I don't know how I missed this video. Of course, Charles made so many...I'm sure there are many others I have not viewed.
Never in a million years would I have thought to slightly mash those potatoes while frying. I have to try that. And I do like potatoes with the skins on. Great idea. Jesus bless.
This video you add how to make TATER TOTS STEP BY STEP awesome, I like it thumbs up

That smile of yours right before you eat the potato made me smile because you clearly know how jealous you are going to make us. Again appreciate the videos, sir. Thank you.
Hello LBTF and welcome to my videos. Thank you for your kind words. I like to grow vegetables and of course I like to eat them.

Now that's a great idea for the tiny ones! I grew potatoes for the first time this year. They did pretty good but based on what I paid for seed potatoes from Baker Creek I just broke even. The advantage was I knew I had good, healthy, chemical free taders! I roasted most of my little ones in the oven. Washed them really good then rubbed them down with oil, seasoning salt, pepper, garlic, dried parsley and parmesan cheese. My family went crazy. We made them when my daughter came from PA to help me with my knee and even my picky eater grandson loved them!! He was cute as pie watching him pop them in his mouth with his little hands and say, "mmmm good job Nan!" LOL 😂 Tickled me to pieces. Thank you soooo much for another great video. You're simply the best.
UPDATE:
I still haven't got to use my comfrey for my leg. That little part of my incision we spoke about still hasn't closed. In fact they had me come into the office yesterday to look at it and put steri-strips on to close it. It's still clean and looks good my doc said so no worries. Maybe by the end of the week he said it should be completely closed and I can FINALLY use it. I can't wait!
Lots of love and hugs to you and your Mrs! ~Lisa
Lisa, you are so right about when we grow our own potatoes or other vegetables we know what chemicals we didn't put on them. I am happy that your incision is healing even if slow. Did you tell your doctor that you were going to apply comfrey to it? Thanks for commenting on this video.

Fried potatoes are my favorite..but never would havd tnought to fry them...mine always went into a pog of fresh green beans! As always you make me hungry.You do a beatful job on any thing you cook...and your gardening skills blow me away...Cindy
Thanks Cindy! I sometimes cook small potatoes with green beans. Thanks for commenting.

I love growing potatoes and my kids love digging them out when they're ready! This year I didn't have great success but we did get a few good ones (enough to call it a harvest anyways). They taste SO MUCH better than store bought potatoes! Very sweet, simply no comparison! Great video my friend!
Hello and welcome to my channel. I invite you to subscribe and watch as the summer growing season continues. And you are right, fresh dug potatoes have a much better taste than store bought ones. I agree, when digging potatoes you never know what you will get until you dig them out. Thanks for commenting on this video.

Thanks for the tips on how to fertilise the potatoes. I'll add it to my journal and make sure I get stocked up for next year. As for those baby potatoes, I like to make potato salad or put them in my beef and chicken stews. Many blessings!
Hi Sylvia, and welcome to my channel. Yes, the baby potatoes have many differs ways to be used. Thank you for commenting on this video.
OAG
Wow! From start to finish 😊 Very nice! I actually like the smaller potato better... I always pick the smallest ones at the market :)
Hello Shasha and welcome to my channel. I invite you to subscribe and watch as the summer growing season progresses and goes into my fall garden.

I have the same situation, trying to garden, make raw clips of what I am doing and then get it into my computer to edit and upload. So, if you don't feel you want to comment, that is okay, I do appreciate you subscribing and watching my channel. I like to know where my UA-cam friends are located, so where do you live?

in one video you covered one row with compost and one with leaf mulch. How did those compare. also, how come this world is not filled with people like you? I beleive He musta broke the mold. Bless you Sir
Hello Cambria399 and welcome to my channel. The row covered with leaf mulch didn't make as many potatoes as did the other row. It was an experiment that helped me do better the next time. _*I will be a guest on Two family Homestead (Live show) on 18 Sep, at 9pm EST (next Monday night), love to see you there*_. ua-cam.com/channels/1JhWUvQlBEK5N5Kj5yn4EQ.html

If you would like to discuss why the world is filled with not so good people, I am happy to discuss with you what the bible says about it. Send me an E-mail at: chancock39@gmail.com if you would like to discuss how it is spelled out in the bible. Looking forward to hearing from you.
OAG
I'm in New Zealand so we are just approaching our spring. I have prepared two long raised beds for my first serious try at spuds. I have just enough seasoned compost to do one or two rows. Because of you at least those ones will have a good chance. Will do my best to attend that program. Sincerely, Wayne
Thank you Wayne. As to the world of not so good people, the bible says that Satan is ruling the world right now. So, if Satan is the ruler of the world, then it makes sense that the world would be filled with bad people. What do you think of that statement?
OAG
Those sure do look yummy. I always just put the little potatoes in a pot of green beans.Thanks for the new idea. I'll have to give it a try.
Hi Brenda, Yes, I do that also and with green beans and potatoes, I always want a wedge of cornbread. Thanks for commenting on this video.
OAG
Looks yummy!
Hi Crystal and welcome to my channel. I invite you to subscribe and watch as the summer growing season progresses. Yes, they are very good. Thank you for commenting on this video. Arigato!
OAG
I'm going to try that..be in touch soon..
Okay. Looking forward to it.
That looks good
Tastes good too.
Thank you for your videos. I’m a city gardener, but aspire to retire(that rhymes!) in the country. I’ve planted some fingerling potatoes in a big pot. Can’t wait to see how they fare.
Good for you. Gardening even in containers is worthwhile.
OAG
We use the little ones the size of pearl onions for soups over the winter. Tater tots just gave me another use for them. Thanks.
Hello AON and welcome to my channel. I invite you to subscribe and watch as the summer growing season progresses. I also use them in soups and stews. I love growing potatoes. Thanks for commenting on this.

Thanks OAG. Long time subscriber; wife enjoyed your talks at the homesteading conference.
Nice
Thanks
Your potatoes looked great in the ground and in the pan!!!
Hi Sandy, potatoes are one of the easiest vegetables to grow. Thank you for watching my videos.
OAG
Great video! And what a great little machine! Takes a load off your back, that's for sure.
Hello Cassie and welcome to my channel. Are you a gardener? At my age (78 years old) I have to have the machine, tractor, to help with my gardening. I invite you to subscribe and watch as I upload more videos during the summer and fall growing seasons. Thanks for commenting on this video.
OAG
Thanks! I did subscribe, cannot wait to see more videos.
I started gardening last year, so still have a lot to learn! My grandparents run a greenhouse, and I help out in the busy months, and I've learned a lot thru that!
Have a great day!
Cassie, I am always happy to know about where my UA-cam friends are located, so, about where is your grandparents greenhouse located?
OAG
I'm from PA. In a town close to Punxy Phil! :)
Yum! You make me smile and giggle when you do your taste test! 😁
Nanette: I am happy that I can make you smile.
OAG
Those look so good! I am going to try them this year!
Great video on the life of a potato. I have planted potatoes both at the urban homestead and the homestead in the woods this year. The ones at the urban homestead is doing great, but the ones at the homestead in the woods are not doing great. Almost 70% of them didnt make it. I have never had any problems with potatoes.
Hello and welcome to my channel. Yes, I have had that problem sometimes. Did you do something different at one location that you didn't do at the other location? Thanks for commenting.
OAG
OldAlabamaGardener I did the same thing in both locations. Its just strange.
I wasn't prepared but tried to grow potatoes this year anyway....it was a complete failure, I'm hoping by watching videos for researching and adding amendments to the soil next years harvest will be good :)
Unless you have unusual conditions, potatoes are one of the easiest vegetables to grow.
Those potatoes look so nice and your fried potato sure look yummy! Hope we can go visit you and see your garden sometime 😊 TFS great info!
Hello A. The weather has been so hot that many things in my garden are not doing well. I'll work on a visit from you. Thanks for commenting.

Enjoyed the vid! Rattlesnake beans are about 6" tall now. :-) Can't wait to pick some beans!
Hello RM, did you put any fertilizer in the planting row for the RSPB? They will grow fast. Let me know when they start blooming. Thanks for commenting on this video.
C.
yes sir we did and we also put chicken deep litter on it to. I do deep litter in the chicken pens and it was very good compost.
Congratulations! It is amazing how you take care and enjoy the fruits of your labor. That potatoes, I know, are delicious! I have one plant in a bag, but I haven't harvested yet. I'm not confident in the outcome because I did not fertilized it. I'll harvest tomorrow to see what I get. Thanks for teaching us. Keep doing that great job!
Hello Fatima and welcome to my channel. Perhaps your potato plant will at least make some small potatoes. Please come back here and let me know what your plant did. A little fertilizer will always help things grow better. Thanks for commenting on this video. I invite you to subscribe and watch as I upload more videos during the summer and fall growing season.

Hello Sir! I'm so happy! Just now, I got 4 large potatoes, 3 medium and 3 tiny one! Can I eat it inmediately or do I have to cure it first? I can't wait! Lol
By the way I subscribed since I watched the first video
Fatima, sorry for my late reply, I have been outside working in my garden. Yes, you can eat it now. That is what is called: "New potatoes". The skin will slip off very easy, but you can just wash it with a brush and most of the skin will come off. Sounds like you did really well with your bag growing potato. Congratulations!

Me too OAG. Loves me some potatoes. :)
Great job my friend!!!
Hello John, thanks for watching my video. I hope you are doing better.

After you harvest your potatoes how do you store them. Love you channel
Hello and welcome to my channel. After I dig them out of the ground, I lay them out to cure in a dark, dry and cool location, in my basement. After they cure for a couple weeks I store them in five gallon buckets i the basement. Thanks for watching this video.

OldAlabamaGardener Hello! I live in the Philippines
great tip my Mother would toss those tiny things in soups or stews when she had some very good that way as well :) thanks for sharing
Hello Freaky, haven't I saw you at some of the live cast chats? And yes, adding the small potatoes to soup and stew is a good way to use them. I always hate to see them go to waste. Thanks for commenting on my videos.
OAG
Yes sir I do attend a few live streams when I actually get notifications on time :) I'm the one who mixes folks posts up or reads them wrong and asks crazy questions :P lol when I'm not being silent or helpful :D
Where are you located?

at home ;) I live in Canada way to far to walk to most prepper/homesteader's in the good ol USA :D
Fried potatoes are yummy
hello and welcome to my channel. Yes, they are. It has been so hot here I am a little surprised that my potatoes did so well. Thanks for commenting.
OAG
I love your videos God bless you for the wonderful information I was just wondering how long do you let them heal over before you plant them I a newbe in the garden thanks
Hello again Gail! Sometimes I don't let them heal over, and just plant them right away. At other times I have let them heal over for 5 or 6 days and then planted them. You know what, I haven't found it makes any difference in how much potatoes they produce.
Thanks for stopping by.
OAG
I always chuckle when you go fast motion. My how fast you are!

Great looking potato harvest. I've never planted potatoes before but would love to. Is it better to plant them in the spring or fall?
Hi Kim and welcome to my channel. When to plant potatoes, I think spring is best because the ground is still cool. Potatoes are a cool weather crop and when the ground warms up the potatoes don't sprout and do well. Depending on where you live you could grow a fall crop. I invite you to subscribe and watch as the summer growing season progresses and then I'll be planting a fall garden. Thanks for commenting on this video.
OAG
You're making me hungry, C!
Hello N. Fried potatoes are always good. Thanks for commenting.
C.
I was thinking about planting potatoes again this fall in sc. can you plant twice in Alabama?
Hello Kay, Yes, I can and sometimes do plant a second crop in the late summer to be harvested in late fall. Have you planted a second crop before?
OAG
Looks great! I'm gonna try making tater tots. I thought I had seen a video made by you about drying potatoes but can't find it now. Do you have a dehyrdating potatoes video?
No, I don't have a video on dehydrating potatoes. Hello and welcome to my videos. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe.
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener Thanks for getting back with me. I have subscribed and I really like your videos. Sorry about the dehydration confusion...I also watch another Alabaman's videos and I found it was in his playlist. I get you two guys mixed up sometimes. Keep up the interesting and informative videos...I love watching and always learn a lot.
Sure isn't nothing better than home grown. These little potatoes are also good in a pan cooked with some fresh green beans, onions, and pork.
Hello and welcome to my channel. You are right, home grown is certainly the best, especially these days with so much food being GMO and sprayed with Round-up. I sometimes cook them that way too. Thanks for commenting on my videos. I invite you to subscribe and watch as the summer growing season continues.
OAG
You are so very welcome! Thank you!
Great video!!!!! Those tater tots look good!! 😁💖
Hi Tiffany, welcome to my channel. Yes they were good and its a great way to use the small potatoes that many folks just throw away. I invite you to subscribe and watch as the summer growing season continues and the fall planting comes on. Thanks for commenting on this video.
OAG
OldAlabamaGardener Thanks! :-)
Tiffany, I like to know where my UA-cam friends are located, so where do you live?
OAG
OldAlabamaGardener I'm in TN. :-) I was in your class at the conference.
Oh, you were in my class, I so much thank you for watching me both at the class and on my channel. Do you plan to attend the conference next year? I hope I will be able to as long as my health holds up.

Hi my name is Patricia Smith I am from Mobile Alabama. My question is what did you buy your azomite from.
Hello Pat and welcome to my channel. I buy Azomite from a local farm store but you can also order it online. Although I have a gulf picture on my home page, I do not live in the gulf area. I am at the north end of AL. Thank you for commenting on this video. I invite you to subscribe and watch as the summer growing season progresses.
OAG
An alternative way to prepare is to steam them in the Instant Pot, flatten, then fry. Might spare the kitchen a little heat in the summer. I usually do a big batch and have half for potato salad and fry the rest. Any excuse to use the Instant Pot.
I agree Diane! I love my Instant Pot and I am still learning about all I can do with it. Thanks for commenting on this video.
OAG
No My crop was so small due to voles or moles from spring planting. I wanted to try again. I am pulling up my contender green beans and thought I would try planting potatoes. It is a small 4ft by 20 ft.
Kay, In a 4 by 20 bed you can grow a lot of vegetables. Now, do you now if it is moles or voles that destroyed your potato crop? Mole make the little raised mounds meandering around in the yard or garden. Voles make small holes in the ground about the size of an egg or maybe a little smaller.
I can help you with either one, but it is much easier in E-mail than here in UA-cam.
OAG
How deep do you make the furrow??
Hello OAG...i have couple questions for you plz about planting potatoes...1)can we use store bought potatoes or does it have to be seed potatoes..and whats the difference? If we harvest the potaoes can we reyse them to plant tge following soring or will they be too old?also,if we dont harvest potatoes on time..leaving them in the ground longer..will they rot or go bad?Thanks soooo much
All good questions. Lets take them apart and answer them one at a time. I'll post your question and then my answer. *_1)Your question:_* "Can we use store bought potatoes or does it have to be seed potatoes?" *_My answer:_* It depends. If the store bought potatoes were organic, then yes. If the store bought potatoes were not organic, then probably not. *_2) Your question:_* "What's the difference?" *_My answer:_* Store bought (non-organic) and store bought organic could be the same variety, it is the way there are treated that makes the difference. Store bought (non-organic) potatoes are sprayed with Round-Up to kill the foliage and make it easier to harvest. I don't have proof, but I believe the Round-Up moves through the potato stem and down into the roots and potatoes, where it inhibits growth. *_3) Your question:_* "If we harvest the potaoes can we reyse them to plant tge following soring or will they be too old?" *_My answer:_* (It kind of hard to understand your question, but I'll try.) I think you are asking, if you harvest the potatoes. can they be used for planting the next year or will they be too old. Potatoes, if not sprayed with Round-Up and stored properly will remain good until the next planting season. The most important thing is storing them properly. *_Your question:_* "if we dont harvest potatoes on time..leaving them in the ground longer..will they rot or go bad?" *_My answer_* It depends. If the weather gets hot the potatoes will rot in the ground. If you are only 2 or 3 weeks late they should be okay. Now, with all that said, lets talk about Round-Up. Round-Up is now proven to be cancer causing. So, do we want anything that has had Round-Up sprayed on it? For me, the answer is no. If I haven't answered your questions, please ask again. Google search on OAG potatoes This should bring up all my videos on growing potatoes.
OAG

I love tater tots!
QUESTION: March 21 to July 15 is actually over 114 days... yet this video shows the total days at 83. I want to grow potatoes well and plan for the harvest. How long did it take from placing the 'seed potatoes' in the ground until you harvested them??
I probably made a mistake in adding up the days. Thank you for watching my videos. Please subscribe.
OAG
Did your potatoes get any cool season during their growth ? I have tried growing in my container garden here in Mumbai several times but not got any harvests . Almost always the plants succumb to some type of virus ,the growing tips of the plant dry up and growth stops . Also it is around 95 F most of the months .
hello and welcome to my channel. Yes, the early months are cool and it is true that potatoes are a cool weather crop. I wish for you success in your next time to try growing potatoes. Thanks for commenting.
OAG
There appeared to be a white powder on the cut potatoes when you planted them. What was that?
Hello and welcome to my channel. Sometimes potatoes, when cut will develop a whit looking color as they "heal over" prior to planting. That may have been it. I know you can grow great potatoes in your location of IN. Thanks for watching and for commenting.
OAG
What are the distances between one patato and others?
About 8 to 10 inches. I appreciate you watching my videos. Please subscribe if you haven't yet.
OAG
Would you use triple 13 for the potatoes ?
Yes, I use triple 13 for everything. On some things I might apply less than on others.
OAG
OldAlabamaGardener Your a source of knowledge Mr.Ohama, do you even consider side dressing later in the season or no ?
Potatoes don't usually need side dressing. I do side dress other plants if they look like they need it.
OAG
I was told you can plant potatoes in the fall and they will grow through the winter and be ready for harvest in the spring, is this true?
Yes, that is true. I think you would have better success with small whole potatoes rather that cut potatoes as I show in this video. Thank you for watching my videos. I am trying to reach a major goal of subscribers, you can help me by asking all your friends and family to subscribe to my UA-cam channel. Thank you.
