I'm English. Live in England. Will I ever make thanksgiving dinner? No. Did I watch this video till the end? Yes! Will I be using the potato hack every Sunday for Sunday lunch? Yes! Another brilliant video of Rachel being unapologetically herself!
When my mom makes mashed potatoes, she always added instant to the water after the potatoes were boiled because she would say after you boil the potatoes, the vitamins are all in the water and she didn't want to lose the vitamins.
This might just be a poor people "hack" but my ma has never believed in putting leftovers in containers, instead everything gets put in a storage bag. How much is left is what determines bag size and the bags barely take up room in fridge. Its tacky but genius at the same time! 🤣🤣👍🏻
I had to ask chatgpt about the mashed potatoes in the foil lined cooler bc I also don't understand why it didn't work bc it makes so much sense in theory. Here is what it had to say: 'The mashed potatoes on the counter may feel warmer because they are in direct contact with ambient air that slows down heat loss, whereas the cooler, once sealed, keeps the food isolated and retains its internal conditions, which could end up cooler than the room.' Idk if I agree but I guess it still makes sense
Tell me you’ve never cooked butternut squash without telling me you’ve never cooked butternut squash. Lol maybe some people cut it that way, but I’ve always cut the top and bottom off. Then you slice it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the innards. And then roast the two halves.
Rachel intentionally messing up her potatoes was even more butternut-s (squash) than simply rolling her butternut squash around to cut it instead of cutting it forcefully with a knife (or whatever was invasively in her fridge).
These are all actually great hacks! I’m also very confused by the potatoes not in the cooler being warmer because in theory that definitely should have worked.

“Stay Awesome Possums” love it!!!!
There’s a throwback
Poking fingers in the mashed potatoes... genius temperature testing 😂
Your stone counter helped keep the other potatoes warmer. The tin foil/cooler was probably soaking in more of the heat.

Okay these cooking hacks are so good and I'm definitely gonna use them Thursday. Thanks for coming in clutch Rachel 🙌🏻

I’m not out here washing my chicken… but for the love of all that’s holy, wash your potatoes!!! 😂😂
I sliced my thumb and nail twice peeling potatoes last week. They are slippery little boogers. How did I not think of jabbing a fork in them?! Genius

The fact everyone is not using plates on top of bowls to stack things has just blown my mind 🤣
You didn't test both potatos before you put one in the cooler.

Cooling racks, cutting boards, plates all good options
I loved all of these hacks. Thanks for the awesome video Rachel. I love all of your videos and vlogs. 🥰
@Rachel you might like watching the video Abby Cox made about the history of Thanksgiving 🦃 it learned me that what I thought was wrong 😅
The tiny chopping board was stressing me out! These are some good hacks though!
Omg i need this video I’m making thanksgiving myself this year for the first time 😅
Also if u add to much milk to Ur mash just put it back on the stove for a min and mix it it will thicken up too
Gorgeous Rachel I love you!
Happy thanksgiving week Rachel I love you you’re my favorite ballinger🤩🤩🤩
Hiiii Rachel you’d amazing I loove these vids
Your mash potatoes look delicious and they are making me hungry. Have a good thanksgiving! ❤❤
I got a kick out of you putting your fingers in the mashed potatoes to check the temps! Idk if it's cuz I'm ADHD too or what but thank you
Those are the very best instant mashed potatoes

STAY AWESOME POSSUMS! 🎉

Why when you were making the mash the shadow of tge tripod looked like the kfc bow tie 😂
STAY AWESOME POSSUMS
I like the potatoe hack is a great idea. I wonder if it will work with apples 🍎🍏
The peeling hack is also safer for kids👍
lol where was this video when I made butternut squash soup a couple weeks ago!!! lol
Who loves Thanksgiving
Why do you have a plant in your fridge?
Couldn't you put those disposable hand warmers under foil?
You didn’t check the temperature of both of those containers of potatoes when you started you only tested one of them
Happy Thanksgiving Rachel Ballinger
Happy Thanksgiving!
