy sauce and Sriracha mayo.
You ladies are truly winners and are helping so many to become winners too..
🤗🥰🤗 thanks Donna!!
I am so happy to see different brands supporting you and your recipe endeavors. You go on ahead and keep manifesting what it is you want.
I 100% miss potatoes in all varieties. I think radishes are my favorite substitute for a few different kinds.
Oh those all sound like great options. I love watching y'all brainstorm. I have done a broccoli "rice" and cheese for a chaffle and it was delicious.
I couldn't see why they felt cabbage was a replacement for hash. I am sure it tastes great, but a bit of a stretch.
Have a great weekend.
Thanks Misty! We are so grateful for your support!! -Em
Thank you for the recipe, I will try and cook it for my daughter and I. We’re both on keto. Love your videos💕💕👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I LOVE cabbage as a replacement in rice stir fries. I cook the cabbage (chopped) in a pan with butter or ghee until desired crispiness. Ooommmmggggg.....my surprise at the utter deliciousness!!!! So versatile. Add anything you like!
Can't wait to try these,and so looking into the pans. Thank girls ur always fun to watch
Thank you for all the encouragement and practical advice you provide to so many people. I have a substantial amount of weight to lose, and your honesty and vulnerability definitely resonate with me and help motivate me to stay the course.
I have an observation that I have been thinking about sharing with you for a while, but I am concerned that it could be interpreted as critical, which it isn’t in any way.
I suggest raising the camera you use in your videos a couple inches. In almost all your videos the camera shoots straight up your noses. I’ve dabbled in photography and one of the most important compositional considerations is to never shoot upward into someone’s nose. I think this applies to videos too.
Please don’t take this as anything to make you feel self conscious. You’re both wonderful, lovely people. It’s just a tip from a very appreciative hobbyist photographer.
Thanks for the tips!
@@ketotwins I sincerely hope it is taken constructively. I saw your video about insecurities about photography and agonized about saying something.
I love your channel and hope you give it a try and maybe make your content even better.
I'm here for the science, 🔬⚗🧪🧫🧬, but I Stay for the Keto Twins Twinning 😉😁🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Yass
Haha it’s all in the name of keto research 🤣🤣 ❤️
Pretty cool! I did the cabbage hasg once before, but I used Sauerkraut :D I also dropped in the pork panko and cheese as well (I think it was a parm/romano combo)..... pretty good! Nice cookware, too.
the cabbage hash idea is very similar to what they do in Korea where they take thinly shredded cabbage and onions and mix them in a big pitcher of scrambled eggs to make a cabbage pancake which they top with ketchup and sugar (you could use granulated keto "sugar" and then serve it on buttered toast in a sandwich. - so you could use keto bread, toast and butter it..
I've done that and it's awesome! in Korea sometimes they top the cabbage pancake with fried ham or even (Spam) or bacon and cheese and use that in the sandwich.
It's Korean street fast food.. tons of videos on RUclips for it and I did find some keto versions of it
They also make them with kimchi too, which kicks up the flavor.
I love how real you guys are! Your videos always make me smile 😄
Great video Ladies!! Thank you!🙏😀 I have seen there is a corn flavoring that can be added in certain recipes like keto corn bread. So I searched and found that Amoretti Premium Extracts has a potato flavoring (they also have many other extracts) that can be added to substitute potato recipes. Hmm.... That might be nice and make the recipe taste more like potatoes. However, it is $66.15 for 4 ounces (they've sold out of the 2 ounce bottles). Thank you again for the great video!! 😊🙏💖
Thanks for the suggestions Lisa!! -Em
There is a silicone form for making Ice cubes you can slip into a soda bottle...smash that tot mix into , turn out, cut into size...easy peasy
3:34 "It's for science. We're not enjoying it." LMAO. It's really cool you got a set of cookware that you love! I just finished putting a new seasoning on my cast iron skillet, and that dude shines like glass. I'm pretty excited to start using it again.
What do you mean you put a new seasoning on your cast iron skillet? I find mine hard to clean. How do you clean your skillet?
Thanks Craig! It’s all for science, keto science 🤣
@@ketotwins I just dove down the rabbit hole of Maria Emerich's egg white bread. There's a lot of experimenting happening in my kitchen lately (and a lot of failures). The keto science is important!
@@messengeroftruth17 I just had a thought. If you're not using a good metal spatula on your skillet, you should invest in one. I've even gone so far as to sharpen the edge of mine so that it really gets under whatever I'm cooking. Wooden utensils just aren't up to the task like metal ones are. After you're finished cooking, a splash of water while the skillet is still hot can assist in loosening everything for easier cleaning. Set the pan back on heat to dry it off completely and after that, a super fine slick of oil across it to maintain the season.
@@craigslitzer4857 yup, i'm using big wooden spoons ...i will def try the splash of water while it's still hot - thank you!
I am a resistance starch girl. A prebaked and refrigerated half of a potato grated into this recipe or spaghetti squash (my favorite) doesn’t spike my blood sugar at all,
I just watched "Low Carb Love" do a cauliflower rice with cheese in a waffle maker to make a hash brown. I'm trying it tomorrow
I discovered jicama it is the closest thing to a potato but low carb cut it up like french fries recipes can be found on Pinterest cook in air fryer delish! Pronounced hickama
I love that cookware especially because it’s non toxic now I have to check if it’s affordable
I just made bacon and have the fat and 3-of-6 rashers, as well as a smallish green cabbage, too. Spices depend on how I feel, but I do love the world of flavor open to me! I'll slice the purple onion from pole-to-pole to leave lovely strands, rather than cutting across the equator and having them melt into the sauce and create an odd color, heheh. This is also delicious with brats, Polish, or ?
I love your honest comments. “They get bigger and bigger, because I get lazier.” That is me to a tee.
I buy Angel hair shredded cabbage. That would work well!
Love this gorgeous, safe cookware and your two recipes!!! I like the idea of caramelizing the cabbage first.
I make a veggie tot with almond flour, mashed steamed carrot & chopped steamed broccoli & a little bit of garlic powder, baked. As you state in your video, if you accept these recipes for what they are, and not true replacements, they're great 😁
I would think about trying hash browns made with el dente cooked jicama then blanch in ice water and fry in bacon fat with Lawry’s Season salt.
Google “Keto Broccoli Tots.” There are several versions. Most use almond flour. There was at least one that called for coconut flour.
Closest thing to potatoes I tried that was keto was a French fry recipe from low carb love
I use a potato ricer to squeeze out the excess water from the cooked cauliflower.
The best replacement for both hash browns and tater tots for me is spaghetti squash. Cook it till tinder then form patties for hash browns and for the tots chop some up and mash some up mix together and make tots. It doesn't taste like potatoes but close enough for me.
Best KETO CHANNEL on RUclips. These two have more talent in there little pinky. Gonna try tater tot recipe chaffel style.
Aww you are too kind, thank you!
The cookware is beautiful. We have pampered chef products. I enjoy watching your channel and appreciate your collective effort on your content. Im not big on tater tots or hash browns but I do miss mashed potatoes....thanks for trying the recipes for us. I feel like it would save me time and effort doing it myself based on your reviews. God bless.
Thanks so much Brian!
Love the green pots, I might get some too.
They are beautiful!
I made the "tater" tots and really enjoyed them. My dog absolutely loved them, probably because of the cheese.
Try rolling mix out in a long shape to cut into tots with the help of parchment paper.
I have used zucchini for hash and it works and tastes great!
I made some tater tots out of broccoli and I liked them way better than the cauliflower one and very easy recipe.
I switched to veggie tots a couple of years ago and I absolutely love them. Don't get me wrong, potatoes are the beez-kneez, but I don't miss them anymore. I love cauliflower/provolone/bacon tots, as well as broccoli/chedder. You ladies are seriously entertaining and I'm thoroughly enjoying your channel!
I like the idea of making this with slaw mix in smaller patties. I made cabbage steaks recently and they were wonderful (lots of garlic) so I imagine the cabbage hash browns will be equally as good. Thanks for the inspiration.
Do u have recipe for cabbage streaks?
My wife tried a keto receipe and in making a mistake, she found the best hash brown tasting snack ever! She was trying to make the 2 ingredient breading from Serious Keto using pork rinds and cheddar cheese ground up in her blender but she accidentally blended too long and it ended up making a dough ball. She made little balls and pressed them down in the mini muffin tin and cooked them at the same time and temp as the pickle recipe and it came out tasting just like the little hash brown minis you get a chik fil a. Try it and you'll never want for hash browns again! I liked them and I'm not big into all the keto foods.
Wow that sounds great! Thanks for sharing!
I'm not keto, but I like to see recipes for better tasting vegetables. I'll definitely try the tatter tots.
Just hilarious! It's too bad you girls can't post videos hourly. It'd really make my day🤣🤣
We don’t want to scare you away 🤣
I make the cabbage and onions with butter and spices (no egg or cheese) as a hash all the time. Your guesses are right in line with my experience. The hash doesn't need to be formed as it can be loose so it really needs no binder. It allows the cabbage and onions to get caramelized and release a lot of moisture. I eat it with over easy eggs so that the yolks end up being the sauce. Of course it is not starchy/fluffy but it is flavorful. Yup, you do need to cut it finer for it to work best. As for the tater tot mixture, I've used nearly the same to make flat little patties that can fry quickly, well and crispy (easy) as well as make nests in ramekins for baked eggs (cute but way too much work for the same flavor profile). So you too discovered thin and crispy works out for that kind of mixture, just frying in a pan will get you similarly crisp on both sides. It was validating to see you go through my earlier pain of experimentation. Good luck on future refinements and other endeavors!
Thanks for the tips Lori!!
I love you two💕thanks for trying all these recipe options. I really do take your opinions to heart.
❤️❤️ thank you! That means a lot to us! -Em
Oh, girls! Make the cabbage hash without the eggs, it is YUM!!! As always, great vid!! Love you!! 🥰💖
You guys are so funny, really enjoy your videos.
I wanted to share with you that there are mesh bags you can get that you can drain the liquid off of vegetables instead of using a towel and they wash up very easily. I have a set that I got off Amazon that work great. They are IAesthete 2 Pack - 80 Micron Nut Milk Bag - 12X12 Inches 6.99. So much better than using a towel.
Oh wow thanks so much Claudia! I bought some :) can’t wait to try it! -Em
Excited about the sponsor of your video!
