    Hi I'm a first-time viewer here and I will probably subscribe because you are just fun to watch and it's neat that you had your children involved in your creations. That is the best way to teach your kids cooking is to let them be involved.
    I would like to share just a couple of things, when I was young my mom taught me to use a vegetable brush in water or running water to clean the skins before cooking or I found a thick washcloth is also good for scrubbing the skins either way it removes the dirt and the dirty taste while still leaving the nutrients and fiber that is in the skin.
    I grew up eating potatoes for my whole life and I've been diabetic for over 20 years. About a year and a half ago I felt the need to cut out potatoes rice pasta and breads to get my A1c down to safe levels because I did not want to go on insulin. So other than a year ago during Thanksgiving when my daughter made potatoes I only ate one bite of the potatoes at the end of my meal otherwise I haven't had potatoes in a long time but I still love reading and watching recipes and then of course sharing those recipes with people when I think that it will interest them. I have also learned to find substitutions for the items I cannot eat anymore. Anyways several months ago I don't remember where I read it but someone was in Canada and the folks said that this one place had the best mashed potatoes in the world so this person tried them and they were awestruck. They talked with the Chef and that Chef said that when they made their potatoes they used white chocolate when they mix them all up. They said it did not taste like chocolate but it gave a certain "WOW" to the flavor impact of those potatoes. I thought I would pass that along in case anyone ever wants to try it.
    Currently my A1c is down to 5.4 and they are reducing my medications and I am also down 130 lb with another 90 that needs to be come off. I will be using my glucometer the rest of my life to check and see how my blood sugars are after my meals and only foods that don't Spike my blood sugars will be allowed through my mouth.
    If you have any amazing low carb or keto recipes it would be neat if you tried fixing them and giving a review. I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future.
    Oh just a little fact that my mother would have said.... no you did not lie because a lie is intentional deception what it is is that we make mistakes and err with information... she got tired of hearing us kids calling each other Liars so she told us the definition of a liar and told us to cool it if you know what I mean. Just an encouraging note.

    Just recently found your videos. I am enjoying watching what you do. You ask a lot of questions I would like to address but haven't yet. I did want to say I watched you try eating raw potatoes. When I was a kid I loved eating raw potatoes with salt. Although they would be peeled so they did not taste like dirt. And i sliced them up in thick slices. I don't think I would enjoy them so much any more. I am 69 now and a lot of tastes have changed. Thanks for what you do.. You don't have to be a professional to make good food.

    Hi Dave, lovin all your channels but this is the best! Do you know the rule about cooking veg? If it grows under the surface you need to put a lid on the pot/pan, but if it grows above the surface you shouldn't put a lid on. They will stink your kitchen out especially cabbages etc. Nice mash ❤ from UK 🇬🇧

  • @jiminlover8212

    I have never heard of shaking the taters. That must be the trick to making them Worlds Best!!! Growing up we used a hand mixer to mash them because a regular masher took too long. When I got older, I watched Food Network alot. Emeril always used a double (hand held masher) I looked for that sucker for years and one day out of nowhere I got lucky. I still have it and its perfect as long as your pot or bowl has a wide radius.

  • @mariettavangoor1127

    Use Boursin soft cheese, which comes in many mashed potato appropriate flavors instead of cream cheese and they will be next level. Roasted garlic is also good. For every day mashed potatoes I usually use similar milk and butter, but sour cream instead of cream cheese and they are always good. Curious if boiling the potatoes with the garlic and then pouring it off, if the garlic flavor came through?

    @DebadooCreates Год назад

    Your daughter is so cute!! I love smashed taters. I do prefer them without the peel just because I like them super creamy. I can't stand fake smashed taters. I knew you'd need a lot more salt in the water. Taters & pasta soak up the water so it should be very Salty like sea water. That way the salt actually is absorbed into the taters or pasta. In fact if your making soup or spaghetti sauce, anything liquid & you get it too Salty, you can cook a raw tater in it, & it will draw a good bit of the salt out of the dish so it's no longer too salty. I'm curious if the garlic flavor showed up very well. Just found your channel, & watched several videos. You're fun to watch. I actually used to always eat a small piece of raw Tater when I was a kid & my dad was making them. I liked them then.

  • @kathleenray1827
    @kathleenray1827 3 месяца назад

    Here is a tip… NOT A CRITICISM….. When transferring the garlic (or anything) to the pot with a knife, don’t hit the sharp side on the rim of the pot…. Hit the back side. This will keep you from nicking or otherwise damaging your blade and keep a sharp edge better. All that being said, a bench scraper is best and leave your knife for cutting.

  • @TinaTia-eq2kh
    @TinaTia-eq2kh 3 месяца назад

    In way of flavor, I always steam my unpeeled whole potatoes because in my own mind thinking I don't want any lost flavor or nutrients. But that's just me. But I did recently see a video where they swore that best way to prep potatoes before mashing is baking them whole with skin on for best flavor. I don't know but maybe Dave can try next time baking potatoes to see if better or not. Even though baking would make potatoes dryer, rhe liquids like melted butter and warm milk or cream adds moisture back in.????

  • @m.b.6402
    @m.b.6402 2 года назад

    Lid on pot to reach a boil faster. And look how much less steam is coming off the potatoes at the end of that shaking time: you go from clounds and billows to much, much less. All that water has been removed from your potatoes, making them taste better and making them a bit drier and less flubbery. After all, you're going to replace the water with milk and butter.

    comments as I watch:
    1) washing potatoes with skin (or any produce unpeeled) is a good idea because of pesticides that still could reside on the produce)
    2) yes submerging in water will stop the browning but in the time period it takes to cut up 5lbs of taters, it isnt needed
    3) Imagine eating raw potatoes on Mars grown in his own human feces
    4) you may find that using a bench scraper (dough blade) when chopping a lot of food is helpful to scoop up the veg or such and helps prevent dulling your knife
    5) Try buying the peeled bag of garlic and freeze it. It saves time peeling and they defrost quickly and many taste testers prefer frozen over fresh due to the crystalization during freezing
    6) Hulk is stronger than Thor in the MCU
    7) Just make a garlic herb compound butter with the remaining 2 tablespoons!
    8) better to melt on the stovetop as microwaving butter sometimes has pops from the water evaporation and makes a mess and you lose butter
    9) I've eaten many gummy and gluey mashed taters that are nasty
    10) the shaking step also cooks the starch that coats the potato and helps prevent the gummy result some get that I mentioned earlier
    11) may want to cut up the cream cheese as it will incorporate with less stirring
    12) I like chives as a garnish, but scallions is a good choice too
    Looks good, nice job
    My favorite mashed recipe is the "Whipped Potatoes" from Cook's Country

Then drain them beat them with beater put the potatoes into baking dish add butter a lil milk or cream and put into oven until browned. Done enjoy.

    PEEL!!!! Yes the skins are good for you but no matter how well I wash them, I always have a dirt after taste. Gonna have to try this recipe because everyone requests my taters so I don't know about this one. Im the official tater cooker in the family (especially at Thanksgiving) because no one makes them as good as I do!!! Growing up, if my grandpa had left over mashed 🥔 🥔 the next day he would intentionally slice a section and eat a cold mashed potato sandwich. He is still the only person I have ever known to do that. Cold tater sandwich, no thanks Papa. I guess his was literally potato bread. #buttermilk

    The problem is the cream cheese. So many cooks want to put cheese in everything, and after they do, then they relish shouting to add more cheese on top. You change a dish completely when you add cheese. It's not mashed potatoes anymore when you add cheese. I understand that cream cheese isn't quite the same thing, but nevertheless, the cheese thing is not a good approach. Cheese is great where it belongs, but not on/in everything.
