The French had many potatos they decided to give them to the U.S. They made a statue out of the potatos. There was a person eating a donut who walking by. A potato fell onto the donut and the person ate the donut. That is how the potato donut was born. Soon after, they said the potato statue was a health hazard so they took it down. No one spoke of the potato statue ever again.
Those bananas really did look gnarly. They started putting potatoes in doughnuts to retaliate against what would in the future be called the keto diet.
They started put potatoes in donuts after a mistake granny Hannibal made when she was trying to grind a foot to put in her dough. She was drunk and reached into her potato barrel instead of her foot barrel, honest mistake really. But the children of the village really loved it so it became tradition. Next year she did add the foot but they didnt know that
McCall's used to do a magazine like Better Homes and Gardens. This was a collection of all the recipes featured in their magazine. My mom and grandma each had this collection. There was a reason I didn't let my mom teach me to cook!!! I remember looking through this and laughing at some of the odd combinations.
I say that about mushrooms and seafood because mushrooms look like weird fungusy toadstools and seafood looks like weird crusty sea spiders with sweet FA to even eat on them. God put them all the way under the sea so nobody would ever find the weird creepy ugly things.
I hate to tell you this guy's, but the Potato Famine happened when potato blight hit the potato crops in Ireland causing them to rot in the ground. Thousands if not millions of people starved to death. Likely potato donuts came out of the Great Depression in the US when potatoes were frequently all people had to eat.
The reason they’re potato donuts are actually at the famous thanksgiving trifle episode of friends. An Italian immigrant woman was making a brioche bread and the recipe got stuck to her grandmothers recipe for gnocchi. Then confused the baking with cannoli and fried it. That’s the original story!
I have this exact box. As my mom had in 70s, yes, she cooked from these and wrote on cards if good and the date! I rem6so many of those cards you held up, its scary. I'm a 267 baby and lived to tell about it!! Lol!!!!!
That set of recipes were part of a type of subscription, if my memory serves me right. It was a monthly subscription from McCall’s, which was a woman’s magazine, for a set of recipe cards. When subscribed for a year, I think the recipe box was “free” or was a “gift” for subscribing. The magazine used to have little cards in the middle of the magazine to send your information, via regular mail prepaid postage, to the magazine to subscribe to the recipe card club and you were usually locked in for a year or more. They also would send promotions through the mail trying to get subscriptions and they’d send a set of cards to entice you. I just recently threw a set of those cards away.
this was a blast from the past! These are recipes I grew up with. My grandmother used to take frozen mixed veggies (lima beans, green beans, corn, carrot squares and potato squares), put a layer on a saucer, and cover it with lemon jello. This made an individual serving, and she called it the 'salad course'. It was pretty gross. But I grew up with a LOT of jello in various forms.
My hubby has an apron with “cake or death”... we both love that comedian! When JJR said he didn’t like olives my husband overheard and came over to watch the episode. He saw the shirt and said he liked JJR! 😂 I made a subscriber out of him! Yay!!!
I have that. I also have a 1952 Betty Crocker cookbook and a 1950 Better Homes & Garden cookbook because that's what my mom had, so what I grew up with
I remember that recipe box ! My Mom had it lol tfs the blast from the past. Using mashed potatoes in breads and donuts makes them not only delicious, but moist. I make potato bread and its so delicious, especially toasted. I love olives, hate raisins. Yes, the 70s ( I was a teen then) were a strange time for everything. tfs 🎃🍃🍂🍁🌞🌵🍁🍂🍃🎃🍃🍂🍁🌞🌵🍁🍂🍃🎃🍃🍂🍁🌞🌵🍁🍂🍃🎃🍃🍂🍁🌞🌵🍁🍂🍃
OMG! Funniest episode ever!! From JJR calling olives "the devil" to the noises Brandon made with eyes on the donuts, I've never laughed so hard. 🤣😂 Keep it up! Loved it! ❤🧡🖤
Im so glad to find your channel cause i have found you in Man About Cake and i was sad that it was finished then i heard of this and now i get to watch you again :)
So I don't usually comment on videos, but the great potato Famine is when there was a shortage of potatoes because of a potato disease, and people starved and died because of it. Not the opposite
The origin of potato donut was on a small farm in Peru. The Peruvian farmers had a surplus of potatoes and a shortage of flour so they used potato flour in the donuts. The recipe made its way up the Pacific coast changing as it went until it reached the United States where mashed potatoes were a staple. And that is the story of the potato donut.
Ms. Ermintrude (yes that's her real name, thank you very much!) was about to make a batch of doughnuts for the diner, and dangit all, she ran out of flour, because Mayleen used the last of it in the breakfast biscuits! So, what was Ms. Ermintrude to do? She realized that there were a couple boiled potatoes, extras from the mashed potatoes made earlier, and she got to thinking, "Hm, maybe I can use these boiled spuds to make up for the lack of flour!" One innovative idea later, and boom! Potato doughnuts were born! They were a huge hit at Ms. Ermintrude's Diner. Her kids took the recipe, renamed the diner eventually after she passed (RIP Ms. Ermintrude) and thus the potato doughnut became A Thing! The end.
Hi JJR, just had to write to say that my 7yo woke up cackling her head off because she JUST got the pun in the title of this show. 😂 you’re like my kids favorite person right now; we live in the Canadian Arctic, and watching and making cakes is bringing us lots of joy!
Omg I have this box. It’s avocado green and I’ve saved it for years. I’m going to have to cook things out of it. I do bake the almond puff from here regularly. 😊
🎃🎃🍩Once upon a time a man named Brandon Cox decided to time travel to meet his great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandmother's aunt, Belinda. Brandon's great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandmother's aunt Belinda had decided to make doughnuts that day and asked Brandon to fetch her recipe. Brandon being the Brandon he is decided to add potatoes to the recipe, all in the great scheme of one day making JJR make them. Belinda didn't seem to notice the change in the recipe and went on to make potato doughnuts. Soon Belinda started selling the doughnuts and they took off like crazy. Brandon decided his work was done and time traveled again, to make a recipe box, containing the very recipe for Brandon's great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandmother's aunt's potato doughnut recipe, and being the mastermind he is sent a link of it to JJR knowing that he would buy it. And so here we are today with JJR and his potato doughnuts. No lies here, just stone cold facts.
My in-laws come straight from the bowels of hell. I provide a large portion of the dishes when the family has any kind of get together. I’m ordering that recipe box, I’m serving those bananas for sure. Thanks for the lead!
Oh Josh, please do another cake from the box! I HAVE this box but the Australian version with Woman's Weekly! I sometimes decorate my house with the pictures when I'm having a retro styled party :)
They use potatoes because the other ingredients were actually from some aliens who promised to come back with the right stuff. However, it took them a few years so we had to find a replacement for the delicious food. Potatoes work with everything, why not doughnuts? Lol
Love watching you! Always entertaining...even if I don't make the recipes. Lol. I'm a retired cake decorator and I learned so much from watching your old channel. I continue watching because you always make me laugh!
@@pattyjo818 the donut chain Tim Hortons really popularized it 🤣 describe anything to a Canadian by saying "it's like a Timbit" and they'll know what you're talking about 🤣
4:30 you did the right thing by not peeling them. Peeling potatoes before you boil them allows them to absorb too much water. It's ok if you're just using them for mashed potatoes but not where you need the water content to be lower for recipes such as gnocchi or your donut recipe 😊👍
Oooo SpudNuts! Loved these as a child but haven t had since then. As for the way cakes and things were decorated, many of these from the 50's, 60's and 70's were done by "home cooks" not professionals. Unfortunately a lot of your cakes would look similar if made by the average person, that's why we need talented people like you.
The Amish make potato donuts and they are great. They also put them in their whole wheat bread too. If is frugal and keeps the baked goods moist longer.
I recently discovered your other channel and followed you here. Your videos are awesome!! they are "bite-size" and just perfect for binge-watching. Since you are doing such unique recipes, I'd love it if you could tackle something Paleo-inspired. Thanks
I think those bananas are PERFECT for Halloween... maybe a themed party where everyone has to bring a really gross dish and then you put them in a circle and play spin the bottle but where the bottle lands is the food you have to eat.. revolting food edition... sounds scary to me lol
My mom and I had a box of recipes like that! Used to get them mailed to you like every month. There is a place in Ohio called Spudnuts. They make their donuts with potato flour. OMG they are so light and delicious. Not like the regular ones that you eat one and you regret it, ahaha. They didn't want to waste leftovers, so with a flour shortage, they had to add some tators, ahaha. OMG I'm laughing so hard you guys are cracking me up!
a grandma at thanksgiving was in charge of the mashed potatoes so there were way too many leftover so they just stuck some extra in donut dough so she would not feel bad and notice how much extra potatoes were left uneaten
Eeeeewwwwwweeeeeeeeeee! Silly JJR THE 70'S WERE BAD FOR EVERYONE😲😭😓! Donuts look yummy and so funny 🤣. Love it and can not wait to see zombie Halloween episode.
My mother had a box (which I now have) with recipes in it too. But her's came in a metal box. (BTW, my granddaughter helped me find it yesterday. Going to search through it to see what I find!)
Potatoes were used in donuts because they were always available, were very inexpensive & would help save your flour stock. It was then discovered that Potatoes are lighter & produce a better product than using all purpose flour. One of the amazing things about Potatoes is they're pretty flavorless & absorb flavor very well so they work in both savory & sweet recipes.

Yeah that statue that was a gift from Santa that year that 95% of American kids were nice

Ha Ha!!
Hey keto cured my fatty liver and pre diabetes thanks to my hepatologist advice so don’t knock it. 🙂
Brandon: “it tastes like bad breath”
Lmao I love them so much 😂💗

"mom I want donuts for dinner!"
*adds potatoes*
I never imagined that there will be a reason to not like JRR but olives *dramatic gasp* I LOVE OLIVES
I'm allergic....well....that's what I tell people! LOL
Allergic -that's what I tell people about white chocolate, really I just hate it
I say that about mushrooms and seafood because mushrooms look like weird fungusy toadstools and seafood looks like weird crusty sea spiders with sweet FA to even eat on them.
God put them all the way under the sea so nobody would ever find the weird creepy ugly things.
I'm loving this new channel. I like the Halloween opening with all the costumes. AWESOME (700 exclamation points)
Thank you !!!

Also where potato candy came from
Yeah and colonizer England caused it on purpose.
True fact.
Wrong answers only tho 🙃
"I'm going to use the tools God gave me... 1.... 2..." and then immediately we see the potato smasher XD
Lol. guilty!

Maybe the bananas were supposed to be plantains. And someone just messed that up when writing the recipe. I love old cookbooks!
I have this exact box. As my mom had in 70s, yes, she cooked from these and wrote on cards if good and the date! I rem6so many of those cards you held up, its scary. I'm a 267 baby and lived to tell about it!! Lol!!!!!
The creepy sad music during the ham banana bit was awesome
You should keep that “game” for future episodes! So funny and interesting to see the weird things people used to eat!

It’s so awesome to see JJR bake stuff other than cakes, keep it up!
Thank you!! Some people do not like it but I wanna show other things. Thanks for the feedback!

Yikes!!! But I kind of want to taste it!

My grandma still makes prune whip and it’s one of my dads favs! She also used to add bananas to coleslaw!
No!!!!!
My mom still makes "coleslaw gelatin aspic salad " with olives!
JJR and crew, you make me so happy!
I’m going to follow this recipe to the tea (adds two ingredients 😂)
Sorry. I can’t help myself!!
oh oh nice retro recipes are SO COOL!

My mum had a betty crocker book that had a recipe for croissants that required potatoes. I tried it and they came out good each time.
Im so glad to find your channel cause i have found you in Man About Cake and i was sad that it was finished then i heard of this and now i get to watch you again :)
Thanks for coming over!!!

Omg, the head chef at my school just made these, and they are SOOOO goooooddd
LOL. My Mom had that same recipe box!!! I grew up in the 70s and 80s!
"No way!!!.....Okay, I'll do it". LOL. Boys.
Yep, my grandmas had those recipe boxes or something very similar.

I miss that set of recipe cards so much! Actually tearing up from nostalgia (and a little bit from the mockery).
Thank you-
You made me hungry

Haha I actually had that! Every month you would get a new pack of recipes.
Love watching you! Always entertaining...even if I don't make the recipes. Lol. I'm a retired cake decorator and I learned so much from watching your old channel. I continue watching because you always make me laugh!
Wow!!
My mom used to save the water from peeled, boiled potatoes to make bread the next day. It was so light and had the finest moistest crumb! Yeow! 😻
I was laughing so hard when you started to eat that ham-banana concoction!! Hilarious! 😆
Super fun video...Mom used potatoes in dessert recipes as a filler and to make things more dense..Thx for the fun video🤓
Love it! So funny!
I was today years old when I realized why they call then “donut holes” 🤯
In Canada they're just known as Timbits 🤣
@@whatnowlisa that is wild😂
@@pattyjo818 the donut chain Tim Hortons really popularized it 🤣 describe anything to a Canadian by saying "it's like a Timbit" and they'll know what you're talking about 🤣
I am so here for JJR's sarcasm in this episode!
I have those! They were a category a month for small $$. Crazy recipes in that.
My mum has that and now it sits proudly in my kitchen. Xx

The Amish make potato donuts and they are great. They also put them in their whole wheat bread too. If is frugal and keeps the baked goods moist longer.
I grew up in a small town too, ours was called The Spudnut Shop! My most favorite donuts in the world!
OMG my mom gave me hers several years ago.....love you mom but we have this thing now called the internet.
Why potatoes in doughnuts? Because rutabagas didn't work.
Loving the Eddie izzard cake or death tee. Love that comedy routine so much "cake please!"
Love from Kenya JJR. You are F.A.B.U.L O.U S

That has got to be the most efficient way of peeling bananas I've ever seen.
Lol. People keep commenting about this. I have always twisted bananas to open them. Not sure why, but it works really well!!!

That’s Tater Tot! She is always trying to get on camera!
Maybe that was the favorite veggie of the owner of the donut place.😁
You should find a recipe for potato candy. It is an old fashion recipe. It is sweet and delicious.
