Crispy Potato Pancake Poppers (No Fry) - Food Wishes

I think I’ve given up on trying to make amazing potato tots at home. With a lot of effort you can make a mediocre batch, but they’re just not worth all the work. However, they don’t sell frozen Crispy Potato Pancake Poppers, which are amazing, and were “invented” during one of these failed tot attempts. Enjoy!

How is it, that when confronted with 2 extra large russet potatoes, I think "I could never eat all of that", but when confronted with 24 crispy potato poppers I think "I'm not sure that will be enough for me in one sitting".

"And that is what we call in the business 'a mixed message'" had me laughing so hard

Chef John, you make the world a brighter place! Thank you.

The humble potato..always makes my heart sing.

"Grab from the bottom." That's genius! Never even considered how that could impact uniformity of cooking and flavor. Thanks Chef John, again!

I am the person who always grates their finger, so on Amazon I found these cut-proof gloves, and I wear one of those with a plastic kitchen glove over it so the cut-proof glove doesn't get messy (it's like a cloth material), and now I can shred and zest all of my food down to the very end. Highly recommend!

I need this guy to narrate my life. It would be interesting amusing and calm at the same time. 😁

As charming as ever. I never get tired of listening to this man talk.

"Mix this very thoroughly with our fingertips, using a fairly gentle, thoughtful, and dare I say loving touch..."
Chef John rocking the Deadpool.

I can't get over how much I enjoy this dude's narration style. The little uplifts, the pacing...it's weird but in the best way possible.

Chef John, very nice recipe, being Irish from rural Kentucky this recipe is a staple. 2 tips, when grating potatoes, carrots, etc... buy 4 metal thimbles & use on your fingers of the grating hand on the box cutter & no finger slices missing, to remove the potato moisture place a couple of paper towels under the perforated basket of a salad spinner & crank 3 minutes, ( absorbs the water) a $ 10.00 plastic item from Walmart & can be used for more than salads/greens, hope that helps everyone for prep

Skipping the paper towel explosions to go directly to cloth towel shows personal development and growth 😀

Loved that he was woofing them down as fast as possible at the end. Yeah, those would last about 10 minutes with me too.

[bitdaydreams]

Chef John is always so charming. I don't even cook the recipes but I love watching him cook!!

To get the shredded potatoes dry a salad spinner works great.

[naurrr]

the more potato pancakes I can consume in one sitting the better

[littlecookingtips]

This is a delicious AND versatile recipe! One can add various spices, like smoked paprika and completely change the flavors. Also, we'd love those with tzatziki on the side!

[FilbieTron]

Several times throughout the recipe narration had me unabashedly smiling and giggling. That’s what I love about this channel, the surprise laughs interspersed with an awesome recipe. Thanks Chef John ✌🏻✌🏻

"don't feel like you have to go all the way down to the last shred of potato, even though i did, and i'll be a little disappointed if you don't as well."

that is right out of the book of "Advanced Techniques for Raising Children with Psychological Problems".
