1st Attempt...Crash hot potato with Brats

[Tony R]

I see Jim Lampe doing Crash hot potatos and decided to make some tonight. But I didnt do it right Im either over cooked the potato or im very strong. It was all good. Its started with a little grease fire and ended with a nice dinner. Any tips or suggestion are welcomed. I showed my wife how they are suppose to look and she just smiled and said they were fine..

how it started...

Grilled onions...

the main event...

removed the onions and added the potatos...

plated and ready to eat. I added butter and salt and pepper. Thanks for looking.

Looks good to me...except for the volcano flames at the beginning of the cook!

That's what I was thinking. That's a serious fireball for a bunch of brats.

The fire went away after a few minutes. There must of been some chicken grease

Very nice looking brats!!! I have never tried making the crash hots.

Looks like your cook turned out great, and your wife is obviously an excellent lady!

 

[Dave O (Alaska)]

Tony, didn't mean your taters looked bad, just trying to say you have a supportive wife!

 

[Mike Coffman]

Everything looks delicious Tony!

 

[Rolf Jacobsen]

Tony I gave up worrying about what the crash hots look like a long time ago. I'll bet they were delicious!

Nice looking meal.

 

[Morgan C.]

Good looking crashers and brats Tony!! You did it up right and looks like the grates got cleaned up in the process!

Yum...

 

[Gene Brownson]

Tony, looks good to me. I'll be on the next train out. Keep that grease fire going so we have a light to get through the night....

Hey Tony,

I do crash hots alot and they never come out looking as good as Jims. I have found though that using small red potatoes works better, more skin to potato ratio which gives more skin to get crispy. If I use whole potatoes and they arent small I cut them in half. Either way, they all come out tasty as I'm sure yours did...

 

[Tim McCann]

Like Rick said Tony, New Potatoes or Reds have waxy skin and different texture, but those look like they ate the same!

Thanks. I will use the red potatoes next time.

[Jim Lampe]

Tony, Mrs. R is right, they'e fine!

 

[Ed M.]

Your brats and crash hots look great, Tony!

 

[Paul Kastner]

I have never made the crash hots so can't comment on how they look. But that last picture of the plated food looked great.
