This was unbelievably awesome! I threw everything in the pot and my husband turned it on when he went to bed at 2 AM. The only change I made was using salted butter and 6 slices of bacon. I was not sure how thick to slice the potatoes, so I did approximately 1/4" slices (unpeeled). I also figured that I was supposed to crumble the bacon :) The only problem I had is that since I have a large crockpot (6 1/2 qt.), smaller recipes seem to cook much faster, so I used the low setting and after 6 hours the edges were burning a little bit. I have been told that the crockpot should be at least half full and it wasn't, so I am either going to have to buy a smaller crockpot, or double the recipe! Since these were sooooo great, I am sure no one would mind. It was so nice to come down in the morning and only have to whip up a big batch of scrambled eggs and toast! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe...it is difficult to cook a nice breakfast for a family of six and this made it easy. P.S. I was going to take a picture, but they ate them so fast, I couldn't get one! I will try next time...thanks again! -
I put this in the crockpot Saturday night and on Sunday morning we awoke to the most marvelous smells! This was delicious! I cooked it on low however and to solve the problem another reviewer had of the potatoes being grey I tossed them in a mixture of of cream of tartar and water. I got that tip from a cookbook and it works like a charm. Thanks for a great recipe! -
I gave it 4 stars because it was easy to put together, smelled great while cooking and tasted good when done. I would consider this a "family only" recipe simply because the potatoes didn't keep their nice white color like you'd expect in a hash-brown recipe. They were greyish color. It didn't effect the taste but I wouldn't like to serve them to company. -
Had seen something similar but decided to try this one. ADD A TIN OF TOMATOES----makes for lovely flavor and stops it drying out. Enjoy -
Sorry, but this was a disaster for me. I wish I had read all of the reviews first, so I would have known to cook it on low or add some liquid or something. By the time I made it back to the kitchen (8 hours and 5-10 minutes after starting) it was well beyond dried out. It was dark brown across the top and burnt in spots and all around the edges. There was a thin layer of bland but edible food in the very middle of the crockpot. The best parts were spots where I had left the bacon a little under-done with a fair amount of fat still attached. Those pieces came out less leathery and the surrounding potatoes retained a little more moisture and had the benefit of some flavoring from the bacon grease. I wouldn't make this again without major modifications to the recipe, but thanks anyway.

The outpouring of support from the Recipezaar community while his health was declining was a huge comfort to him and even "perked him up" a bit in his final month. Miller was a huge asset to Recipezaar, not only due to his incredible collection of recipes, but his participation in the forums. Miller was known for his wonderful low-sodium recipes, his warmth, and last, but not least, his wicked, dry sense of humor.

No, the picture to the left is not me. It is, in fact, a picture of famous TV Chef Jamie Oliver (a/k/a Thpit Boy)’s grandfather, the late Sir Topaz McWhacker. Note the strong family resemblance, most noticeable in the nose, eyebrows, and general lack of cleanliness Legend has it that Topaz taught Thpit everything that he knows about whacking and about only washing and combing his hair twice a year.

Instead of the trivia that many Recipezaar members have displayed on their “About Me” pages, I thought it might be a tad more helpful if I were to provide some beneficial information that you can put to good practical use either in your own kitchen or when you are watching the antics of some celebrated TV chefs. So, for your enlightenment.....
.
.
Chairman Kaga:
When he says “Ion Shff”, he really means “Iron Chef” or, perhaps, “I need a Kleenex”
.
Chef Paula Deen:
When she says “awl”, she really means “oil”.
When she says “y’all”, she really means “everyone except m’all”.
When she says “bring the water to a bawl”, I have no clue what she means - I thought you could only make a baby “bawl”.
And, boys and girls, you can easily Deenize the sentences that you use in your very own kitchen, such as “All y’all can bawl your corn in olive awl or wrap it in aluminum fawl”.
.
Emeril Lagasse:
When he says “confectionery sugar’, he really means “confectioners’ sugar”.
When he says “pappa-reeka”, he really means “paprika”.
When he says “inside of”, he really means “in”.
When he says “a little”, he really means “a lot”. Have you ever tried to count the number of times he says “a little” during any given show? Don’t – it will drive you nuts.
When he says “cardamin”, he really means “cardamom”.
When he says “my water don’t come seasoned”, what he really means is “I need a new joke writer”.
When he says “that www dot food thing”, he really means “I flunked Computerese 101”.
.
Iron Chef Morimoto:
When he says “Foo Netwu”, he really means “Food Network”.
.
Dessert Dude Jacques Torres:
When he says “I going”, he really means “I am going”. (The verb “to be” has apparently been deleted from the French language.)
.
Spit Boy Jamie Oliver:
When he says “whack it in the oven”, he really means “I am into hot, kinky stuff”.
When he says “Bob’s yer uncle”, what he really means is “you’d better ask your aunt how well she REALLY knew that mailman named Robert”.
When he says “rocket”, he really means “an older weapon being used in Iraq”.
When he says “Fewd Netwuk”, he really means “Food Network”.
.
Numerous chefs:
When they say “codfish” and “tunafish”, what they really mean is “cod” and “tuna”, respectively. Please note that they use these terms so that you don’t go out and buy “codanimal” or “tunavegetable” by mistake. Having said that, I have no clue as to why they don’t refer to “troutfish”, “salmonfish”, “red snapperfish”, etc., etc.
.
Giggly-Wiggly Rachael Ray:
When she says “EVOO”, she really means “don’t use BOCO (boring old corn oil)”.
When she says “a little lettuce action going on”, she really means “with only 8 minutes left in the game, cabbages are still in the lead, but lettuces are making a strong comeback”.
.
Two Fat Ladies:
When they say “I gwing”, they really mean “I am going” or “Sorry, but we have been watching too many episodes of Jacques Torres’ show”.
.
Please note that the above is not all-inclusive. If there are other celebrity chef words or phrases that have you stumped, please post an "ISO" message in the discussion forums and I will find the translation for you.
