You’re such a dear woman! I love listening to your lovely southern accent and watching you work in your beautiful red kitchen. I especially like the way you show us your utensils, along with special tips and techniques in your cooking. So glad I found your Utube channel! Can’t wait to see your beautiful gardens this summer! God bless you! A new friend from way up north.🥰🙏💕

Smart lady!!!! WE are really in perilous times!

[@barbarasue7191]

I'm the cook but my ex taught me to make potato cakes, how to sear steak and Christmas candy. All learmed from his Mother who was the best cook. Your potato cakes look delicious! Thank you Gay.

[@ladysmith3578]

I haven’t had this for years. My momma made them for me and she’s been gone 15 years. They were so good. I just hadn’t thought about them. Sometimes we had them for breakfast with syrup on them. You are looking really good Gay. I hope you’re feeling well too. I love all of your videos. You’re a special lady. ❤🙏🏻❤️

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

@@ApronstringsGayJordan Yes ma’am. I have wonderful memories of my momma and daddy. I’ve been very blessed.

[@jcbengals1]

My mom used to make these when I was a kid. I sure do miss her. Nothing would ever go to waste. We had them with ketchup too! Thanks for sharing this. 😊. Yes! Stocking up is very wise 😉. Take Care and God Bless ❤️

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

That ketchup makes everything better!!!❤️❤️

[@mollysmith6055]

This was fun to watch, I miss potato patties. We always had them from leftovers growing up but Hubby has never liked them so I don't make them anymore unless I get a hankering and make a teensy tiny batch. Yours looked scrumptious and yes, please ketchup with those. It would be nice if you got an Amazon Storefront. Ever since those Scrooges did away with their Amazon Smile program I have tried to find ways to get those extra pennies going to someone deserving. Have you ever considered gathering questions from your subbies to do a Q & A video for times when you don't feel like filming cooking? You are so kind and thoughtful to continue to prompt people to pay attention and get some food and supplies stocked up. You sounded like you felt so much better today, I'm thankful for that. Stay well and be blessed.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Good morning! Every day is better....I am thankful! Thank you for your love and concern! It means so much to have my strings family on board with me!

[@2old4thiscraziness]

Hey Gay! It's Pam in South Carolina. First let me tell you that I so wish we were neighbors! I feel like I'm in the kitchen with you. I truly miss having a good friend to spend time with. Now about this potato cooking recipe. I LOVE potatoes, anyway you can cook them. These look delicious, with or without the crumbs! lol. Thank you 😊 💓 ☺️! You are so down to earth and real. So hard to find these days. Have a blessed and beautiful day!

[@bwebgirl]

Thank you for sharing these. My mom used to make potato cakes (that's what we called them) for us. I'm with you, I always put a pat of butter on mine and catsup and mashed them all up. Yum. I can taste it now. I absolutely love your apron, and thank you for sharing those kitchen goodies. I have several of them, but the pepper grinder and silicone lids/covers I don't have yet. I'll wait for you to get your Amazon store set up and order them through you. I also wanted to tell you that I think you are doing amazingly well. I lost my husband 13+ years ago, and I'm only now starting to fall in love with cooking again, thanks to you and many other KZbinrs who have taken me along on their journeys. I'm learning to can and preserve and just be purposeful in everything and absolutely thankful for my blessings. I count you as one of those blessings. God Bless you for all you do and I'm sending Prayers for His Strength and Courage as you navigate the new normal.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

You know....in prayer I asked what my purpose was now. I felt so 1/2 here. I didn't get an answer...so I decided to carry on....doing the things I have always loved, even if I am the only one enjoying them. It has helped to stay busy .... Y'all have kept me busy, too.....knowing I need to visit with my Strings family. I know I havent been as active as I was, but, I am getting there!!!! HOpe your day is blessed. Keep on doing "stuff"!!!

[@cindy_k]

Sweet Ms Gay, so nice to see you again so soon! Oh boy do those look yummy. We've always made Potato Patties, but not near as interesting as your recipe. Our Heavenly Father protect us from all the evil that's out there wanting to harm innocent people, one day we won't have to deal with all that anymore. Bless you Dear Sister.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Wont we have a time when we get over yonder......no more worries...just peace forever more!!!!!!

[@unclecharlie1204]

These look wonderful and bring back so many memories of my childhood- My mother made mashed potatoes almost every Sunday and we always had leftovers created many many ways! This was one of my favorites! Thanks for sharing this- hope you are doing well. Be safe and blessed!

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Aren't those memories refreshing? Folks don't have meals on Sunday like we did. They go out. ugh...I love to gather my family around the table and share food and life!

[@joylouise5417]

You look like you are feeling better, thank goodness. Wish you would set up an Amazon link. Some of us would like to order that way. My wonderful mother used to make these when I was a kid. She didn’t like onions (can you imagine) so they weren’t included. If she didn’t have bread crumbs or cracker crumbs, she just coated them with flour and they were still good. But you sure brought back some lovely memories. Beautiful, beautiful potato cakes!

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

I love to walk down y’all’s memory lane!!!! Several have expressed the same thing❤️❤️❤️I’m checking on getting the Amazon link

I absolutely love these! Try a little A-1 sauce on them! Delish! When i make mashed potatoes i ALWAYS make extra just to make patties! They are so very versatile! I worry about you living ruraly Gay. Especially with the amount of people coming through Texas! Be fully prepared Gay! The things happening today with all the cell phones and pharmacies. It's going to get worse, a lot worse but we have The Lord to depend on! Keeping you in my prayers Gay!❤

Jo....I AM close to the largest colony of illegals in the US. But, we have had no problems down our road or our immediate area. Now, at the community...there are killings, drug deals etc on a daily basis. The law turns a blind eye...as they are in the developer's pocket. It is like a third world country there. Look up Colony Ridge. Plum Grove Texas

[@songbird1283]

We use our Swedish dough mixer a lot of times instead of a whisk. Momma used to make potato patties but flatter and no bread crumbs or panko. Your look yummalucious 😊. Yes, we are watching the news and try to get the knack of rotating products. Bless you Ms Gay 😊

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Good!!!!!! Stock up....and rotate. Just use what is in front...replace it as used. I write the best by date on top of the box or can.

[@debbieskitchen2]

Catching up with you at the butcher block. I had a big disaster in my apartment a couple weeks ago. My ceiling collapsed at the front hallway. They finished the repairs. It was nerve racking and a big mess. Thankfully I and my cat wasn't near where it fell. Maintenance man said the a/c unit line was stopped up and leaked into the ceiling. I didn't see any leaking so it was quite the surprise. The repair men said if it has came down on me I would have been badly hurt but thank the good Lord he protected us. My Momma used to make this from left over mashed potatoes and I have made them for my family too.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Omgoodness! Thank God you were gone. Inside repairs are awful....the mess! Glad it's all done now. I think all of my stuff is complete...just a few added for later things left on my list. Thankful!

So happy to see you! Those potatoes look delicious! I used to make these with mashed potatoes, but never added panko breadcrumbs! Yum! I will have to try that! Hope you’re doing better! Maybe if you made some meals in a jar - like a pint size, to have on your shelf, that might help you eat better for supper, on nights you don’t want to cook! I’m thinking of doing this for myself as well! And yes, we need to pay attention to this crazy world we live in! God Bless you!

I adore this for leftover mashed potatoes, but I never think to make them.

Salami, cheese, and a squirt of stone ground mustard...yummy! The perfect snack or quick lunch.

I'm wondering how many aprons you have. It should be a guessing contest. We make tater cakes in Appalachia too. Not as fancy as yours though. We add raw egg, flour and onion or scallions chopped fine. Brown it in a skillet. Every time my dad walked by the stove he would reach and get him one. We were lucky to get one by supper.
