I am surprised with a man of knowledge. You grow potatoes in a stack of tires. So in harvest, you pull the tires apart . Shake suds free. Work smart not dirt hard.

It is important to remember that a potato gets its nutrients from cheese and sour cream. It's just nature's plate.

I remember that video! Seem to recall it was recored on a potato vision camera as well

[@TheDuckofDoom.]

My memory insists that was Doubleboost, maybe there was some copycat video omage.

[@richardoleson7934]

Hi Duck. You may very well be correct but, to be honest, I've never heard of Doubleboost. I'll have to look him up. Nonetheless, it was as fine an intro to AVE as you could get.

​@@richardoleson7934 I just went back and watched a few, they seem to be referencing each other back and forth through a series of organic machining videos.(swedes, carrots, potatoes) KZbins "8 years ago" isn't precise enough to see which of the videos was first.

[@chaseweeks2708]

I know you gotta use that bit of warmth and insulation way up in frozen cornhole of Hoth, but growing potatoes in containers is so damn much easier that growing the little bastards in the ground. Harvest time, just dump the bucket into a trailer, grab the potatoes, grab the next bucket. None of that back breaking "digging" crap. Love your videos, Man. Glad you're back!

[@arduinoversusevil2025]

I tried em in bags. I found it to be a pain in the ass because of the constant watering. Low yield too.

[@AndrewAlex92]

Maybe bury the bags - might make it easier to pull them up after - even if the bags end up half decomposed

[@jay90374]

Back breaking? LOL, we've done 200 hills for over a decade by hand, never considered it hard, let alone back breaking and I'm a fat old man! I figure I spend maybe at most 8 hours total, per season on the spuds!

Farmer once told me animals don't like starchy food. To wash them before feeding it to them. So maybe soak them before giving the peels to the animals? Or have your better 3/4s feed them instead. Maybe the animals figured out you are fattening them up for the slaughter.

Blanch 'em. 80% freeze 'em. Put 'em in cold oil. Turn on heat to medium. Done when the colour is right ('bout 20 mins). As the oil heats up it does the two fries by itself, no temperature testing required, no pulling out and putting in the fries, no spatter (as the water boils off as the oil gently heats up). Crispy cold-oil fried fries. :)

Yeah alot of my family dont like the potato skin. Wash the dirt off, cut them golden beauties into thin and thick slices and throw them on the bbq. The skin becomes this thin crispy additional treat to the potato.

[@TheDuckofDoom.]

Don't salt the spuds before frying, salt catalyzes the breakdown of the oil so you don't get as many uses from it. The first frying can be low temp like 250f-275 (also extends the oil life), just to cook them to tender, gelatinizes the starch and drives out a tiny bit of surface moisture. (For passers by: the key is to get them cold all the way through before the second frying; room temp is ok, but refrigerated is best [can even freeze them].)
