    I scrub my potatoes, poke a couple of holes in them with a fork, rub with olive oil and put them in my instapot on a trivet after I added my cup of water to my IP. I cook on high pressure for 30 min. They come out fluffy on the inside with soft skins. I can cook one or a whole pot this way. Even sweet potatoes ( 25 min cook time) My husband loves them this way.

    Is cane sugar better than white sugar?
    Cane sugar is the type made from sugarcane. The sucrose molecules in both types of sugar are identical, so scientifically there isn't much difference. Like all types of added sugars, cane sugar is usually linked with negative health effects like weight gain, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.

    After washing my potatoes, I dry them and coat them with olive oil. Then I bake them as usual. My family loves them! I also scrub them and rub with oil and put them in my crock pot for an afternoon. I put just a bit of water in the bottom so my crock won't be dry. This is my favorite, no fuss way to do it.😅

    A way I’ve found that makes amazing baked potatoes, wash them, coat them in olive oil with salt and pepper. Give it a couple stabs and bake till done.

    I WISH I could afford (and had room to store) a 1/4 beef... the only places I've been able to find that do it in Texas charge triple what I can get beef for in the grocery store... I know that it's better quality than what I get on sale but I just can't justify the price difference... with as much as I've heard people talk about it I thought it would be so much more affordable. Maybe it's just in Texas but man... we're talking $10-15/lb... 😲🤯🤯

      @AdalineZook that gives me hope... I'll have to keep searching to see if I can find some more affordable options (I just did a cursory search and looked at the first ones that popped up on Google) We have a friend who said they would share it with us... and offered to allow us to store meat in their deep freeze, so I really would prefer to go that route if we can do it affordably. ❤️

    You're absolutely right Adeline about the shepherds pie v cottage pie. Shepherds pie was originally made the day after having an oven roasted lamb leg roast. Farmers wives would mince the leftover lamb roast meat and put it through the meat grinder and maybe with any veges leftover would mix it together with any leftover gravy from the drippings, and then top it with mashed potatoes and bake in the oven. No cheese was involved, and certainly no ground beef. We had this on a weekly basis usually on a Monday or Tuesday as a kid as we lived a farming life and mum always did a roast mutton/lamb on a Sunday, as it cooked slowly while we were at church. Later on as people on tien wanted to make a similar thing, ground beef was used, but because it was beef it was called shepherds pie, as shepherds look after sheep not cows, so it was named, and still should be, Cottage pie....and more often than not also includes cheese on top. I'm from New Zealand....and as I said we had it very regularly as kids....and I've also made it most of my life, doing the same thing....btw, I wash and stab my potatoes and just pop them in the oven, on the rack, no tinfoil. I love the crunchy crispy jacket, but my son hated this part, so we just washed a stabbed them well and popped them in the microwave instead, for around 5 mins to start with then added extra minutes as needed. This way the skins stay soft. Hope that helps ❤❤

    In Australia sheperds pie was made from left over cooked meat, including beef and lamb the meat would shredded mixed with onions, worstershire sauce and other condiments, salt, pepper and some liquid.
    It was then heated and topped with mash potatoes etc.
    I make a vegetarian version and still call it shepherds pie, so i dont think it matters 😊

    I really enjoy learning from you! For the potatoes..I use my air fryer. They come out amazing and I get great feedback when I bring them to gatherings. After cleaning them, I coat them in olive oil salt pepper and garlic powder and set them at 350 degrees for about 20 min. It takes some figuring but the skin get a nice crispy texture and the potatoes are creamy on the inside 😋

    If you have an Instant pot, baked potatoes are so easy and delicious in there. One cup of water in the bottom, then a trivet, place the potatoes on top of the trivet. High pressure for 12 mins, natural pressure release for 12 mins, the. Quick release the rest. The skins and potatoes are so tender!

Can you tell me about those please. I've seen wooden lids for mason jars, but I've never seen lids for the type of jars you are using and I've never seen the little round knobs on the top. Do they have like a silicone edge to keep whatever's in the jar fresh (are they airtight?). Thank you again for making these interesting and fun to watch videos❣️

    I make baked potatoes in the instant pot. Wash the potatoes and poke them with a fork every few inches. Put the rack into the instant pot and pour some water to almost reach the rack. Place potatoes on rack and pressure cook for 23 minutes for medium potatoes. And I usually do a quick release. You can then rub them with olive oil and coarse salt and broil in oven yet, but we just add the butter, salt and black pepper at the table.

    I like that the two times I’ve seen you do a shepherd’s pie, it hasn’t been the same exact thing. This one you used mushrooms and last time you used sweet potatoes. Mix it up is my favorite way to do cooking.

    I would try to bake the potatoes in a ,,römertopf‘‘ ( Roman pot) . I don’t know if it’s popular in the US , but it was in the 70/80‘s here in Europe. A Clay pot that is soaked with water, put the food in it and the lid upon and stick to the oven. Some people like that especially especially for making chicken. Because the food is cooking in its own moist and flavor. Didn’t try it , but I think it would be good for that potatoes.
