I was one of those kids that grew up on McDonald's and pizza hut. Rarely ate a home cooked meal other than holidays at my Maw's house. So as an adult with a family of my own now, It's important to me that I provide my children with nutritious meals as well as the basic skills needed to create them. I just recently found your channel & would like to tell you I really appreciate your videos and all the important information you pass along. God Bless you dear friend 🙏 ❤️
You are a good cook. I love how you portion, and inform new cooks, with warnings too. I was a GirlScout Leader for many years. I had 1 motherless child I think her Dad made food from packages and that's alright at least he was feeding his kids the best he could. I used to have a cook session once a month with my girls we ate what we cooked, had dinner together. Her Dad came to see me and thanked me for teaching his daughter how to cook simple meals. He learned a lot from her experience. God Bless single parents doin right by their kids.
Thank you, Debra for teaching our girls how to cook and showing the girls how to be young women in mind and spirit. So much of home economics is not taught these days. Becoming a lost art.
Dear Sister Becky, you always include the most important ingredient in cooking, whether American or ethnic cooking: LOVE of our Lord first and of family and of cooking! Without LOVE there is no point. You are a blessing!
I knew this was an older video when I clicked on it and I have been making mashed potatoes for over 50 years but I just love watching your videos. I make my mashed potatoes the same way you do, step-by-step and exactly the same. My husband is a meat and potatoes and gravy man so I have made mashed potatoes many, many times. I love mashed potatoes and gravy or mashed potatoes and just butter. Thanks for the video and you are so right about so many young people not knowing how to cook. Your channel is a blessing not only for the great cooking lessons but for the spiritual value in each and everyone of them. Thanks Becky, you are a joy to watch.
I like to watch the videos too, even if i already have a way of cooking things. Because i almost always learn something a little extra....and the great scripture is a wonderful bonus!
Oh so loved watching this today. This is the way mama always made mashed potatoes. Everyone that came to the house, these were served at dinner and was funny. Everyone asked mom how she made those potatoes. She never did tell them she would say "oh its so easy nothing special" and then change the subject. LOL Almost have this memorized now. Thought I would put it on paper so no one forgets.
Enjoy your family this Thanksgiving! I know it will be bitter sweet, but remember your sweetheart is close beside you, still! Allow yourself to feel him near. My sweetheart has been gone 19 years, I still feel him near! Our darling daughter joined him 2 years ago this Dec 27th. She, too, is by my side often! God bless you and comfort you through the holidays!💞🙏
My favorite line from another video of yours was when you said "If you need a tutorial on how to peel potatoes, you're probably not ready for this recipe". I'm pretty sure it was the fried chicken, which was delicious! I love all your recipes, especially the peach cobbler! Thank you for all you do!
My grandparents all passed away when I was extremely young and I want to thank you so much for doing this channel because in the last month or two I have gone back to doing everything scratch and you have been a godsend throw away the hamburger helper and hello hillbilly kitchen dinner.
I really enjoyed watching this! I'm 80 years old, but as a teenager, my mother didn't have time to teach me how to cook, even the simplest things! I taught myself and I make my mashed potatoes like you do. But I learned why I take all the black spots and the green color off the potatoes, today! And I didn't know about using heavy cream... that I wasn't too try! Thank you so much! Would you follow the same directions to make mashed sweet potatoes? I love you videos!💜
Thank you Ms Becky for helping the youngins to learn some skills that were not passed down from previous generations! My Dad was a cook in the Navy during WWII and taught me and my siblings to cook. I passed the knowledge on to my kids. Great tips! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! God Bless!
I've made my potatoes like this for over 50years. On holidays, I use cream, the rest of the time it's milk. They are one of the first things my grandma taught me to make. Thank you, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thank you for your recipes. You cook like my Kentucky mother. Unfortunately, I wasn't interested in cooking when she was alive and I never learned how to cook just like her. Now she is gone and I want to cook her recipes and you are giving me that. Thanks again.
I am so grateful to God for you Becky! Being a new wife and mother, you help me love my family through the gift of a home cooked meal. Also, I get overwhelmed, being new to this. Thank you for helping me stay God centered through it all. My mother introduced us, so thanks Mom! ♥️🙏♥️ Put God first!
You are awesome! What a great teacher you are... Your patience and way of explaining is so good. God has given you so much talent for doing exactly what you do. Thank you. God bless...
I do one potato for each person, and one for the pot as well. That way, I have at least some leftovers And while you did not mention it, it's an awesome tip to do the peeling into a bag. That makes clean up so easy! Compost the scraps if you can.
It's so great to finally see someone who actually peels their potatoes with a pairing knife. That is how I was taught and have never used those silly potatoe peelers. The only thing I own a potatoe peeler for is to use on my carrots. They are useless for anything else. I cannot begin to understand how anyone cannot use a pairing knife like my granny and my momma did. You make your mashed potatoes the exact way I was taught. I use heavy cream in my potatoes to give them an amazing taste. I use milnot when I don't have the whipping cream handy. The wooden spoon was my granny's way and a must when she taught me. I love your channel. ❤
I have just ONE potato peeler that I've kept, because it works. I bought it @The Vermont Country Store yrs ago, while visiting there. I think it's made in Sweden. Prob avail through catalog. I also use it to peel carrots and apples, and on chocolate.
At holiday meals, I always make what I call stuffed mashed potatoes. I first made it for my nephew who used to have his holiday meals with me. I actually start with baked potatoes. Then whip them and add cheddar, cream cheese, and sour cream along with butter. This is not a diet dish. My nephew is almost 20 years older now and he still likes his mashed 'taters stuffed.
Good video for great mash potatoes,😊 Becky you sure are good with a knife, I’m a 3 time stroke survivor weak,bad left hand now, I am nursing a cut finger prepping potatoes & carrots for your hillbilly soup, which turns out great for a limited cook, kinda handicapped now, need these one pot recipes, love cooking and all your videos 🙏🏻✝️🌸
I'm 55. Was taught to cook by my mom, who cooked for all 12 of us kids. We were taught that the green spots were the potato being dug up too early. Glad to learn some new things today. Thank u!
Hillbilly Verses and Vittles, someone should turn every young person out there onto your channel! I have a mother that is an amazing cook, that taught me so much, but like she always says, every great cook knows there is always something to learn!
My father and uncle farmed my grandparents' land (in the Northeast), so that they would have an income. One of the main crops was potatoes. However, I never knew that the green was poisonous; I just knew it tasted bad! Thx so much for all of your little tips!! Also, I like to boil a (peeled) turnip and several garlic cloves right in w the potatoes, for extra flavor. Esp for festive occasions!
My pts, always come out crappy, I can't wait to try this. And thank you 4 reminding me to listen and keep my temper in check. You are a great inspiring woman.
Hello I am a new subscriber from England. I find your videos quite relaxing and interesting, like the fact that you mention you would just put your hand over the potatoes when rinsing, I think it adds to the joy of cooking when things like that happen it's normal. Great channel.
You are so right and it's sad that our younger generation doesn't know a lot of what we know. I'm mid 30s and I have 4 kids 4 to 10yo and I teach them from growing to, butchering to cooking how to feed themselves. In fact we just got done with a 200lb deer we we're blessed to have!!!
Its good your teaching your kids alot. There are alot of kids whose parents spend so much time working away from home that home cooked meals fall to the back burner. Its nice the way shes showing dome basics. Mashed taters were a staple in our house, cant imagine being without them
@@karenv5103 Amen, I am a stay-at-home mom and caregiver for my my better half who's an injured vet. I homeschool them even. That's part of why we struggle is because I can't work outside our home. My family needs me so we live off his disability
I've never been able to make good mashed potatoes. I'm definitely going to try this. Your 2 ingredient fudge has been a hit with everyone I've given it to. Praise God for such a good teacher you are. I feel I can create better tasting dishes after watching your videos. Thank you for taking the time to teach us how to prepare the food God has given us.
Beautiful Becky! My grandma always said "waste not, want not " so she taught me to toss an extra potato in the pot then save the cooking water and the extra potato. After making and enjoying the mashed potatoes, mash the one potato in the cooking water and use that to make potato rolls or bread. Very low cost rolls or bread and delicious!
Hey Becky I am watching you on my lunch break again & seeing you use the grocery bag is so good to see because I thought I was alone in doing this! 😊God bless y'all! Have a wonderful day!
@@Dan-yw9sg if I have a can I definitely make them that way. If not, then whatever I have on hand: chicken broth, milk, heavy whipping cream... But I definitely add butter, salt and pepper.
I have had no experience on how to properly make mashed potatoes. I’m so glad you are sharing how to make simple, staple foods. There really are people like me who have never been taught. Thank you.
I'm a seasoned cook and I appreciate this video! Some things, no matter how hard you try, just won't work. Well, I followed your directions and they came out great! The only thing, I didn't hear you say cream, and I used milk and they came out a little less than creamy. That's ok, though. They are still better than they have ever been. Thank you!
I don’t know if you go back to comments bc I know this video is two years old. I’m a cook but by no means an expert. I’ve made mash potatoes for years but love the tips and advice you give in your cooking video. I always feel we can learn something new. Thank you
Hello. Just discovered your Chanel this past week and I've been binge watching your videos. I enjoy cooking so much. I normally cook for around 50+ women when our church has its women's retreats every year. Always cook from scratch as much as possible and the folks call me the "cornbread queen" lol silly name but they love my cornbread ha ha it's refreshing to have a kind spirited you tuber who loves the Lord and not ashamed to say it. We need more of that in this world. Keep up the good work. In Christian Love 🙏
I make mashed potatoes the way you do. I am blessed that my mom cooked for us growing up. Thank you for the encouragement and scriptures at the end of the video :)
Becky, I'm truly surprising myself because I'm finally learning to listen more - seriously its even lowered my blood pressure. :) This is our families traditional mashed potatoes recipe... with the smallest tweak - I reincorporate about 1/4 cp of my potato broth back in & use a bit less carnation milk. This enriches the potato flavor nicely. Sending love & heartfelt prayers to you & your family.
What a great video. Teaching how to cook good food and how to treat each other well. Thank you. I've always been afraid of making mashed potatoes, now I don't have to be. Thank you for that as well. When I was growing up my momma didn't cook, we ate mostly hotdogs and boiled potatoes or cabbage. My great grandma was fabulous cook, but we only saw her once or twice a year, and she never let us in the kitchen. So I had to learn on my own, and there weren't any computers back then. Trial and error, many errors. I noticed that I peel just the way you do, somehow it comforts me to know that I didn't get it too wrong.
I love all your videos but especially this one. I love the scripture you quote I can see your faith as you talk. Thank you for being you and sharing with your audience. I can relate to most of your recipes. My mom taught me so much about cooking the old fashion way. I wish she was stilll with me so many good memories. Thank you Becky.
When I was in high school many years ago, in my home economics class we made food from scratch. Fast forward to my daughter in high school (late 90’s) and in her home economics class they made everything from a box! I was shocked when she told me that. Now, there’s nothing wrong with cooking from boxed meals but in school economics it makes more sense to learn how to cook from scratch. Those are some of the basics that I feel need to be taught. So many young people are clueless when it comes to the kitchen. I taught my daughter to cook meals from scratch and how to measure the ingredients correctly and you can alter a recipe by just changing a few ingredients for a completely different meal. Self sufficiency 😊
Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe 🌷👏 I love the way you explain and talk with us all your secrets in your cooking like we're right there with you 🦃 Happy Thanksgiving everyone 💝
WOW......I have tried all my life and tis is the first time anyone has explained to me how to make mashed potato's. Iy have watched, but they never really explained and I don't believe they wanted to either. I can't wait to try it exactly as you showed us. You deserve your own TV show. I am so impressed at how you explained this to a regular person, in a regular kitchen, and dressed as most fo us also would. You now have a new subscriber.
Hello Hillbilly kitchen, new sub , just wanted to mention that I just made your pineapple cake today......it WAS AMAZING!! Loved it. my family was very very happy. Thank you for this recipe great job....sorry I know it's got nothing to do with this video, but I needed to let you know
I drain my potatos until completely dry before using a hand mixer. Then gradually add the milk or cream. I add the butter near the end of the mixing. This keeps them from becoming gluey.
Great grandma taught me to look for a more soft and fluffy edge on the potato and if they fall off the fork when you stab a few and lift up 😉 so glad to see someone else make them the way great grandma used to😍 thank you so much for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving and God bless you
I’ll tell you what I need a hillbilly kitchen restaurant right down the street because I would be there predominantly every day I love watching your recipes I love watching you cook I really really do just had to say that
This is the receipt I have used for 50 yearrs. At all family gatherings I am requested to make the mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes are the first empty bowl. My daughters and granddaughters keep trying to duplicate, but haven't got there yet. I told them again today the secret is cooking them till they are very tender and make sure you use lots of butter, You are an inspiration and breath of fresh air. Love your videos . Also, I could not agree more. Keep God First.
God bless you Sweet Becky... when I watch one of your programs it's like visiting a dear friend.. Thank you for the cooking tips. But most of all thank you for sharing your belief in God. 🙏🙏🙏
Your so right about there being people who weren’t taught to cook. I’m 37 and have been teaching myself to cook since I was 6 and I still have a lot to learn. I still haven’t learned how to make a turkey and stuff yet. Lol
I love watching your videos Becky! I wish I lived next door. You are touching so many lives with your kindness and love. Jesus is shining right through you! Now I’m dieing for some mashed potatoes and some of my grandma’s milk gravy with all the cracklings in it from the fried chicken. She’s long gone to Heaven with my mom and all my aunts and uncles. I bought your cookbook, how else can I help you. May the Lord bless your socks off. 🥰
Thank you for your kind words Amy, it means more to me than you will ever know. Thank you for buying my book, I hope you enjoy it and I appreciate your support. God bless you and your family!
Thank you for your Mashed Potato Recipe & step by step instructions. I appreciate you very much; especially your faith: putting God first! So very encouraging❣️
Those look so good! My dad like mashed turnips in his potatoes, because that's what his mom did. I don't usually use a masher or beater. My favorite way is to use a potato ricer. Come out smooth n creamy every time! 🦃🍁Happy Thanksgiving Becky🦃🍁
My grandma had a bit cone shaped ricer that she usually pushed her tomatoes through when she canned tomato juice but for big meals she used it for mashed potatoes and they sure do come out smooth.
I just got your cookbook in the mail yesterday! I thank you greatly for the "easy" recipes everyone else knows! I love your words of wisdom. God bless 🇺🇸❤️🙏🏻
My late mother used to cook 10 lbs of potatoes every Sunday and make them like yours except she added a heaping TBS of Blue Plate salad dressing. She is still talked about by everyone who ever ate them. They were delicious. God bless.
I remember my grandmother making mashed potatoes just like this in red level Florida. We would all gather and eat at Granny's house after church and she would make fried chicken and mashed potatoes , the best chicken gravy, White acre peas, And homemade macaroni and cheese just for me. If blackberries were in season she would make a homemade BlackBerry pie. Thank-you-ma'am for what you do it's like coming home. Is God-bless you and your family.
Amen sister! Keep cooking yummy food for our bodies,,, but most of all, YOU KEEP FEEDING SOULS WITH THE WORD OF GOD ✝️❣May He bless & keep all of you🙏‼️
Hello Becky here in Ireland we put scallions (baby onion) in our mash potatoes and in winter we mix cabbage with them, just love your video's and happy thanksgiving to you and your family God bless Patrick
I do cabbage too. I don't really like mashed potatoes per se, so I'm always doing stuff to make them ...different. My go to is cilantro (i.e. coriander) but then I put that on/in/with everything that I can justify.
I Love it! Your very kind caring and common.. no fancy unfamiliar talk or terms I know everyone is very comfortable with your videos! I was cook in resturant many years. But I learned some gre as t tops from this video! Thank you for your channel I. LOVE IT, Brenda
I’ve never had any complaints in 55 years and I make mine the very same way! Yummy! You can also put a tad of butter while boiling, it will never boil over. Great trick I heard about neons ago!
I do that, too, w the butter. Or, sometimes, a splash of olive oil. I like that flavor, too. It's fun to change it up, sometimes. I also like to use different kinds of salt, to play with the slightly different flavors they impart (e.g., Himalayan, black garlic, etc.)
Love your channel. When I make mashed potatoes and gravy, I do not pour away the water after potatoes have cooked. I save it to mix in the gravy. I've received many compliments on my gravy.
My mother and grandmothers were excellent cooks. I was bit of a tomboy and didn't want to learn. I regret it but have learned from my husband while in my 50s. I haven't perfected some things yet (mashed potatoes). Thank you.
I just found your channel and I'm now a dedicated viewer. I love your recipes and your messages at the end of your videos. Thank you for your hard work.

It's wonderful you doing these videos since home economics is no longer taught in schools, which is a crying shame to my mind.

Happy Thanksgiving!
My brother's wife used cream cheese for holiday potatoes;;!!!!! Soooo GOOD
I love a little heavy cream 🥰
My grandma always used milk but I'm think some heavy cream would taste pretty darn good.
Thank you for your recipes. You cook like my Kentucky mother. Unfortunately, I wasn't interested in cooking when she was alive and I never learned how to cook just like her. Now she is gone and I want to cook her recipes and you are giving me that. Thanks again.

After cooking 60+ years... I'M STILL LEARNING! thank you for the tips. 🤗 love your videos and praises to our Lord!
Good on you! I hope I keep learning until the day I die...it's such fun, i find!
I love how everyone has their own mashed potato recipes. My grandfather used Pet evaporated milk
OMG we do that in my family too! I thought we were the only ones. Only for holiday potatoes though. The rest of the year it's just milk.
I use Pet milk also. 🙂
My mom did too, she especially used it in her coffee too!
Texas Tea I still fix them that way! A hard habit and preferred taste to break! Lol!
@@Dan-yw9sg if I have a can I definitely make them that way. If not, then whatever I have on hand: chicken broth, milk, heavy whipping cream... But I definitely add butter, salt and pepper.

Yes it helps my granddaughter. She can see exactly how you do it. I can tell her but she gets mixed up. This is great. Thank you
Thank you for teaching me the basics. My mom did not teach me how to cook, so these videos are wonderful! Bless you

Hello. Just discovered your Chanel this past week and I've been binge watching your videos. I enjoy cooking so much. I normally cook for around 50+ women when our church has its women's retreats every year. Always cook from scratch as much as possible and the folks call me the "cornbread queen" lol silly name but they love my cornbread ha ha it's refreshing to have a kind spirited you tuber who loves the Lord and not ashamed to say it. We need more of that in this world. Keep up the good work. In Christian Love 🙏
I make mashed potatoes the way you do. I am blessed that my mom cooked for us growing up. Thank you for the encouragement and scriptures at the end of the video :)
Becky, I'm truly surprising myself because I'm finally learning to listen more - seriously its even lowered my blood pressure. :) This is our families traditional mashed potatoes recipe... with the smallest tweak - I reincorporate about 1/4 cp of my potato broth back in & use a bit less carnation milk. This enriches the potato flavor nicely. Sending love & heartfelt prayers to you & your family.
Great recipe and thank you so much for those words of wisdom.
What a great video. Teaching how to cook good food and how to treat each other well. Thank you. I've always been afraid of making mashed potatoes, now I don't have to be. Thank you for that as well. When I was growing up my momma didn't cook, we ate mostly hotdogs and boiled potatoes or cabbage. My great grandma was fabulous cook, but we only saw her once or twice a year, and she never let us in the kitchen. So I had to learn on my own, and there weren't any computers back then. Trial and error, many errors. I noticed that I peel just the way you do, somehow it comforts me to know that I didn't get it too wrong.
I love all your videos but especially this one. I love the scripture you quote I can see your faith as you talk. Thank you for being you and sharing with your audience. I can relate to most of your recipes. My mom taught me so much about cooking the old fashion way. I wish she was stilll with me so many good memories. Thank you Becky.
When I was in high school many years ago, in my home economics class we made food from scratch. Fast forward to my daughter in high school (late 90’s) and in her home economics class they made everything from a box! I was shocked when she told me that. Now, there’s nothing wrong with cooking from boxed meals but in school economics it makes more sense to learn how to cook from scratch. Those are some of the basics that I feel need to be taught. So many young people are clueless when it comes to the kitchen. I taught my daughter to cook meals from scratch and how to measure the ingredients correctly and you can alter a recipe by just changing a few ingredients for a completely different meal. Self sufficiency 😊
Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe 🌷👏 I love the way you explain and talk with us all your secrets in your cooking like we're right there with you 🦃 Happy Thanksgiving everyone 💝
WOW......I have tried all my life and tis is the first time anyone has explained to me how to make mashed potato's. Iy have watched, but they never really explained and I don't believe they wanted to either. I can't wait to try it exactly as you showed us. You deserve your own TV show. I am so impressed at how you explained this to a regular person, in a regular kitchen, and dressed as most fo us also would. You now have a new subscriber.
Such a sweet nature & caring Sister in Christ. I appreciate you.
Hello Hillbilly kitchen, new sub , just wanted to mention that I just made your pineapple cake today......it WAS AMAZING!! Loved it. my family was very very happy. Thank you for this recipe great job....sorry I know it's got nothing to do with this video, but I needed to let you know
I've always wondered about it.. Thanks for sharing with us..
Thank you very much! I have to be careful not to make pineapple cake too often because Bret's diabetic and he'll eat every morsel of it, lol.
I drain my potatos until completely dry before using a hand mixer. Then gradually add the milk or cream. I add the butter near the end of the mixing. This keeps them from becoming gluey.
May the blessings of this resurrection celebration be upon you and all of your family.
Thank you and God bless you. Happy Easter!
You're making me hungry. I love watching your videos, and I look forward to more of them.
Great grandma taught me to look for a more soft and fluffy edge on the potato and if they fall off the fork when you stab a few and lift up 😉 so glad to see someone else make them the way great grandma used to😍 thank you so much for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving and God bless you
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks! My mom never cooked with me or taught me how to cook. Hoping your kids appreciate you!
I’ll tell you what I need a hillbilly kitchen restaurant right down the street because I would be there predominantly every day I love watching your recipes I love watching you cook I really really do just had to say that
This is the receipt I have used for 50 yearrs. At all family gatherings I am requested to make the mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes are the first empty bowl. My daughters and granddaughters keep trying to duplicate, but haven't got there yet. I told them again today the secret is cooking them till they are very tender and make sure you use lots of butter, You are an inspiration and breath of fresh air. Love your videos . Also, I could not agree more. Keep God First.
God bless you Sweet Becky... when I watch one of your programs it's like visiting a dear friend.. Thank you for the cooking tips. But most of all thank you for sharing your belief in God. 🙏🙏🙏
Your so right about there being people who weren’t taught to cook. I’m 37 and have been teaching myself to cook since I was 6 and I still have a lot to learn. I still haven’t learned how to make a turkey and stuff yet. Lol
I love watching your videos Becky! I wish I lived next door. You are touching so many lives with your kindness and love. Jesus is shining right through you! Now I’m dieing for some mashed potatoes and some of my grandma’s milk gravy with all the cracklings in it from the fried chicken. She’s long gone to Heaven with my mom and all my aunts and uncles. I bought your cookbook, how else can I help you. May the Lord bless your socks off. 🥰
Thank you for your kind words Amy, it means more to me than you will ever know. Thank you for buying my book, I hope you enjoy it and I appreciate your support. God bless you and your family!
Thank you for your Mashed Potato Recipe & step by step instructions. I appreciate you very much; especially your faith: putting God first! So very encouraging❣️
Thank you for being so thoughtful of those new cooks!
Thank you !!
Those look so good! My dad like mashed turnips in his potatoes, because that's what his mom did. I don't usually use a masher or beater. My favorite way is to use a potato ricer. Come out smooth n creamy every time!
🦃🍁Happy Thanksgiving Becky🦃🍁
Happy Thanksgiving Maureen!
My grandma had a bit cone shaped ricer that she usually pushed her tomatoes through when she canned tomato juice but for big meals she used it for mashed potatoes and they sure do come out smooth.
I love all these videos, thank you for taking the time and sharing the recipes!
Thank you for the great recipe!!! I'm so sorry about Brett! You and your family are in our prayers!
Hello!
I have been cooking today with your Chanel all day long .you’re such a wonderful woman of God !
God bless you! Happy thanksgiving!
I just got your cookbook in the mail yesterday! I thank you greatly for the "easy" recipes everyone else knows! I love your words of wisdom. God bless 🇺🇸❤️🙏🏻
I see how thick those peelings are and I would love to fry those up for my lil midnight snack! :)
What a great idea! I love potato skins...the best part, almost!!
We had mashed potatoes a lot in my family but no one knew how to make them as creamy.I really enjoy hearing you speak God's word on your program.👏❤️😊👍
My late mother used to cook 10 lbs of potatoes every Sunday and make them like yours except she added a heaping TBS of Blue Plate salad dressing. She is still talked about by everyone who ever ate them. They were delicious. God bless.
I can tell you are a good woman and also a good cook. I watch all your videos and made a few of them myself without any regrets. Thank you, Terry.....
I was blessed with someone giving me a 120 yr old potato ricer last year it’s my fave gadget but needs love and attention when cleaning xx
Thank you for your heart to teach my generation! God bless you!
I love teaching my daughter to cook. I need to do it more often.
Yummy!!!!! Mashed Potatoes and gravy is the best part of the meal, I think,
I remember my grandmother making mashed potatoes just like this in red level Florida. We would all gather and eat at Granny's house after church and she would make fried chicken and mashed potatoes , the best chicken
gravy, White acre peas, And homemade macaroni and cheese just for me. If blackberries were in season she would make a homemade BlackBerry pie. Thank-you-ma'am for what you do it's like coming home. Is God-bless you and your family.
Amen sister! Keep cooking yummy food for our bodies,,, but most of all, YOU KEEP FEEDING SOULS WITH THE WORD OF GOD ✝️❣May He bless & keep all of you🙏‼️
Yummy !!! You are my cooking teacher Becky , thank you for blessing me with your knowledge !!! 😊❤️👍
I appreciate how always give us scripture from KJV and uplifting words.
Thank you for watching. God bless you!
You are a treat to learn from! I knew my potatoes were good but, you can always learn something new and I did! Thank you!
Dear Becky, I so enjoy your videos. May you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving. Watching a sister in Christ is such a blessing.💗
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hello Becky here in Ireland we put scallions (baby onion) in our mash potatoes and in winter we mix cabbage with them, just love your video's and happy thanksgiving to you and your family
God bless
Patrick
That's sound really good. May have to try that sometime here in Virginia.
That sounds delicious. I like pretty much any variation on mashed potatoes!
I our chopped chives in mine. Smaller pieces seem more appropriate with the whipped potatoes.
I do cabbage too. I don't really like mashed potatoes per se, so I'm always doing stuff to make them ...different. My go to is cilantro (i.e. coriander) but then I put that on/in/with everything that I can justify.
My pastor's wife adds garlic. Her mashed potatoes are SUPER garlicky tho lol
Thank you for the word of wisdom after the presentation, God bless.
I'm not young but yes this helps. Thank you. We needed to hear this message.
Viewing this in June 2021, just a refresher for "mashies".
And learn to LISTEN.
LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS GOD LOVES US. Amen
Thank you for watching, God bless you!
I Love it! Your very kind caring and common.. no fancy unfamiliar talk or terms I know everyone is very comfortable with your videos! I was cook in resturant many years. But I learned some gre as t tops from this video! Thank you for your channel I. LOVE IT, Brenda
I’ve never had any complaints in 55 years and I make mine the very same way! Yummy! You can also put a tad of butter while boiling, it will never boil over. Great trick I heard about neons ago!
I do that, too, w the butter. Or, sometimes, a splash of olive oil. I like that flavor, too. It's fun to change it up, sometimes. I also like to use different kinds of salt, to play with the slightly different flavors they impart (e.g., Himalayan, black garlic, etc.)
What great words of wisdom..........Thank-you so very much!!!!!!
I was the original mashed potato kid...i loved them ate them all the time....
Hello Becky love your show and here you’re words you are a sweet person God bless you and your family
Thank you for kind words and bible verses! Happy Thanksgiving Becky 💖
Love your channel. When I make mashed potatoes and gravy, I do not pour away the water after potatoes have cooked. I save it to mix in the gravy. I've received many compliments on my gravy.
You are so right about Anger and family get together’s. Thank you and God bless you
I love your videos and thank you for sharing the gospel to others.
My mother and grandmothers were excellent cooks. I was bit of a tomboy and didn't want to learn. I regret it but have learned from my husband while in my 50s. I haven't perfected some things yet (mashed potatoes). Thank you.
A pleasure to watch you. A lot of wisdom in your words - the Word of God is very powerful- happy Thanksgiving Becky dear!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I just found your channel and I'm now a dedicated viewer. I love your recipes and your messages at the end of your videos. Thank you for your hard work.
