Day 4 has arrived and things are only getting weirder and weirder, in the best way possible.
In this episode I make some banana and egg pancakes, whip up a scallion potato pancake with chick peas and chicken, head to the Future Food festival where I snag some free samples and wind down my day with a potato chip salad.
More to come!

How can you just wake up one day and say "I'm gonna blend a potato and some scallions in blender and make a pancake out of it"?
Shit, I need to step up my game...
Because he's Jewish
+Kahandran He said what his thought process was, he was going to make a hash brown patty (or latke in jewish culture) but instead he thought what it would taste like if he blended it up instead of shredding it.
+Donte Smith but even he knows how good bacon tastes like
+Kahandran Actually potato pancakes are very popular is countries like Germany. I've had them several times! :)
I always thought if you blenderized potatoes they turned into glue.
you could try the egg banana & ground chic peas together to make some pancakes, that way it'd be less omlety. Also you should try baking a whole potato, half it, scoop out the innards leaving the jacket intact & mash it together with something like your mayo, then place the mixture back in the jacket & put it under a grill for 5 mins. once its done just add a topping of your choice like coleslaw, cheese or sour cream to name a few. Its dirt cheep & really good mixture of different flavours & textures.
We have the "potato pancakes" in Sweden, they are called "Raggmunkar" and they are pretty good. Usually consumed with sidepork and lingonberries!
I'm what I like to call an Involuntary Vegan (severe intolerance to Any Dairy or raw eggs) so a lot of this is either helpful or something I already do, and I love that so much. This is a totally inspiring series, I'm enjoying it immensely.
In Poland we have this potato pancakes. They are amazing, you just blend potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, eggs and flour with spices and fry them on pan. Great with sour cream, mushroom sauce or turkey stew ;)
My German mother used to make potato pancakes with raw potatoes in a blender with egg, flour, a little onion and salt. They were delicious!
fried onions?? or straight raw
About 1/3 raw onion in blender with the rest of ingredients
+Lana Brooks thanks! am going to try this
Was your mother possibly from the Rhineland? We have these really nice potato-pancakes here, called "Kartoffelpuffer" - usually served with apple sauce or smoked salmon and reddish sauce.
You know that Kartoffelpuffer are not Rhineland exclusive?😂
I just realized now on Day 4, no pasta...the cheapest thing and you passed on it! LOVE IT! love the burger from day 3! Great job - rock on!
In Czech, the potato pancake is called Bramborák. Brambor means potato. But we dont blend them, we grate them or grind them. Add some flour and egg, some cream and fry em up.
I cook the same things over and over again.. I'm so glad I came across your videos! This morning I made (instead of 4 scrambled eggs, like I do every morning) those banana egg pankcakes... wow, fool proof, great my first time. Tomorrow I'll try the potato omelet.
For the potato omelet, how long do I leave the potatoes to cook before putting in the egg? Thanks!
I'm enjoying this more and more with every episode! That potato pancake looked HELLA good..
+CurranAesthetics We both love this guy?!?
+Journey To Jacked oh shit, I'm subbed to you too!
+CurranAesthetics The creativity level is only going up as he runs out of "prime" foods, I love this series.
+CurranAesthetics IKR? $3 a day and he eats more vegetables than I do XD
The thing that impressed me the most was the black beans pattie! Never thought of that!
Potato pancakes common in Latvian culture. I make them fairly often.
But good series. So far enjoying them. :) It kinda sums up what I`m doing sometimes when there`s "nothing" in the fridge. :D
I am always broke but I love to cook. Please keep up with this series! Experimental cooking 101!
I feel like your fro is increasing in size from video to video, lol.
Saving money on haircuts, of course!
Wait, you're saying his hair is growing? That's impossible, c'mon man
ALC0LITE, visible growth each and every day? You're right, that IS impossible.
The Littlest Giant
Is that sarcasm or serious? I can see visible growth in my facial hair from morning to evening in one day lol
ALC0LITE, facial hair is very different from normal scalp area hair.
I love how he eats everything with that little fork
Its prolly to stop himself from eating too.much, I do the same with chop sticks as I am not with them, they stop me from eating too much cuz I dont wanna get up and get a fork
Your meals are very creative! I got sweet potatoes at Target for a $1.29 each. I got them for a party of 10 so it was pricy. Lots of rural areas don’t have that many grocery stores around. 8 cents sounds like a very cheap price. You got to have the time to cook every day and keep it interesting. It’s a great challenge though and even if a regular person can’t cook 3 times a day, it’s worth a try!
Blended potato pancakes are commonly called kartoffelpfannkuchen, or just Kartoffel (in my house.) :P The right blend with onions is AMAZING with sour cream and molasses on top.
I love this deep, beautiful, joyful cooking show. Being broke never felt so great. Thanks from Canada.
My mother makes these potato pancakes (belarusians recipe), they are also common in germany (i have even seen some instant mix you can just fry) and they are also popular in south korea (mixed with flour and many veggies). but none is in the blender. i think its still very creative. ^^
Scallion Potato Pancakes w/ Chicken, Chik Pea & Slaw is my fav from this entire series!
Those potato pancakes are Lithuanian traditional meal, we just don't blend them, we grate them smoothly and then fry them on oil, serve with sour cream or mushroom cream sauce. Keep on going mate :)
on the potato pancake, here in Nebraska where i am we take the mashed potatoes and throw them in the skillet and make mashed potato cakes.
I live in Nebraska (:
In the UK we eat potato scones. The recipe comes from Ireland. It's either deep fried raw potato paste or shallow fried old mash potato.
In Poland we have something similar to your potato pancakes. We call them "potato cakes" (placki ziemniaczane). To make them we rasp potatoes very very finely (or blend for that matter) with a bit of onion. We drain excess water, add an egg, a bit of flour (to make the dough more sticky which you achieved by adding the rice), salt and pepper, and fry small but thick pancakes (ca. 10 cm diameter). They're crunchy on the outside but soft inside. We eat them with sour cream and/or sugar or plane. If we happen to fry them as big as you then we call them "cake a la Hungarian" (placek po węgiersku) and eat them with an aromatic meaty slightly spicy goulash :) Mmmmm. Yammy!
OMG that just brought back my childhood! I love love love potato cakes!!! My baba made the best ones ever!
that sounds good as hell. i wish i could copy and paste this comment. 😥
+Naija Christine Copy and paste the description directly on your plate :D Yap, I wish that so often, too! :D
Katarzyna Malczewska
Most DEFINITELY
+Katarzyna Malczewska In Germany they are called "Kartoffelpuffer" or "Reibekuchen" They are awesome with some apple puree or some cicnamon and sugar.
He called those pancakes 'flapjacks?!' In the UK, flapjacks are kind of like i guess granola bars in the US. I am loving this series it is super!
You're creativity with food is out of this world man. Genius!!!
This series has open my mind so much to make food I wouldn't think certain ingredients could ever make
In Lithuania we actually make those potato pancakes, it's like a traditional dish :)
It's 7:43am here and I have literally been up all night watching the brother green videos... I am starving now! Time to try a chickpea and banana pancake out!
My mom always used our leftover mashed potatoes, added chopped onion, a little flour, an egg and made potato pancakes. Yours looked really good and now I want some.
man........ those guys really love their scallions
Thank you so much for this series. I am trying it out this week and on day 2 I already feel better physicaly. I am also having fun trying your recipies and trying some of my own. I am enjoying and following your other videos. Thank you .very much. Also I think this will be able to help some family members save some money
The Billy Madison reference is too good! Thanks for being awesome!
Never ever thought about blending potatoes into a batter, damn that looks good! Love the banana egg pancake too, sounds like an awesome cheap breakfast :)
I love this series. We went through a rough patch financially and it does make you look at food differently, you get creative and you try not to waste anything and incorporate it into another dish. Then you appreciate when you're able to buy a new different ingredient.
Can you guys do a video on prep/what you keep in the fridge? We have a big issue with wasting food and I just want to know what staples you guys have ready at all times. Thanks a lot.
Experimenting is how AMAZING new dishes get created!!!
this channel is so entertaining, inspiring and just fun!
2:35 wtf is that sound i died of laughter lol
I wasn't expecting that too ! 😂
I think it was "bleeping" out a bad word.
+ 2:44 also happens!!! .. hehehe
I died omg wtf
It's a fart censor lmao
Hey, really enjoying these videos. I just had to let you know that in Latvia (most probably other of our neighbouring countries) potato pancakes are a thing, they consist of just potato, grated as fine as possible, eggs and salt. I like to squeeze out the excess moisture out of the grated potatoes before adding the egg, just to help along with the binding, shaping and frying. I know they don't sound like much, but they are really good! They go along with both savoury and sweet condiments too!!
Koreans have a dish very similar to your potato pancake. The process of making it is quite similar too but you wouldn't blend it. Just finely chop it because back in the days, there wasn't such a thing as an electric blender. It's super delicious if you can make it slightly crunchy. Soft inside, crunchy outside.
Your potato scallion pancake reminds me of Irish potato bread! :D (Made of blended or mashed potatoes, flour and butter!)
All these flour-less pancakes! Thanks for the inspiration man :)
Can't... stop...watching!
Basic Polish potato pancakes ("packi ziemniaczane"), serve with sauer creme, salt or... sugar.
I loved the tip to grunt when you flip the pancakes. Lol!
that fart censor is cracking me up
Same. lol Mainly, seeing the size of this dudes place in NYC is making me laugh everytime he talks about saving money... usually right before showing off his titanium chopsticks & his humungus penthouse-style loft. It's crazy. LOL
+Meee Aaaah!!? It's not crazy, he's just teaching people how to eat good food with $3 a day instead of hotdogs. He doesn't have to have low income and modest lifestyle to teach it.
+Etianen7 No, it's still crazy. Have you even been to NYC? My family lives there and trust me, that place he has IS crazy. I never said that there was anything wrong with having money and being thrifty, it's just a hilarious and severe juxtaposition! C'mon now, chill out there friend. We are all entitled to our opinions. :)
+Meee Aaaah!!?
Well how else to do you expect people to afford expensive houses/apartments. Cheap in one area to afford a different one. Just like how I personally live in a cheap house but that is so I can afford to travel often.
Arriss3 No matter HOW MUCH one person can save on food, it wouldn't equate to having a humongous penthouse in the most expensive to live place in the entire US next to San Francisco... You have to be VERY WEALTHY to live where he lives, I know from personal experience. (From being in NYC, not being rich! LOL) I understand what you're saying, but this is not his actual situation. He has a very very high paying career, he merely chooses to try being thrifty to experience what it is like in those other, poorer countries (where $3 a day is their actually food budget). He did this awesome $3 budget meal plan to experience what it is like for people in that country. Very cool, right? But Still, he is very well off and no amount of saving on groceries could do that alone (or else I'd be wealthy too!! LOL) He said those reasons I just mentioned in the first video if you want to check). Have a nice night friend. :)
Potato pancakes - popular dish in Eastern Europe. Every grandma know how to do this.
Yeah. in Polish it's called placki ziemniaczane (translated to potato pancake) it dose include some other ingredients as well and it's really crispy
+Maggie Aleksandrowicz Can you please tell us the ingredients?! :D
+Tina Ts. this is 2015. there is no need to ask questions. Google can be used for more things other than porn and Facebook
Oh God relax. I just thought it was a traditional recipe or anyone does it as he pleases so it will be hard to find
Tina Ts. I've found the most basic recipe for you www.sbs.com.au/food/recipes/potato-pancakes-mushroom-sauce-placki-ziemniaczane-z-sosem-grzybowym
it's all about being creative and this guy has it, great video as always and thank you.
You've totally inspired me to do this
No problem taking a few condiment squeeze packs. Stores all want to increase traffic and are happy to lure you in with little freebees. Besides, sooner or later you'll buy something there if you haven't already, and it all equals out. Don't think the stores don't know what's going on ... they figure its worth it. Just don't fill your backpack :0)
I grew up on potato pancakes, but it was what my mom would make out of leftover mashed potatoes :)
Didn't have a latke until I was in my 20s.
Since watching this I have made banana pancakes at least once a week. I also told my slimming world group and it blew their minds :)
It's 2am, I had way too much eggs and a couple of bananas laying around
I'd just watched a couple of your videos and thought I was a cook...
Ended up with scrambled eggs that tasted only the bananas
Fun times
Liked, commented and subscribed, have a nice day
Soylent green is people!!!
is it a gimmick or does it work ?
Soylent isn't a gimmick, its actually used by people who are building muscle and doing intense work outs.
+TheWillog good in a rush, and honestly it would be great for people in food deserts, poor countries, ect. There's a lot of potential to help people with it!
Watsky ;)
Max Powers its kind of like giving pet rats a rat block.
You made Korean potato pancakes! AKA gamjajeon (literally potato pancake). Except the trick to a crispy pancake is to drain the excess water from the blended potatoes, then drain off the water and add any starch back into the potatoes.
I just made the banana pancakes and they were surprisingly really good. They tasted like French toast but soggy.. Still really good! Yum!
Those drinks to replace food freaks me out. Like the whole juice diet and stuff.
The potato thing looked awesome
Add:
2 tbsp all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda to make the banana pancake fluffier and better. :)
we have potato pancakes in our country... they called 'bulviniai blynai' :)
I think those mushrooms you picked at the park to subsidize your grocery bill may have been of the hallucinogenic variety.
Regardless, I'm glad that you considered and addressed the condiment thieving aspect of your videos. :)
For everyone that is wondering, the reason he farts so much is because he eats 3lbs of chickpeas everyday. ;)
is that soylent green ? lol
haha ! it's people : )
Single4 2day lol I was afraid no one would get that reference
SOLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!! Ahhhhhhhhh!! *runs directly into mean grinder, becomes protein-rich Soylent Blue*
+Brandon Zech I bet half the people that heard "soylent" thought about that famous cult movie. So I'm talking about movie buffs or anyone over 40 years old.
+Single4 “Single42day” 2day You forgot, 'former film student', but I guess that's basically the same as a movie buff to some degree. LOL :)
lel at the end coming up day four #counting is hard
Defo one of my favourite series!
Really cool concept👍👍👍
So the food was 3$ a day, but how much was the weed
he took it from a fast food establishment
+JalapenoPedro Cheaper. I smoke regularly and it costs me less then 100 bucks a month. You just need to plan out your weed consumption like these guys plan out their meals :)
'soylent green is people!'
Add a dash of vanilla a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon to add some pizzazz to the banana pancakes 😊
U deserve an award for these ideas! 👏🏾> 🏅🏆
"Soylent Green is PEOPLE!"
Started watching the series to see how you could live on $3 a day..
Now, I'm coming back just to see how you combine daily food items into a tasty meal.
The way you simply have an idea and work on it to create a totally new dish is unique. Not to mention, it's always surprise whether the finished product would be edible.
I'm a full-time educator, so restricting my choices week-to-week makes it so I eat very well and cook delicious things, but I don't get overwhelmed by OMG SO MANY CHOICES. This week's foods are tofu, a red onion, red bell peppers, kale, jasmine rice, couscous, red lentils, chickpeas (from the freezer, I batch-cooked TONS last month), dried cranberries, peanut butter, sweet potatoes, two cans of fire roasted tomatoes, a package of bagels from a local bakery, coconut milk yogurt, berbere spice mix, flax meal, cacao nibs, maple syrup, soy sauce, and some frozen vegan gyoza. On the menu I have berbere spiced lentils, Moroccan couscous/chickpea salad, marinated baked tofu, roasted sweet potatoes with leftover marinade, sauteed kale and tofu stir fry, yogurt with flax and cacao nibs, toasted bagels with peanut butter, tomato/chickpea/red pepper soup, and of course the gyoza for the night when I'm stuck at work until 7. Cost me about $50 and I'm feeding two people.
Your positivity gives me a reason to be happy
Lol I don't think taking condiments is stealing. I work at a Carl's Jr and if someone came in and asked me for 10 ranch cups and 10 BBQ cups I'd give it to them haha
lol ̿̿ ̿̿ ̿̿ ̿'̿'\̵͇̿̿\з= ( ▀ ͜͞ʖ▀) =ε/̵͇̿̿/’̿’̿ ̿ ̿̿ ̿̿ ̿̿
They cost money to make and transport and whatnot, but quite honestly if you're taking them to use them (which is safe to assume if you're living on a budget) then it's literally no problem. I worked at a little restaurant on a college campus, and there'd be people who take handfuls of condiment packets and often left with them. I didn't mind at all so long as I didn't see half of them abandoned on a table when I did my cleaning rounds after the rush ended.
I take hella condiments wherever I go
But places like Whataburger charge for BBQ sauce.
Soylent is PEOPLE!! ;)
I love these videos. it inspired me to take the $3.00 a day challenge. I waste a lot of food letting it go bad but money restriction prevents that while forcing me to pick smarter and healthier options.
The scallion potato brown rice crepe... Brilliant! - I'm now convinced to buy a Vitamix. Quality not quantity.
half of your meals involve frying a mixture of things. this is the secret to delicious on the cheap
I want to see living on $300 a day.
+vanscoyoc hahaha, for real, like i wonder what he could do on a budget like that.
+vanscoyoc total change of pace. would be cool to see.
+vanscoyoc Really fancy potato pancakes with caviar.
100 banana egg pancakes and 100 potato pancakes
banana egg pancakes with a sprinkle of truffle :)
+ Brothers Green Eats... so inspiring and your sense of humor is refreshing.. love it!
This is riveting. Thank you for sharing your journey. I'm hooked.
taking condiments isnt stealing but you gotta do it somewhere far away from your local fast foods because its embarrassing
Crippling Memes it's stealing yes it is
ITs PEOPLE!!!
It took me way to long to realize the fart was to sensor. I replayed that like 4 time.😂😂😂
That scallion potato pancake looked delicious!
The kids loved the banana pancakes!
Wait isn't this day four? Why did it say day four coming up at the end?
I was just making sure someone else didn't post this before me.
+ChrisCatchesFish He then outs day 5 in the bracket.
soylent is people soylent is people ahhh lol soylent green :)
I look forward to your videos
That potato idea is so cool!
Am I the only one kind of grossed out with the Soylent thing? I mean seriously naming it that?
I half expected someone to mention the honey
Thanks for posting this.. It's really nice how you vlog to your viewers too, thank you..
You live in NY where lots of things are always happening. It's not like that everywhere else, but sometimes I'll get free food samples at grocery stores which is always nice. I get really excited when there's free food on my college campus AND always take advantage of it.
How did you get so many scallions
FrostBurnt Daugherty you buy them then put them in water they grow a bit
yes, but in the begging he only bought a few and he used a TON
After watching your videos I went into the kitchen, started mixing ingredients together thinking I was a master chef, and ended up making what I can only call "Glop"
I too made glop.
Hahaha. Ive made some glop and some good stuff. Practice, I guess.
It helps that he thinks literally everything is delicious.
He'd probably tell you your glop was the best thing he's ever had.
best comment ever. we all have made glop
Thats part of it sometimes things don't work out
holy shit this is my new favorite food/cooking channel. ive watched a handful of the other vids on this channel, but just getting this far through your week-long challenge to the potato-scallion pancake and the resulting crazy soft-taco thing has really cemented it. I love the non-traditional, totally experimental approach. and it's all using ingredients that are cheap as dirt that cultures around the world have been getting by on since the beginning of time. awesome.
Amazing! Bravo!
Fantastic! I love pancakes but I've been trying to cut grain out of my diet completely. Fantastic!
Alan Nikolai Stratmann why do you have to criticise him?
Alan Nikolai Stratmann Because it's that fantastic!
Love the idea of trying to eat on 3$ a day and cut your waste/consumption & inspiring others to do the same my only issue is with all the single use package your taking, not the "stealing", I have no stance on that just that they are so incredibly wasteful.... I hate to see more pressure being put on using these, we need to encourage people to stop thinking in a use once throw away mind set & this is doing the opposite. If you plan to continue living this way after the challenge or at least part of it please consider not keeping this part up! Buying products that are made more locally out of post consumed material (the package) or out of easily recycled materials or better yet refillable. I would challenge you to try canning your own sauces/salsas/jams with your creativity I think you would come up with some taster things any way!!! Cheers
You, my friend, are a genius, yet to be discovered... The potato/rice pancake will be cooked in The Netherlands tomorrow ^^ This is future cooking for me
I love your attitude and personality
I'm watching these videos back to back and it just hit me: you're making the kind of stuff I overpay for at Tapas bars! Just tasty little healthy-ish fresh stuff made of dirt cheap ingredients. Somewhere some chef is using this series to make a menu of 10,000% profit dishes but we'll see those prices and be like "nah, I seent my dude make that meal for $1.37 and some stolen condiment packets." but I'll cave in and buy some $12 crab cakes anyways because I'm a morbidly obese man with little self control trapped in a borderline obese dude's body.
Dick King best comment I’ve read all week
The Banana and egg pancake sounded gross but i was curious so i followed a tutorial on how to make it and it was disgusting, so i made it again from a recipe and it was still disgusting.
Lol I'm sorry your comment cracked me up
That's fine, its just in all of the videos their all like mmmm just like real pancakes,mmmm so healthy and delicious. It could also be because i hate eggs lol.
It's true your comment is lotsa lols for some reason. Had to read it twice.
+Adel Leyba that recipe is actually exist and a little bit popular, it's called No-Flour Pancake, using Mashed Banana and Egg
+Adel Leyba I know right! I tried it last week and it was terrible! Especially with honey, it makes it worse. It might be a little more tolerable with syrup maybe, but I don't get how he's enjoying it with honey
