Tater Tots | Byron Talbott

[@AS53094]

LOL the face he's making when he's flouring the potatoes...that's the face of an artist at work

[@byrontalbott2742]

Or someone who is way too concentrated on my making tater tots...😉

[@AS53094]

Exactly :) You should see some sculptural artist demos, they all do this!

[@aliceattran]

hahaha I went back to rewatch after reading your comment, so funny!! :))

[@woodlandexplorers]

Could you have a "sauce/dip" week? Where you go through making fresh, homemade sauces/dips (i.e. Ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, etc). I'd love to make my own so I know what's in it and I know that's right up your alley😊

[@byrontalbott2742]

What a great, awesome, incredible, fantastical idea!! #SauceWeek has to happen..

[@ScuderiaAzzurri]

I'll take a 7:30 min video from Byron rather than watching crappy reality shows on the food network any day. Keep on making awesome videos and kickass recipes.

[@byrontalbott2742]

Dang!!! This comment just made my friggin DAY!! Thanks for watching and I'll try to keep up the posts. You're awesome!!!

[@ScuderiaAzzurri]

That's awesome! gotta give credit where credit is due and you are so much fun to watch. I'm actually starting culinary school in 3 days and am nervous, but getting to see you create these recipes from start to finish inspires me to do the same thing.

[@Funfoods]

I never knew how to make tater tots from scratch. Thanks for sharing Byron!

[@IsaiahWu]

The whole time: DONT SCRATCH YOUR HAND ON THE GRATER!!!

[@Aishiez]

***** HAHAH yeah i was scared for him lol

[@allysonmarie3823]

Happened to me before, but with those sharper graters for zests. Peeled off a thick piece of my skin. 0.0

[@mfl7916]

Allyson Marie ouch!

[@aliceattran]

I was worried too.. he grated it sooo close :3

[@jeffmckenzie7282]

Added flavor and protein, if he cuts himself.

[@KingShammyyyy]

I used to come on KZbin to watch random crap. Now I come to KZbin to watch your videos. I don't even like watching other cooking videos because yours are so simple and straight forward. Keep up the good work!! Your cooking channel is my favorite!

[@x0tay492]

i love how you actually taste the foods. most youtubers who cook/bake, dont taste their foods. it gives people an idea to see if they are going to like it or not. of course people have different taste buds, but its still really convienient and awesome to do that! keep doing what you are doing! your foods look amazing!!

[@xtaylorxboyx]

Why do you put such a intense face on while placing the potatoes on the spider?

[@ByronTalbott]

xtaylorxboyx My concentration comes out in weird forms sometimes.. LOL!

[@modenajon]

Why do you give a shit about the faces he makes? Fucking troll.

[@xtaylorxboyx]

Jonathan Arnold i was asking not trolling.. pls..

[@allmightywizard1601]

+Jonathan Arnold Rude.

[@toshiornamillington9274]

he's in his element

[@vasseurbeauty]

These look so delicious! Your food videos are my absolute favorite on youtube & the quality of your production is amazing. Would you mind telling me what lens you use? I've bought a few and none give the quality as good as yours!! I've been trying to figure it out for awhile now haha

[@byrontalbott2742]

You're way too nice!! My channel is definitely a work in progress, but I really appreciate the compliment. I use a canon 6D and switch between the Canon L 50mm 1.2 prime and Canon L 100mm macro lenses. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!!

[@vasseurbeauty]

thank you so much for responding! I really appreciate it.

[@_mikaeladai]

VasseurBeauty that's not really him.

[@silvermediastudio]

VasseurBeauty Quality lighting (natural or artificial) also makes an enormous difference in image/video quality... whether you use a $1500 50mm f/1.2L, or a $400 50mm f/1.4.

[@BenjiManTV]

dang, can't believe you pressed those all!

[@TheCookiedoughyum]

Benjiiiii just finished watching the vlog

[@TycipreyllThirhe]

+Benji Travis HHHNNNNNNNNNG!!!

[@howardhadley9347]

I would have used a pastry bag and pipe out the pillows

[@DaisyMilk]

I always love putting in that extra little bit of work. It always makes any dish just a bit better. Wether it's making the dish look good, or taking the long wholesome way with the prep. It always makes me feel good afterwards.

[@reneewright6956]

I'm a fairly new subscriber, I can't recall which recipe search I did that led me to your page, but I'm so glad for it! Love, love, love, the use of fresh ingredients, the creativity, and above all, baking/cooking from scratch. I love tater tots, too,so this video was a special treat for me. Happy Friday, everyone!

[@byrontalbott2742]

Welcome to my little foodie family!!! Thanks for the sub and I'll try to keep up the delicious recipes! Any requests??

[@Sarah07707]

I discovered your channel just a while ago and I can't stop watching your videos! Oh my God you're so incredibly talented and I'm just over here drooling lol. Will definitely be trying many of your recipes as they're easy to make and extremely DELICIOUS! Thank you for posting and sharing with us your work!

[@ericlanlard]

Your tasting part is always so so good and really want me to cook your dishes ... #perfect !! Eric

[@Nuuudlful]

I love that you cook so Calm and soft no fast Stressed moves it's Really relaxing :D

[@TheJoanna5]

oh my gosh my favorite part is at the end when you taste the food, i could literally feel the food in my mouth!!!!!

[@MsSportychic11]

Love all your videos could you do a series of fresh healthy summer must haves

[@mahjabeena9426]

Can you make a video on growing your own herb garden .... THE HOW TO's especially when in an apartment.. Thank You

[@maddiemomy]

I've been looking out for you! Thanks for being back Byron Talbot I enjoy every single of your recipes, u cook w a super finesse! Thanks again!

[@juanaparral9787]

I love these videos that are simple to make and user friendly!

[@TheRealAnita]

Maybe if you piped out a long strand of the potato mixture with a piping bag and a round nozzle you could then cut the strand into individual tater tots with a knife? I dunno if that would work, but could be a time saver.

[@themandigirl]

TheRealAnita I think that sounds like it would work....and save time shaping each one individually! Thanks for the idea!

[@kayleehall257]

That sounds like a GREAT idea!

[@silvermediastudio]

TheRealAnita Can also be done with the extrusion attachment on a kitchenAid or hand-mill, for larger batches. What's also fun is to stuff them with cheese.

[@Gam3r5t93]

His voice is so relaxing

[@blaackberry]

I LOVE how much food you end up frying! I could watch you fry things forever lol

[@ncadillac214]

Byron what is the difference of baking with with skin on and peeling after as opposed to peeling them raw and baking them?

[@julianguyen9295]

Watching these videos is honestly therapeutic

[@ShanaMoore]

LOVE your video quality! these look so delicious!

[@minhnguyen9274]

Are those bascially mini Hashbrowns? (I am from Europe so I don't know) :D But looks delicious !

[@pcszeng]

minhimouse Yes, American's take on hashbrowns but made into a more compact and bite size feature..

[@campbellfinch3288]

I agree with what phang said, but we also have hashbrowns

[@jenjenni3885]

In Switzerland these are called Kroketten and hashbrowns are called Rösti 😊 anyways... Everything with potatoes is delicious

[@minhnguyen9274]

Jennifer Heiz Stimmt, an Kroketten hab ich jetzt gar nicht gedacht! :D Danke!

[@victoria4]

Lol I've never though of them like that! But yes

[@nkim39]

Video on creating chopped salad with couscous, corn, and smoked salmon, etc.?!

[@ericzhao0210]

where did u get ur potatoes, mine looked very sad while yours look happy

[@jenniferle4294]

First video I ever watched in this channel and the first ten seconds I was like I think I'm gonna enjoy this channel!

[@catherinerittenhouse1683]

Is there a way to bake instead of fry? I don't eat fried foods lol

[@MariamSRE]

Was just going to ask the same thing. I quit fried anything months ago. I miss tater tots!

[@DonyeaMosley]

Y?

[@brooke2248]

Catherine Bezy he's asking why you don't eat fried food lol

[@catherinerittenhouse1683]

Cucumber Salad i was meaning the one below it saying the word bi+ch .....i don't eat fried foods because it's bad for you. Really i like steaming but i will bake too. :)

[@JGZulu]

Catherine Bezy On what planet would steaming tater tots yield crispy tater tots?

[@eligar7830]

I need to make a big batch of these for the guys at our hunting camp on one of my weekends at chow duty. Making them ahead will be key….. what would be the best way to freeze and store them to stock up until I have enough?

[@allyssawall8155]

could you go on with nerddy nummies? That would be soooo cool. maybe show each other something that you made from scratch and do a "how to"? Just an Idea. I subscribed! You are the next best (male) pastries chef!

[@ByronTalbott]

allyssa wall Brilliant!

[@allyssawall8155]

ByronTalbott thank you

[@LeeShaniquee]

That'd be sooo cool

[@MissSamanthaCompton]

Ugh I'm drooling. I'm definitely making these.

[@InTheKitchenWithJonny]

They look fabulous

[@dianekeetan]

I'd love to see an around the world series where you could feature popular dishes from all over the world. That and Asian week would be fantastic!

[@AlexanderWu4587]

Classic kid food, but I'd go for some spicy mayo instead of ketchup to mix things up. All in all, one of my favorite potato recipes of all times! Great job Byron!

[@arishakkky]

can you pleaseee do pizza bagels !!! please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thuydang1044]

Omg it's so easy. I eat it almost every week! Just take some pizza sauce or any marinara sauce and put it on the bagel. Add some mozzarella and pepperoni or any topping of your choice and bake it in the oven until the bottom is crispy. It's so good!!

[@drk321]

***** Stoner bachelor food. What next?

[@arishakkky]

Thuy Dang ikr , but he always has a twist to stuff lol so i wanna see how he makes his

[@silvermediastudio]

drk321 Oh yeah, and no stoner has ever had tater tots after getting baked. Never happened.

[@mainshmulik4478]

HSMK

[@14sneakypeak]

Instead of baking the potato, can I steam it? I really want to make this, but I don't have any oven/microwave.

[@coachgirl82]

Now I feel like making these right now (and it's currently 2:33am). Can't wait to try this recipe. I LOVE tater tots

[@alicsakurai]

Hi Byron, if you make heaps and want to freeze them is it better to freeze them before frying or fry them first and then freeze them so you just have to heat them up later?? Thank you and they look so delicious!

[@FortheLoveofOrganizing]

Would have never thought to add herbs. Beautifully done!

[@umangpatel7828]

Would you do a week where you make foreign food like Indian food, etc

[@TheTeddyWG]

your beard is on point today

[@kadooji87]

I love this recipe idea ♡ will definitely try it .. thank you & wish you all the best

[@ericzhao0210]

What did you do with the oil?

[@abhisheknandi2464]

Use a chocolate truffle mould. dust then with flour then spread the potato mixture. scrape off extra and demould. u can make many at once. shape will be uniform

[@dinkypoo92mkm]

these are so kid friendly i love it.

[@Pocketstash]

Made these today- I recommend putting Parmesan or garlic (or both) on them.

[@silvermediastudio]

pocketstash OMG that's genius!

[@kimberlyhowe6754]

These look amazing! Byron, if you were to bake these what temperature and the amount of time would you bake them for?

[@dianashariff96]

This is so easy. I am so gonna try this! Thanks for sharing this recipe Byron. Have a nice day ahead 👍🏻

[@AlyenasKitchen]

Beautiful recipe! Love your cylinder mold to make them! 💞

[@emilyfung6342]

It's early in the morning and I'm craving this... For breakfast!!!

[@afafjuma6614]

I just love your work! You deserve more subscribes!

[@laspinas1986]

I love that grater! Really nice and simple recipe. Will try it!

[@clarencealexander4954]

I watched this before and book marked it, think I will try these real soon. Byron your the man love you dude, anyone that loves ketchup in my book is great. Thanks much.

[@priscillaly4748]

Can you freeze them after dusting with all purpose flour and then fry for later use?

[@evenaji1650]

Caramel swirl muffins please!! Yum I'm for sure going to try this recipe

[@bgcuvee]

Byron, Great Recipe! Do Tater Tots can be store in freezer for making bunch and use them (fry or over)? How long can they be kept in freezer? is there way to make them last longer? (since i notice using fresh herbs during the process) Thank You

[@kalebrief3514]

I love these videos I love learning how to make so much food!

[@dkwak101]

Was curious... does salting the potatoes before you bake them draw moisture from them or flavor them? Does it assist the baking process?

[@karencastablanca9204]

Byron! I saw your Bank of America commercial and got all excited like "omg I know this guy! I watch him make food!"

[@truckermike9105]

Very nicely done mate! I normally just go to the store in the frozen and get a huge bag. Most times i toss them in the oven lol because im always busy so dont have much time to fry... U did an awesome job man!

[@pamelaquander8485]

Can I add corn starch to the flour mixture and just mix everything into the bowl. Question if I microwave them for about how long. I also have French fry seasoning Can I use this for them.

[@NootNoot]

The perfect cafeteria food x3! I loved getting these in elementary and middle school.

[@Hopejoycoffee]

How can people dislike an awesome video about making tater tots?!!

[@shanmukhaoo9]

Hi Byron, really appreciate your recipes and its inspiring :) I have a question, can we roast these in the oven instead of frying them in the oil? Looking at a healthier version :P

[@Moonmoon-rh1mc]

Omg you got so close to the grater. I have to leave like an inch at least. I waste a lot of food but i do have an attachment to all my fingers.

[@gloriawinborne]

minus all the seasonings (since i've not had them that way, LoL) im so excited to try these! probably a lot better for me and my family too then that already made stuff, good job Byron!! can't wait to try.. Rachel probably enjoys being your taste tester too, LoL pretty soon Oliver will too!!

[@DaniDeAnne]

I'm totally going to make these. Instead of molding them I think I'll use a pastry bag and chop them off as I squeeze them out. Easy peasy.

[@painlesslife]

LOL 3:20 Byron's just grimacing all the way

[@rintube12]

great recipe, looks delish! i think i'll lightly sift the flour and spread out the shredded potatoes then use the small shape cutter!

[@avasaghafi7405]

You should do a video on your take on fried rice! It's a bit random but I haven't found any decent fried rice recipes on KZbin. Just an idea I thought I'd share 😊

[@erikamooneyham86]

Could you use an electric grater, or would it make the potato to mushy?

[@PhuongiiDice]

Can I omit the last dusting of flour on the tots if I bake them instead of frying them? Thank you!!

[@jmuni8063]

Would you be able to get all of your 'tater tots' mixture, put it in a block as tall as the instrument you use to make them with and then make them like scones? Thanks

[@ThebigDG51]

I must admit that I never thought of making homemade tater tots. Now I have to try them. I am sure they are much tastier than frozen ones because you can put anything you want into the mixture. Thanks Byron. Glad you are back with us.

[@redx2122]

how would you go about baking them? spray with cooking oil and toss in the over at 400?

[@namzie]

Just curious, why do you salt the potato before baking?

[@meherunbegum9092]

Which potato slicer machine you use in this video and potatoes shaping ring also

[@simranmendonca5393]

what is the alternate way to bake otatoes if i dont have an oven? howcan i use the microwave?

[@curlsandnodes8886]

Mr. Talbott, would you please consider making a random video this summer showing us how to make watermelon lemonade? Please.

[@MadameEllybear]

Watermelon lemonade sounds refreshing as heck.

[@MySpiritualShenanigans]

This seems so simple! Thanks byron! :) I had a question - what if we dip and roll around the potato cubes/whatever-shape in the flour instead of sprinkling and risking sides being left out? Thanks in advance for your reply :)

[@ChubbynConx]

after I shape them, can I froze them and fry when needed instead of frying them straight away? If can, how long can I store it for?

[@MsAgressive92]

Saw your Taco de Ropa Vieja video and now your Tater Tots video.... Amazed, Didn't know you made them like that.... SUBSCRIBED!!!! =]]

[@marthachildofgod2776]

YAY, I loved these when I was little but they weren't homemade!!! This is Def going to be a Stable at our table!!! Thanks Byron, God bless u and ur family💜👍

[@anaid1628]

I just saw you on a commercial for Bank of America! Nice video love all your recipes :)

[@mellowqueen7838]

Can you do a video on stuffed crust pizza. Preferably cheese in the crust. And spinach leaves as one of the toppings. Please and thank you.

[@sarahkim5532]

could you do a strawberry cheesecake recipe? i cant find a good recipe anywhere, and its my mothers favorite!

[@Elamdri]

I don't get the point of salting the potatoes and then skinning them. Why not just salt the flaked potato?

[@claireiskewl]

My guess is that it adds a deeper salt flavour to the potato

[@ByronTalbott]

Elamdri Believe it or not, the salt actually pulls moisture from the skin/meat of the potato and yields a really fluffy/dry interior. If the interior (meat) of the potato has a lot of moisture after it's done baking it can affect the results of the given recipe... Just food for thought.

[@gloriinher40s]

ByronTalbott Thank you for explaining that! It's one of those random things I've always wondered but never bothered to look up or ask lol.

[@ThereseMarieCordero]

Basically what he explained has a scientific explanation, its called osmosis. As the salt concentration increases in its environment, the potato will release more water to compensate the high solute concentration.

[@devinequisenberry9542]

I know right

[@hernandezm724]

Can you please make a video on a quick mothers day breakfast. I need ideas pleasse!!! :D

[@conordoogan2182]

Byron, I made your baked s'more recipe, and everyone loved it!!

[@betterworkitout]

I'm dying to know why you salt the potatoes before you bake them if you are peeling them anyhow. Im also wondering if you dont stab them with a fork or if you just dont show that part

[@soniapallikunnel1690]

Is it possible to use Yukon gold or Yellow potatoes instead of Idaho potatoes?

[@roxiegimeda9175]

I don't have an oven, would boiling the potatoes work?

[@mariavelasquez4051]

I've been searching for a marble tuxedo truffle mousse cake video. could you be able to make a how to video?

[@youreanonshareer]

"Heavily salt them" he put like a teaspoon of salt for those two huge potatoes lmao

[@SushiLover1990]

hi Byron, I don't think you have a video for this but can you please show us how to make a proper buttercream?

[@oNoviceArtisto]

Hi, I just had a quick question about these tots! They look delicious, but they are time consuming, do you think they would freeze well? I often make meals in advance for time saving, or simply cook too much, so just wondered! :)

[@jenxc1213]

I always love your vids! Can't wait to try this
