TY sweet Dimitroula mou! I'll be prepping these to freeze them My late Yiayia's late cousin Thia Thekla (God rest their souls) came from Smyrni and escaped to Lesvos,, Mytilene as Greek refugees from Turkey. My Thia Thekla used to make these my Thia Thekla is a Pontisa decent too with the Pontian llast name Ioakimidis
Dimitria, I married Russian and Im from Karpathos and missed my moms and sisters cooking for years... now with your channel Im able to share these great meals that I loved growing up with...with now my kids too. You know its good when kids are loving it!! I recommend you to everyone!! Μπράβο! και σ’ ευχαριστώ!
Dearest Dimitra...I love everything you cook❤...so simple yet so delicious .....I have learned so much from your channel....thank you for being here....GOD bless and good health❤💐❤
I boil my potatoes with extra salt in the water. One shouldn't need to add much salt to the mashing. I boil with skins on for more flavor (the potato ricer will separate the skins from the potatoes-just scoop out the skins between each pressing). I mix the potatoes in the same pan I boil them in over the lowest heat while adding the hot milk and soft butter to make sure my mashed potatoes are really hot. Nothing more disappointing than cooled down mashed potatoes. My mashed are on the thin/very moist side. I do not add the garlic because there is a subtle nuance of the earthy potato cooked with the skin and the unsalted butter........mmmmmmmmm Thank you Dimitra....I baked your Spanikopita with the ruffled top for a Sunday get together for about 35 people. They were so impressed.......and I didn't even have to pre cook the spinach, which was grown in our garden......your recipe was Angel sent.
A Danish wire/dough whisk would make easy work of getting the mixture evenly mixed. You could use both sizes, with all the mixing you do. Seriously, I’m giving one to all family members, is a lifesaver at times. Love your videos & recipes. Would love to make this for adult grandsons- were horrified when I made hamburger mix into hot dog shape to fit the buns I had on hand. 😅
I always cook some garlic cloves with the potatoes when i'm making mashed potatoes Then mash it all together. You'll get a subtle garlic flavour to your mashed potatoes, which is divine! :)
Dear Dimitri Love your recipes and your easygoing presentation. Send them to my daughter as well. Have made quite a few and will definitely make this dish. You sound like a great mom !
Dimitra's Dishes, “Efcharistisi mou”! You are just as lovely as Laura! But equally important, both of you literally “dish” out recipes that work and are delicious to eat!
OM GOODNESS!! PLEASE invite me over for dinner or ANYTIME you make this!! I live alone and that amount would feed me for several days because I'd eat it morning, noon and for supper! (Can I come over, Please?!?) LOL All kidding aside, that looks simply scrumptious!! I wish I had your address to send you a reliable spatula to get ALL of the ingredients out of the food processor and blender. I would almost lick them clean!! Hahaha!!( JK, of course, but the ingredients all look so enticing. Thank you for the video. Perhaps one day I'll be able to make that for myself and have plenty for leftovers. God Bless.
sorry to interject :) she doesn't put cinnamon in so instead of that she uses cumin..so it's kinda like a replacement. I would use one or the other, both might be overpowering, but Chef Dimitra i'm sure will give you her tips :) (hope you don't mind my comment, just saw this and thought i'd give my 2 cents worth lol)
Looks good enough to eat just how are used to do it when I was in Greece I said are used to put a little bit of diesel in mine make the meat and definitely cinnamon your babies don’t know what they’re missing
Hi Dimitra, I would like to try this recipe the traditional way with the cinnamon. I don't care for cumin and I think the cinnamon sounds good. I just don't know how much I'm supposed to use. Will you please tell me the amount I'm supposed to use for the meat and the sauce? I love your recipes btw.
Hello Demitra! Kali Sarakosti! When you freeze them raw, do they seem “watery” or loose when thawed, right before you cook them? (Same for keftethakia?)
Yes. This i made this yeaterday with your oven roasted potatoes in sauce. I think maybe I make for our guess in Sept. Was going to make the lamb shanks. . . But my cousin bringing his girlfriend over and she isnt Greek..lol and I am serving shanks..lol.. oh well..maybe she'll like tge salata...or even lamb
Lol. Im with the kids. Cinnamon belongs in sweet treats! Its oblivious that Ive been watching too many (not really) of your videos. I freaked out when I saw you frying on the stove and not in the oven. Mashed or twice baked potatoes is my most missed food on keto. Especially with garlic.
I am like your kids: I don't like cinnamon. Cinnamon is the only spice I dislike. I don't use cinnamon. Not even in desserts. I love cumin. I put a lot of cumin in many dishes. 🤎
My above post sounded rude so much apologies for that, btw am making the soutzukakia tomorrow for my brother who is coming to lunch, he's in for a treat.😋
I'm like your kids; I can't eat anything savory with cinnamon or nutmeg. Can't put nutmeg in a cream sauce or in spinach or nutmeg in moussaka or pastitio.
I can only tolerate a pinch of nutmeg and don't like it at all in sweet dishes. Cinnamon on the other hand, bring it :) lol! Thanks so much for being here today!
I love Greek foods 🔥💯🥰😍
I am first generation Greek/American, and when it comes to Greek cuisine, OPA!!!

The best part of this channel is it’s stealth halal which is hard to find for Greek recipes 🤩🤩
OMGoodness - that looks DELICIOUS!

Yummy. Going to make them
Nice and tasty!!!
Excellent recipe and I love that roasted puréed garlic. Definitely going to try that one.

Delicious recipe, thank you!!!
Excellent! When boiling potatoes for mashed, add a couple of whole cloves of garlic. After ricing potatoes , briskly whisk for extra creamy mashed .
Looks delicious
Thank you for these recipes,looks delicious! Enjoy your olive oil from Crete,you are so lucky your Dad sends it to you.💕
What is your problem Edna? My comment was meant for Dimitra
@Edna Turner not from your Father's Olive Orchard
@Edna Turner What a terrible personality, what are you even doing here in the comments section?
This looks delicious! Also, I LOVE potato ricers. I never make mashed potatoes without one.
Oh my gosh! Your recipes look so amazing. Going to try this one for sure.
Wow you are amazing!! Thank you .👏👏💕

Hi Dimitra
Thanks for this nice recipes
Very nice
Greetings from melb Australia
Betty 🇬🇷🇦🇺🙏🙏🙏
Love the mashed up potatoes. I always add a little bit of sugar as well to my mashed potatoes. Learned from someone and they taste a lot better.
Wow, Girl I swear I can smell that through this phone and it smells sooo good! That reminds me of breakfast sausage links!
Reminds me more of like Persian lule(lula) kebab
Just delicious looking like all of your dishes are! 😊👍😋
Thanks so much!!! 🥰
I love your videos... there one thing I never see you use is A Spatula...once you use it you will be hooked. Its so much easier than a spoon :)
Looks wonderful.
You are so greek I respect you
I am making this . Looks delicious 😋
Amazing recipe as usual.Thanks againe

Poli orea sintagi!
She is so good……………….
I also use red peppers or paprika
I love the salt jar…….
I am from Athens Greece and my great grandrents were from Smyrna, the traditional recipe has no parsley or onion in it..
The ingredients used are only lots of garlic, cumin, salt and pepper nothing more..
I can’t wait to make these. Do you use the cumin along with or instead of the cinnamon?
sorry to interject :) she doesn't put cinnamon in so instead of that she uses cumin..so it's kinda like a replacement. I would use one or the other, both might be overpowering, but Chef Dimitra i'm sure will give you her tips :) (hope you don't mind my comment, just saw this and thought i'd give my 2 cents worth lol)
@@katerinamafiosa do you know if the measurements are the same? I'm thinking of trying it with cinnamon because I don't care for cumin.
@@cammiemcclure2178 yes they are hun I use cinnamon no cumin
@@katerinamafiosa thank you so much. I'm glad to hear someone else is using cinnamon!
@@cammiemcclure2178 it's so much better

Good luck!!
@@katerinamafiosa they just met not sure they r on that level yet. Lol
@@vyvoomvoom9641 oh whoopsies!! Lol
@@katerinamafiosa ya never know. Both divorced and have kids. She is Lebanese, so shanks are cool to serve..lol

I can’t find your store were I ordered your Greek evoo
Does the milk make the meat mushy?
No coriander or all spice?
I love my cinnamon 💓
Bravosou!
I am like your kids: I don't like cinnamon. Cinnamon is the only spice I dislike. I don't use cinnamon. Not even in desserts. I love cumin. I put a lot of cumin in many dishes. 🤎
You forgot to link the potato ricer...
While I love your soutzukakia recipe the mash looked like mush. I'm guessing we eat it differently in th uk as opposed to Europe
My above post sounded rude so much apologies for that, btw am making the soutzukakia tomorrow for my brother who is coming to lunch, he's in for a treat.😋
I do not have the food processor
You can finely chop everything using a sharp knife :)
Listen to your kids, Dimitra!
lol
Cinnamon belongs on rice pudding, not in savory dishes.
what?!!? NOOOOOOOOOOOO lol..it's so good that's almost as debatable as to where Baklava came from haha
It’s used in a lot of cuisines all over the world. Definitely adds a richness of flavor.
