    Thinly sliced sweet onion thats been rinsed and dried tossed with the hashbrowns after they soak is a game changer. a diner in my hometown does it, they crisp up along side the tats and give it this slightly sweet slightly bitter flavor that just takes it up a notch. they also fry theirs in a mix of ghee and oil which give it that slightly nutty buttery flavor.

    Fun fact: Potatoes are the most productive (calorie wise) crop. It's also very hardy and can grow in harsh condition (it's domesticated from Andes). It require less light, less maintenance, and don't have seasonality. Basically whenever you need some, just pull it from the ground.
    The reason rice is the most eaten, apart from population (you know, asia), it grows on waterlogged soil where not much competing plants can grow. Basically roots need oxygen and water has 20x less oxygen than air. Rice plant however evolved air tubes to carry oxygen into it's root network. Some varieties can even grow under 2 meters of water.

    For Hash browns: I've been baking my potatoes, and refrigerating (overnight, up to a couple days) then shredding them by hand. Most of the skin actually pulls off in your hand while shredding. They keep their shredded shape, are fulling cooked and dried out - and quick to pan fry to a golden brown - great texture too.

    Video suggestion : Next year during abundance of fruits and veggies in the garden, could you make a video of you harvesting your organic fruits and veggies from your garden and make a traditional pasta sauce from it? I have been doing it with my heirloom veggies and tomatoes this summer, its just unbeleivable ... You can create the richest, most nutricious, chunky ratatouille straight from the garden at this time of the year.
    I think people would be inspired to see the whole process, from the harvest of the different veggies, to preparing each of the veggies for cooking, to the plate. Its so easy, people might want to try it next year, resulting in an abundance of healthy people.
    Health can be as infectious as diseases.

    I like most of these recipes, but I will enduringly never understand people's obsession with hyper-smooth mashed potatoes. If you want texture-free potato slime, pre-cooked potato flakes are already a thing. The whole point of good mashed potatoes is that they *aren't* texturally boring.

    • @crystalrowan
      @crystalrowan 4 місяці тому +6

      I think too often the super creamy version ends up gluey (he mentions that can happen if you don't cook the potatoes long enough). I think that particular texture is much more prone to the glue-iness being extra obvious and gross, too. I like airy mashed potatoes (I use a potato ricer) that are not quite as super smooth as this version, but getting the potatoes cooked right is key to avoiding that slimy, gluey texture.

      Russet potatoes are just our standard starchy (Floury) potatoes, yukon golds are kinda in between waxy and starchy and we just use for general purpose most the time, while red potatoes end up being our typical choice for a waxy potato. As an American, I suspect the only reason American recipes tend to specify those is because they are by far the most common, and often the only choices in our grocery stores. But just keep those traits in mind and you should be able to find a substitute pretty easily

    Great videos! The Patatas Bravas are my favorite. Hoping to visit Spain this year and you mentioned La Rioja... Any suggestions on where to stay/visit in that area? Interested in tapas bars, wine tasting, and cultural experiences.

    The most insane but also most criminal mashed potato recipe I've ever used is 50% powder to the weight of the potatoes. It's incredible

    Can you use a potato ricer instead of using the strainer method?

    an amazing alternative to pushing your potato pure through fine mesh is using a food mill. seriously its 10 times faster and way less work for almost as smooth of potatoes.

    I bought a new mandolin recently and it comes with a little paddle that has sharp points on one side to stab into your item and then a handle on the other. So when you start to get close to the blade you pop that bad boy on and the paddle has some rails that keep you from slicing off the tips of the spikes on the other side and ending up with little plastic bits in your food.

    As a Brit with Irish ancestry, this is one hell of a good video.
    On the mashed potatoes, do you know if you get a similarly smooth texture with a food mill or ricer?
