I like Potato pancakes !

We call em hashbrowns. I make them from scratch too. I wish I'd had a loaf of home made bread baked for the toast but it was all real good. I can't make homemade eggs better than a chicken does though! lol

I make potato pancakes with shredded onion,potato, 1 egg…all beaten together …salt pepper….and fry in oil. Is that how you make your hash browns ?

After I started making my own bacon (buckboard), we haven't bought any from the store in almost a decade. Leaner, heathier, and you know exactly what's in it.

I like thick cut, heavily peppered bacon. And the stuff you buy in the store just doesn't compare. Not to mention, When I get the pork on sale, it comes out to a little over $1.10/lb





did you soak it after you were done with the cure? I always soak mine for 1-3hrs after I take it out of the cure, in cold water. It really helps remove the salt.

ADC…..mine will blow those away !….lol

I use the foodsaver, some sportsman model. It does OK for what I need it. I let the bacon rest over night in the fridge, and slice the next day. Package in 1# packages, and put all the scraps, and end cuts in separate bags for beans or cabbage meals. I've made just short of 100# of bacon this year so far. Now, I'm waiting for pork butts to go on sale again.

I'm waiting for another sale myself.

I have tried food saver brand but had bad luck getting it to seal well. However I was trying wetter things like cut corn. The bacon being dryer would likely work better. I just used freezer ziplocs, it won't be around long enough to get freezer burn. lol

Thanks for all the info. I’m going to try making some. What’s the best slicer for the money?

My luck with Foodsavers has been hit and miss. I had a really fancy, top of the line one and it croaked in less than a year. The one I have now is basic... but it seals good. It's a model V2460.

I sealed 200 ears worth of corn with it this summer lol.

Show off. Mine was cut off the cob and was kinda wet so the juice ran up and didn't let it seal well, I think. Had similar luck with meat juices as well. I freeze most stuff in freezer bags or plastic freezer dishes. But I FIFO it so it doesn't get freezer burnt or go bad in the deep freeze. I don't store anything more than a few days in the refrigerator freezer.

Mine was cut off the cob also and it sealed good. My husband said I couldn't seal pumpkin puree because it was too liquidy. I said hide and watch, lol. It sealed that fine too.
