Oh man. I have celiac, and i know it sounds dramatic but losing chewy noodles was genuinely heartbreaking... that first recipe might be a GODSEND

[OWK]

Those big fat noodles are actually a close relative to German potato dumpling otherwise known as Grüne Klöße or Kartofullklöße or Thüringer Klöße. They are made from half cooked and half raw potatoes and you save and use the settled potato starch from the extracted juice of the grated raw potato. This asian version skips a bunch of work and the raw fiber, and just uses packaged potato starch. (We often end up adding a tablespoon or two of the packaged potato starch to make things come out right.). HINT: boil the cooked potato in the skin and you will have stickier boiled potato that lends itself to dumplings better. Instant pot is good for cooking potatoes in the skin.

A friend's Mexican mother made potato taquitos once for me and some friends. It was just instant mashed potatoes in corn tortillas with all the toppings. It's been 20 years and I still remember how fantastic they were.

I love the simplicity of taco + mashed potato + misc toppings = DELICIOUS

Very nice! I watched Poppy's video of the 1000 layer a week or so ago - I 'kmow' her from appearances on Sorted Food. I gotta try someof these...

Looks fun ... I will definetly try the "noodles". But there is a reason why Klöße evolved the shapes they did. ;)

16:07 OMG, potato flautas (tacos dorados) for breakfast and with eggs is such a great idea! I love potato flautas (my mom has made them since I was kid) and I always felt it was delicious but too simple for main meal. This solves that issue I’ve had

Poppy is a famous British chef, and she is well known for her love of potatoes. Nice to see you tackling one of her recipes!

[ThomasGocheour]

The noodles are amazing. I kneaded my dough, but instead of rolling them I pipped them with a large pastry nozzle.

[ricknico]

I made the thick noodles today using cassava and tapioca starch, its super easy since boiled cassava is really gluey, good and fun to eat😋👌

[marekochotny]

In Poland You roll the dough, cut it (at an angle) in about 3-4 cm pieces and boil. What You get is called kopytka (literal translation would be hoof or a trotter). It it served with butter and/or crispy bacon, sausage pieces or ketchup (options are limitless)

Poppy is awesome! She is known for her short form content and is a regular on the sorted food YouTube channel BUT she now has her own YouTube channel and has longer form content too! She's known as the potato queen so she is good inspo for potato content and im loving watching her YouTube content as im old (39yo) and prefer long form content.

I reccomand looking into german and more so austrian dumplings. Lots are potatoe based and the austrians come in sweet versions. Potatoe Desserts basically.

[nannettenannettek]

I wonder if you used a pastry bag to make the 1st noodles. 😊

[nemlea]

suggetion on the patoto tacos, used jack or oaxaca cheese (something that's going to melt) instead of queso fresco, and you have to salt you potato mix. You can add the queso fresco on a toping. Traditionally that is how its done.

[lisapop]

Perfect timing. I just harvested potatoes Saturday

[nonapplicable]

I appreciate you calling it a hash brown bc I may actually use this recipe to prep hashbrowns I’ve really wanted hashbrowns at home and haven’t figured out a way to make them this seems more simple and like it would store well in the fridge

I don't know if you've ever done this, but if not, and if you sometimes make fries, I highly recommend the lacto-fermentation (brined) method for making fries. This means leaving your cut fries in a jar filled with 3% salted water along with things that add flavor (herbs, spices, ...) for 5 days at room temperature and ambient light. I'm not sure if it's necessary, but I don't close the jar completely to let the gas escape; I just place the lid on without sealing it. After 5 days, you dry them as much as possible and cook them as usual.

I cooked mine for 5 minutes at 160 degrees Celsius (320 F?) in beef fat.
Let them cool for 1 hour in the fridge.
Then 5 minutes at 190 degrees Celsius (374 F?)

I have never made fries so good and especially so crispy.

edit : the first time : don't salt it after, it's already salty

[seaweedeater]

Im gluten intolerant so I loved that the potato dough was made with potato starch rather than wheat flour. I’m gonna make gnocchi this way. Boy, have I missed gnocchi? Yes, I have… but not anymore 🎉

[brooklynringer]

I appreciate you air frying it to see how it would be! Thanks for the great content as always!
