I am 9 months pregnant. Your channel has been a blessing to me. I absolutely cannot sleep at night so i just watch your videos till dawn every night. You have inspired me to cook again. Could you please do a couple of quick healthy recipes, please.. thanks...
A safe healthy alternative to sleeping pills is Melatonin. Works for me. (Old person) Believe me you're going to need your rest for after the birth. Best wishes.
taking Melatonin can change your natural production of melatonin and cause you to be dependent on it. So not exactly “healthy”. Speaking from experience.
Of course you would consult with your doctor, before taking any supplement, especially being pregnant. As thia article says, start with a lower dose, say 1 - 3 mg. There are studies that say it should not interfere with your own natural production, but go off it periodically, or just use it the odd time you need it, if that concerns you. Melatonin is quite effective, but sometimes may not work, when some psychological disturbance overrides it. You can get up to go pee, look after the baby (but someone should watch you so you don't go back to sleep while feeding), or escape a fire, but don't opperate machinery.
Can we get a STCG t-shirt with the paper towel roll on it? You use it in your transitions, and I love it. I want to wear it. My dad wants to wear it. Like this comment, so we can make it happen, people!
I just tried these tots and they were amazing. Thanks for showing me how to cook the right way. My family and friends are enjoying all the good food you are teaching us. Keep up the great work!!!
I haven't watched the show in 6 months or so, it keeps getting better and better. The banter, commentary and great info paired with slow mo and zoom ins just has me begging for more!! Keep up the great work gentlemen.
This is crazy--Stuff You Should Know (great podcast btw) just did a ketchup episode and mentioned curry ketchup. So of course I ordered a bottle of the Heinz stuff from Germany. My wife asked me what I spent $22 on; I said, "A bottle of ketchup". The garage sleeps very nicely this time of year.
all you need is ketchup and curry powder to make curry ketchup. My german grandma made it all the time. Then watered it a bit down to make a curry ketchup sauce with a drop or two of maggie wurst sauce
@@xraygeeoff No one here knows anything about Gomer Pyle. That was part of my summer daytime TV shows in high school during the mid 70s. It was in syndication back then but I used to watch it as a kid in the 60s. Now, how many know it was a spin-off from Mayberry R.F. D.?
@@amen_ra6926 Jim Nabors was a special talent. Heck of a singer. Also, I love the Mayberry episodes that featured musicians- I still watch them with my children.
First time watcher!!! I have to say I LOVE THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE MEASUREMENTS! A little of this, a pinch of that. This is how I cook. Definitely a new subscriber
@DJ C: I thought the 'Schwing' ref is from Ferris Bueiler. His friend goes ' Batter-batter-batter, Sch-wing! It was either at the Ballgame or in the dad's garage
I made them and just finished eating & they are better than any tater tots I have ever eaten ( cooked mine in homemade ghee, so no chance of rancidity! I knew they would be great after I had done the stroganoff with meatballs, I get compliments on my stroganoff but yours are 10 x better, had to close my eyes (& chew slowly) at every succulent bite. Wish I had better words to describe both recipes! Thank you so much 💓 😋
I commented earlier before the video was done. So great to see a Canadian doing a cooking video on here! I rarely see that. Cheers from a fellow Canuck🍻
You know what hooked me on tater tots? The scene in Breaking Bad where the Madrigal CEO ate the tots with the sauces and then killed himself. It was the crunch, and just seeing him sitting there eating the tots…I like them better than fries now. AND I use this recipe! Thanks, Sam and guys,
Dude I love how into what you’re doing you are! You’re always so excited when trying out what you just made, clearly very passionate about what you do. Love your vids and creativity with food. Much respect from a fellow Canuck.
Sam, your videos give me so much joy. If I’m having a bad day or I’m not feeling discouraged about life, your videos are a ray of sunshine and happiness in my day. For the time I spend watching your videos I feel happy and apart of your world and everything else just fades away. I hope you can understand the joy and happiness you bring others with the content you, max, and everyone else create. Never stop what you do because it’s more than just food (even though your food is amazing). I hope you see this comment and appreciate the impact you have on people. Thank you.
Made these today, with my own mayo, squeeze garlic, Sriracha, sweet relish dipping sauce. AMAZING. My wife is a super tater tot fan and is in heaven! Thank you so much.
Dude, roll it into a tight log with plastic wrap, freeze briefly, the cut them into chunks through the plastic wrap. No one's hand rolling tater tots one by one. It would also have been cool to try half the batch in an air fryer.
Just roll on the counter & break the roll into tot-sized chunks. I like the air fryer idea. It would be nice change from all of the pan frying & deep frying...not that I dislike those things. But we STCG followers deserve all of the options.
There is something about the way you use the whole paper towel roll that just screams how delicious something is. Your videos definitely inspire me to be more creative in my cooking. Keep up the good work, and give Lewis a treat for me.
I fried fresh seeded Habenero strips (4-5 peppers) in a generous amount of bacon fat on low heat. Remove peppers, fry 4 strips bacon in the Habenero spiced fat until crispy. Chop into bits. Add to shredded potatoes. It adds a delicious sweet heat everyone can enjoy, & it really amps up the sauces.
There was a Ramen House, in Long Branch,NJ, that used to make these amazing deep-fried Ramen Tots, drizzled with a spicy mayo and covered in Bonito flakes. I would love to learn how to make those, or something close to it.
have you tried shredding first then blanching? or does the layering of par-cooked to undercooked center of potato give you just enough starch development for these to stick together when forming?
Truffles and other shrooms are big business, NYC has mushroom dealers for restaurants. They roll around in unmarked vans, other shroom dealers try to steal their shrooms, its like a legal drug game.
Are you going to re-release another edition of your previous cooking books. I’d love to pick them up but can’t find them everywhere. With you about to hit 3M subscribers might be a good time to rerelease those cookbooks!
Homemade tots? Si papi! (I was hoping one of the boys would throw that in again.) The tots and sauces look so good and the bowls are so CUTE. 😏 😁 Keep up the epic editing.
I’m 22 years old, I shouldn’t know the schwing reference. But I’m a hybrid of old and young. I’m the last of my species and I appreciate you for bringing me back to the days before I was born. Ahh good times. 😂 Btw you were either a 90’s kid or a poor 2000’s kid and I was the latter.
I'm definitely going to be trying to make homemade tots now. I love love me some tots! Sam you're a fun guy that's inspired me to get back in the kitchen now that I'm retired. Thanks for the videos.
The original Tater Tots were made using the scraps from the production of fries, including the skins. I will be making these but plan on using the skins also. I'll let you know how they turn out. (The sauces look incredible by the way!)
I cooked these up tonight. I did some hand rolled, but they didn’t look as good as Sam’s (even though I watched closely). I also rolled some up in plastic wrap and froze partially. Then I unrolled, and sliced. I was worried about the smooth ends but no one complained. I cooked at 356/180. Don’t go too hot. I was worried about burning and some weren’t cooked as well as they could have been, because they were too thick. I also partially froze the hand rolled ones while waiting for family to get home, so that could have been a factor. A nice change in potato routine. I love tater tots but being insulin resistant, can’t indulge very often :(
Hey STCG! Became a fan of the channel last year... first time commenting. I watched this video and promptly went out to buy some white truffle oil and made the truffle garlic sauce. Because of this channel, I roast my garlic, this time roasted it with the white truffle oil... That ish is the best sauce I've ever had, and my wife agrees. Thank you!
3 million- I am thinking of a mega roast beef sandwich with mega side dishes and or a mega Nashville hot chicken sandwich with mega sized fries! You guys rock!
Napoleon Dynamite would be proud of those tots.
And sad if you smooshed em
"Hey Napoleon give me some of your tots." Lol
Dude!

Love the “don’t” added into the beat when Sam was making the tots lol

If Sam can come close to a cut by using the wrong knife that’s a HUGE lesson for the rest of us home cooks. Use the right tool for the job.

Great Job, Boys! The food looks great, and that was a great video! The editing and camera work just keeps getting better!
have you tried shredding first then blanching? or does the layering of par-cooked to undercooked center of potato give you just enough starch development for these to stick together when forming?

Golly Golly Gooolly! RIP Jim Nabors🙏
Sweet!! Wednesday is my birthday!!! Perfect timing😄😄🎉🎉
Tater tots with ground beef, sour cream, salsa and queso on top. It’s the best
Tater tots instead of mashed potatoes on top of a shepherd's pie is good too.
Why, Jordan? Why?
I've been doing fantastic with my cravings during intermittent fasting until this. I do hope you're happy
I would watch the unedited version all his videos. Got to love the harmony between Sam, max, chance and the food.
If Astro had barked at the intro…..I think I would’ve lost my marbles
Yes!
One or the best cooking show there is ... greetings from the caribbean ...
Sam didn't learn this potato recipe from anyone, he self "tot" himself how to do it 😎
Tried this with air fryer, worked great. Also used a food processor for potatoes! Thanks the family will be requesting now.
Watched a movie with Nichols Cage where he’s a chef who gets his truffle pig stolen. It was actually a lot better than I thought it would be.
Truffles and other shrooms are big business, NYC has mushroom dealers for restaurants.
They roll around in unmarked vans, other shroom dealers try to steal their shrooms, its like a legal drug game.
The reflection of the lights behind the camera you had on your glasses were mesmerizing.
