These Potato Cakes From 1796 Aren’t What You’re Expecting |Real Historical Cooking|

Yummy savory potato cakes mixed with scallions, garlic and bacon? Not this time. How about potato cakes from 1796 that are flavored with wine and sugar. This is weird. How will they turn out?

Please don't call my tin pot aluminum. It really hurts his feelings.

Every time I see this little house, be it from the outside or its interior, I am overcome with wholesomeness :3

In Australia we use the left over mashed potato's and veggies from dinner and pattie them then fry them. We call it Bubble and Squeek.😊🥰

My 82 year old granny (who loves both channels!!) she makes potato cakes- no wine, adds diced green onions/salt/pepper, and does the rest like your receipt except she fries them in lard. They’re REALLY good- no sauce either. She also uses leftover white beans and makes bean cakes the same way. (We’re in rural northeast Arkansas)

I was just thinking, as an older person, that it’s so lovely and comforting that there are young people like you and Ron who care about keeping the (good) old American ways alive - thank you:)

Even when the food may not turn out so great, your vibe and cat are awesome 💗😺 - my grandmother had an old American recipe book that she got from her grandmother, and I vividly remember some of the recipes had been struck through using an old ink pen and salty comments as to the taste/quality of the items written in the margins. Apparently my great-great grandmother had strong opinions on food and wasn't afraid to let it be known. When one of my aunts asked my grandmother if she'd ever made one of the scratched through recipes, grandmother looked shocked and said "we don't cook the struck through recipes in this house!" 🤣

I’m half icelandic and half German. My Scandinavian ancestry sprinkles white sugar (along with butter and salt! But NEVER wine 😂) on white potatoes, mostly to be eaten to balance out salted or smoked meats. My ancestors have done it for hundreds of years, and my family still eats them this way. Maybe Mrs Simmons was of Scandinavian ancestry? Now, the wine-?? Maybe she was tired 😂

I love your honesty about these potato cakes. Clearly, MishMish loves her human companions.

I love that you bring history to life. It really makes you ponder the work that people went through. Can’t imagine the misery of cooking in the summer months

You're such a good cat mom. Glad there are bad recipes even back then lol.

I am preparing this recipe in France for the dinner. I Wish my family will like it. Thanks Justine !

I’m sure y’all are glad you get eggs 🥚 from your chickens 🐓!! I paid $5.39 for a dozen large eggs last night at grocery store! 😮

Potato pancakes! My Dad made these for us at supper all the time while i was growing up! He fried them in the frying pan and we ate them with ketchup. SO GOOD!

[frankiehensley]

I grew up on a farm and it was my job to cook dinner when I got home from school.The parents were sorting dried tobacco leaves in the barn.As an old guy who started cooking over 65 years ago, I really like this channel. Brings back memories

Such a relaxing video while the wind and rain rages around me. Your videos are a blessing to many.thank you.

The boiled mashed potatoes, flour and egg yolks is how you make gnocchi, but man, that receipt went right off the rails!
