Nice to see Sam representing the next generation. He’s well spoken and so complementary of Mom and his upbringing.

[@TheProvidentPrepper]

Thanks! He is an amazing man :)

Potatoes at Kwik trip in MN this week, ninety nine cents for five pounds, limit two. What a great deal.

[@SasssyPie]

A. Illini years ago, when I was first married, we actually lived on potatoes for a month!!! I learned how to cook potatoes in a LOT of ways, LOL!

[@RyanMercer]

Mmmmm potatoes.

[@WinsomeWinslet]

We grew potatoes in flower pots and raised beds all over the front yard. We're harvesting about 10 pounds a week even on Thanksgiving! Great video on this subject!

[@tooshieg2059]

There is nothing sexier than a man in an apron, in the kitchen, making mashed potatoes!! Luv ya Sam! Missed seeing Sammy. Thanks for sharing.

[@dianehansen7640]

I’m a baked potato fan!! Open it up …. add roast beef and brown gravy…. or broccoli and cheese… or chicken chunks with cream gravy and peas….or chili with cheese and minced onion….or …..whatever! Yum!!! 😋

My wife always loved her "Braun" and said so every time she used it. Potatoes are an AMAZING food. They actually have ALL the aminos acids so they count as a complete protein. You can actually easily live on only potatoes. There's actually a potato diet that I tried for several months. Penn Gillette lost more than two hundred pounds on this diet. The only rules are to eat potatoes, drink water. Some salt and pepper are allowed as is coffee if you must. Frying the potatoes is discouraged on this diet, that that still leaves SO many ways to prepare potatoes. Oh, and there are lots of vitamins in the skins so eat them any way you can. The Irish lived on these for centuries. It was the potato blight that caught them, but that's because they used only one variety. Remember "The Martian"? He lived on just potatoes after he was left behind on Mars. Sure, it's fiction, but the principle is still true.

[@sharondowling9170]

Very funny and inspiring .Thanks! He is a good son!

[@That.Lady.withtheYarn]

Potato is life. So it’s cheese. I compost my potato peels. I’m going to start saving some of my potato water now :)

[@lovinglife3954]

Nice to see the next generation. Well done.

[@philw7174]

Very good, thank you Sam. Happy trails!

[@Utah_Mike]

Sam you are smashing these frugal friendly series 💯

[@juliabrown5948]

Agreed 💯!

[@jackgoldman1]

Potato man lived on nothing but potatoes for one year, reviewed on line. His heath improved because he lost 100 pounds. All his vital signs improved. Potatoes may be the perfect food with some supplements.

[@EileenSpeakman]

Good morning. I love the buried chest freezer used as a root store, what a clever idea. I have "instant mash" in my store cupboard - in packets. I haven't seen canned potato flakes. And as I am on my own a big can may not be ideal? I don't find instant mash very tasty, so I grate hard cheese on a very fine microplane grater (shredder) and add that. It makes a very good mashed potato, and can be used as a topping on cottage pie. UK. E ❤

[@ladyjusticesusan]

I love Sam’s humor. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@Junzar56]

I got a bunch of potatoes -99 cents for five lbs. it’s time to make Lefse!

[@altha-rf1et]

Have not watched you in a while, do not even think Anyway thanks for actually showing prepping stuff unlike some other I call key board preppers all they do is talk about wwllll all the time

[@marygallagher3428]

Enjoyed the demonstrations Sam!

[@nancymcdaniel4733]

Nice to see you Sam! I make funeral potatoes with shredded potatoes🙂

[@jennifermcgarrity7169]

I make those too. I add bacon to them. It is an unfortunate name for something so good

[@DistillMySoul]

My Dad eats potatoes 2x a day. I won't say how much butter he uses, but he loves potatoes! He's 84 and, not kidding, looks forward to them each day lol

[@rlcarpenter80]

I’m growing more potatoes in the house in buckets over winter.

[@teslabot5650]

yes apartment potatoes to go with my Apartment Quail

[@jackgoldman1]

Favorite potato recipe. Heat until soft, boiled, baked, mashed, add a diary, sour cream, cream cheese, what ever, and eat.

[@EileenSpeakman]

Stick blender. Great for soups. Mine came with a tall quite narrows container, stops the soup splashing out.

[@zippy1078]

What i'd really like to see is how you made that root cellar out of a freezer

[@kathygarner419]

Sam: One reason people throw potato peels/skins away is because most commercially sold potatoes have anti-sprouting agents sprayed on them to extend their shelf life. Those chemicals are not healthy for you and can't always be washed away. I am not sure if organic potatoes are sprayed that might be something to look into. Homegrown potatoes I would not hesitate to eat their skins, because you know exactly what they have been treated with. You should have Sam make more videos. I love him he is so humorous and honest. I would like to have a root cellar like the one you have improvised from an old freezer, but I live in town in a neighborhood full of small children. I would have to keep it locked at all times and be constantly chasing away neighborhood pets.

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

Wish you had a written recipe for those spuds! They look delicious!

[@ogcabbage6213]

Potatoes are on the dirty dozen list for very high amounts of pesticides , grow your own, or buy organic.

[@Rose-i9n8t]

Good job, Sam!

[@olivialangton9535]

I do love potatoes, but unfortunately they have a high glycemic content which can contribute to Diabetes 2 so I try to eat them sparingly. I don’t have diabetes. Loved your recipe! I

[@jackgoldman1]

Mashed potatoes without sour cream is like sex without love. LOL

[@HabitualButtonPusher]

If you live in a southern state or the west I would grow Yucca. Super easy crop and a fantastic starch

[@juliabrown5948]

Can yucca grow in Oregon I wonder?? When do you plant and harvest?

[@americanrestoration4545]

Well done! Thank you!

[@MichaelR58]

Good video, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !

[@Tjensen999]

The potato skin is where most of the nutrients are. Think of your grocery store layout - most of the produce is on the perimeter walls and not in the center isles. 😊

[@JainMonroe]

my grandmother, who lived in a time of famine, said that potato skins can also be fried in fat, so they can be used, for example, as a side dish

[@FocusingOnChrist]

Allow me to share the easiest way to make mashed potatoes. Scrub your taters and pop them in the microwave until soft. Mine takes 18 minutes for a big batch. Set up your kitchen aid stand mixer with the triangle looking attachment. Turn it on an throw the entire potato in, one at a time. Add in a stick of butter and let it mix away for a minute or two. That’s it. The mixer tears the skins apart, mashed the potatoes, melts and mixes in the butter. So easy, I make this multiple times a week for my large family.

[@citygirlhomestead]

love that cooler would love to see how you guys did that

[@danam.8709]

They did a video on the install. You'll have to check the lists, sorry.

[@JainMonroe]

this porridge recipe is really old, somewhere it is said that it comes from the 1700s, but of course it could be an older recipe As far as I know, potato porridge is a food from Kainuu Finland, so those who live outside of Kainuu probably don't know much about this food. Ingredients for 2 servings: -10-12 potatoes - 3-4 tablespoons of barley flour Boil the potatoes in plenty of boiling water. After the potatoes are cooked, pour off the cooking water and mash the potatoes. Add salt and boiling water while stirring the porridge. (At this point, I put the porridge back on the warm stove if it is not). After the water, add flour while stirring to avoid flour lumps, the amount of flour depends on how much water there was and how thick you want the porridge to be. Let it boil for a while before serving. when you take the porridge on a plate, put a piece of butter in the porridge

[@danam.8709]

As a kid, it was my job to make sure the sprouts were popped off the potatoes to extend their firmness.

[@Oldstylestoryteller]

In older times in europe it was common to have a potatoe-cellar (A well insulated room( ducked into the earth ( so it was frost free during thr winter for storarege of vegetables ( mes was salted or smoked and kept hanging on a nail where mice and rats were unable to reach it) they were clever in the good old days!

[@kitbaker1629]

As a kid liked a peeled potato, raw with salt, better than apple.

[@terryleecone9675]

❤❤❤

[@Babu-kr3cr]

I like the part where the potatoes leapt up at him when using the hand mixer.

[@cabinfevernanna5897]

Can we get your mom's recipe for potato bread Sam? Your adopted old lady Sister... haha

[@sula1529]

Inexpensive? They are unbelievably expensive right now

[@davej7458]

With homegrown potatoes, I definitely eat the skins. Store potatoes are treated, and I don't use those skins. Potatoes, rice, beans. Don't just store them, learn how to really cook with them.

[@paxorra5528]

Another potato dish: Norwegian Potato Flatbread (Lefse)

[@b.c.5639]

Pork chops without applesauce.🙃

[@cabinfevernanna5897]

Garlic in mashed potatoes

[@b.c.5639]

I don’t think I’ve eaten a potato that I didn’t like.

[@JainMonroe]

I eat potatoes with their skins on

[@ItsEverythingElse]

You don't need satiety in a survival situation. Satiety is for dieting.

[@brianbehunin2443]

Funeral potatoes are the best.

[@roninbudo]

HOW ABOUT JUST FREEZE DRY THEM

[@DangerZone-w6y]

As everyone gets ready to celebrate Thanksgiving...let's stop for a moment and consider our health! Consider for a moment the food that you're consuming! Potatoes ARE NOT A GOOD CHOICE FOR KEEPING YOU SATIEATED... SORRY KIDDO- BUT HIGH CARBS -WHICH POTATOES ARE VERY HIGH IN CARBS.. ARE BAD FOR YOUR WASTELINE PERIOD.
