English term

hash brown maker

English to French Other Cooking / Culinary Kitchen
Apparently, hash brown means "galette de pomme de terre" but I am quite unsure about what a "hash brown maker" is.

This is part of a list of other kitchen devices.
Proposed translations (French)
4 +5 râpe à pommes de terre
2 +2 appareil à « hash browns »
3 Presse purée à levier

Tony,
Potato ricer is often used to produce mashed potatoes, hash browns, potato chips and more

Context Kévin, to help us sort out whether this is some kind of machine, appliance, or a simple utensil, please could you give us some more of the items on your list of kitchen "devices"?

le terme de cuisine pour ces galettes de pomme de terre est : paillasson.
Peer comment(s):
agree writeaway : yes, because after the râpe has done its work, the grated potatoes are pan fried until they are crisp. here's a picture (and recipe): http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/crispy_hash_browns/ + http://timawright.blogspot.be/2012/03/hash-brown-maker.html

Presse purée à levier

Peer comment(s):
neutral Tony M : Hash browns are made with grated potato (a little bit like farcidure / milhassou), not mash. / OK, I wasn't thinking about the interchangeable grille type!

neutral writeaway : for hash brown, the potatoes are grated raw and then pan fried. a presse purée works with cooked (ie boiled/steamed) potatoes. this will never yield real hash browns.

appareil à « hash browns »

I think you might find this is a kind of heating machine, like a gaufrier, in which you out your grated potato mixture to cook.

Not really any convincing Ghits for this idea... so as W/A says, maybe they are only ever pan-fried. :-(

I just wondered if it was maybe some kind of press for moulding them, like you get for hamburgers etc.?

Merci, Madeleine ! Pareillement !
neutral writeaway : Sorry, but no: Get rid of multiple kitchen appliances with this cool multi-purpose machine! Make a variety of foods on this! Toasted Sandwiches Waffles Eggs Hash browns - potato or kumara the choice is yours! Grill Steak, chicken or fish

Yes, but think about it: a grater is 'à tout faire' as well — and look how many electrical appliances are called a '...-maker' (yoghurt/bread/ice-cream to name but a few...)
agree Daryo : a "maker" would be s.t. elaborate, a machine, not just a grater// as this "maker": http://premeditatedleftovers.com/recipes-cooking-tips/the-fa...

Thanks, Daryo! Yes, that's the way I see it too, like a coffee-maker; otherwise, you might as well say that a potato peeler is also a 'hash-brown maker' ;-)
