The problem with the non-dispersal of the cream is because you used the mandolin, which made for overly thin and uniform slices that pack too densely. You need more rustic, variable and generally thicker hand cut slices to leave some natural space that will eventually be filled with the liquid.

[@marleneg.7128]

Came here to point that out, had it in France and it was thick slices

[@wolfen1101]

I was hoping someone would address how to fix that, thank you!😀

[@marshawargo7238]

This makes sense! But I was wondering if setting the lid on top to remove while pouring on the cream mix, then put it back on, would work? OR poke more holes only as adding the cream & cover them with garnish?

Use a Turkey injector to inject the cream/ egg mixture. Just a thought

Yukon Gold potatoes were named after the Yukon River that flows through Canada and Alaska. Dr. Johnston selected the Yukon River as inspiration for the potato as he had previously used other river names, such as the Huron and Rideau, for previous potato cultivars. The Yukon River played a historic role as the primary method of transportation in the Klondike Gold Rush from 1896 to 1899. Historians also note that potatoes were a valued commodity among miners, also known as prospectors, during the Gold Rush, further cementing Yukon as a fitting name.

[@simonederobert1612]

[@MicahRanquist1978]

The reason you had difficulty getting the cream mixture to disperse around. The inside of the torte is because your potatoes were too thin and they create a laminated barrier effect… I wouldn’t go any less than a scant quarter inch of thickness on the potatoes.

If, like me, you sometimes spill things on the bottom of your oven, cover it in salt. It will absorb any liquid, stop the burning, and any smoke rolling out of your oven from continuing. Then once the oven is cool, use a firm edged but non-scratchy tool (I use a pancake turner that is metal with a coating on it) dislodge the salt and what it covers. Then use a whisk broom and dust pan to sweep out the oven. Then clean as needed.

[@kaybrown4010]

Great tip!

[@SaraPfeffer]

@@kaybrown4010 Thanks!! Oh and if it's a wet or sticky spill...my normal is pie filling...keep adding salt until it no longer looks wet, and like white salt granules. If it doesn't look like a thick layer of pure white salt, add more salt. I ended up putting almost 2 lbs last Thanksgiving when my turkey broth slipped badly. But dont leave the salt past the oven cooling, depending on what is absorbed, it can put the enamel with repeated heating and cooling cycles.

[@Rowgue51]

Not really. Jamie likes to ham it up for entertainment purposes in the videos, but most of the confusion and mistakes have nothing to do with the recipes. A lot of the recipes are incredibly time consuming and needlessly complex when more simple methods would produce identical results, but there is nothing cryptic about them.

[@kenken6550]

​@@Rowgue51"not really" how? Have you cooked from the early Julia books? They're set up in crazy ways. A recipe will take place in vastly different chapters of the book! It's set up like an old reference book. It does not necessarily read from left to right with just a simple recipe. It's pretty crazy

[@Rowgue51]

@@kenken6550 That's because it's different than a cookbook of random common recipes. Her books are designed to teach you a specific methodology and style of cooking. One that involves the repeated use of many recipes as components of other recipes. You're meant to learn the basic recipes as a foundation and then when you get into the more complex stuff you don't need to refer back to the recipe when something else tells you to prepare one of the mother sauces, etc. It's a perfectly logical way to set things up if you're actually trying to teach people to cook. It's not a good way to set things up for people that are just going to pull the book out once a year and jump straight to one of the most complex things in it as a gimmick.

[@worldsokay-estmom870]

I think something should be named Julia. But I don't know if it should be the food processor. Maybe the mandolin. The food processor could be named Ralph. After Wreck-it- Ralph. The measuring tape could be named Thing after Thing from the Addams Family. Thing was always right there when you needed him. Always real handy. 😏 Or maybe Gomez. I like Gomez better. Even though after Jamie uses the measuring tape he could say, thank you Thing.

Little tip for rolling pastry into a circle: Turn the dough 45 degrees everytime you roll. Because youre lifting it, it prevents sticking to the worktop, leads to less cracks along the edge and because of the even distribution of rolls in all directions all but guarantees a circular outcome. Hope this helps

Tourte Limousine is an attractive recipe from the Limoges region of France and, as an old 4-H kid who spent a lot of time around livestock ... there is a breed of wonderful French beef cattle called Limousin! They are hardy and active, heavily muscled, rich gold in color, have great "fertility," have higher than average dressing percentage (ratio of carcass to live weight) and yield (ratio of meat to carcass), high feed conversion efficiency, and their ability to produce lean, tender meat.

[@constanzeguthier1939]

It's called Pate de pomme de terre in the Limousin.

[@etienne8110]

Yeah it is pâté limousin there. And there should be a pork sausage meat filling. Parsley goes in the pork meat. While cooking the pork meat absorbs the cream and eggs as well as all the lipophilic aromatics from the herbes that went in the fat of the cream and butter. Herbs are parsley and chives, no basil. I know a lot of people use taragon in their familial recipes and I approve.

[@janefrench1731]

Im not sure if it would help spread the cream, but instead of pouring the cream/egg mixture into the pie maybe use a Turkey baster or Turkey injector to get it farther into the pie while tipping it on it's side. And let the pie cool a bit before you pour the cream in there. The egg looks to be cooking as soon as it gets near the hot potatoes so it doesn't spread throughout the potatoes. Just a thought. I'm definitely going to try this though, i think you did a great job! It looks delicious.

[@jessicahaythorpe9375]

It's Saturday morning here in Australia and this looks absolutely delicious for a brunch dish. I'm wondering if maybe the reason the cream mix didn't disperse properly is because the potato slices were cut quite thin? Perhaps if they were thicker they would have held their shape better after the initial cook and allowed space for the cream mix to get between the layers?

[@SarahRenz59]

@Jessica Haythorpe, I was thinking the same thing. The thin potato slices probably fused together, making it impossible for the cream mixture to permeate the dish. Thicker slices would allow more pockets for the cream to get into. An alternative would be to dice the potatoes instead of slicing them, though it would make for a much less elegant presentation. Maybe call that variation Tourte Limousine à la Rustique...?? 😛

[@luminiferous1960]

@@upstreamification I was thinking that perhaps using multiple chimneys around the top crust would not only help steam escape, but also provide more places around the pie to pour in the egg cream mixture to help provide more even dispersal of the egg cream mixture throughout the pie.

Just googled some other recipes for this out of curiosity. Apparently you are supposed to just cut a hole in the pastry crust, lift it up from the potatoes with the handle of a table spoon if necessary, and then pour the mixture on top of the potatoes and under the crust so it seeps through to the bottom of the pie.

Yes, you need the lid cooked like a roof, but I would add the cream on top like this… much easier than through a tiny hole… plus potatoes once cooked are too dense.😊

What a fantastic start to Friday evening! Cheers, Jamie!

You had me at potato. But I would have simply made enough of that creme sauce to put it between all of the layers, and then with my cheese loving self, I would have added parmesan to the creme sauce and when it was done, poured some on the finished potato slice. 🤣Your show is both funny and endearing. Keep it up...I adore you and Julia.☺

[@revafarleyleebiit]

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side

[@aimeeneely4971]

Love your vids!

[@manyachan6983]

I love u!!! Always so happy to see a new video so early❤

[@antichef]

🙌🏼

That looks like a delicious pie to take on a picnic, especially if there’s some ham added to the potato mix. Thank you Jamie for another really enjoyable video; you are one of my 3 favourite KZbinrs.

[@suran396]

I don't even like ham that much, but damn!!! You nailed it!

[@taowright]

Looks so delicious - good job!

[@lesliebarnard1997]

This looks great!

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

I love Potato dishes and this looks sublime! Love you and Julia man! ❤❤😊😊

[@eleriloki6275]

If you love the food processor so much you should name it like you did the Silver Fox. So anyone got any ideas on what the name should be?

[@SarafinaSummers]

Hows about the tazmanian devil? /j

[@gretchen292]

CLASSIC!!!!

[@rkj1978]

I just love your videos

My mother had a glass "funnel" she put in savoury pies. It was specifically made for that purpose. I haven't seen anything like it for years, but I bet Julia had one :). Love your channel!

[@OtherSarah2]

my mom had one -- looked like the top 2'' or so of a coke bottle, thick glass with a kind of spiral pattern.

I'm so impressed with the consistency and value of this series - you're doing fantastic - very much enjoy this as much as any streaming service - cheers :>)yo

[@wpc456cpw]

Agreed! I enjoy it even more cuz it feels more genuine !

[@pepitamerrill8938]

Just brilliant!

[@streips]

I just love your videos and look forward to the news ones all the time! Thank you so much!

[@KatWilton]

Oh, dear... It said 1/4 TEASPOON of sugar, not 1/4 cup.... This is going to be interesting ;-)

[@antichef]

oh my 😂😅

[@KatWilton]

@@antichef I'm just glad it didn't seem to matter (now that I've seen the whole video LOL)

[@berhbaer8292]

It's so late here where i am, but I love your videos and I also just bought a whole bunch of potatoes for next to nothing. Thank you Jamie!

[@macsarcule]

I’m guessing it refers to the French region, Limousin. As the cattle there are called too. Who interestingly were first bred as draft animals to pull ploughs & carts, maybe the reason we have a vehicle today called a limousine. 🙂👍 That cream egg mix is definitely a problem, it’s going to want to set up in a hot pie like that and then not let more thru. I think it would need thicker cut potatoes to flow around the open places between the thick potatoes more easily. 🙂

[@cateburkhart5603]

It is beautiful- the cream will cook and be absorbed on the crust! Great to see other people have problems! But as Julia says - no one is in the kitchen!

[@lavonakirtley9280]

Maybe use either a larger chimney, or more than one

[@lexiepsy]

I’ve never heard about a potato limousine before either! Wow that looks awesome I’m going to give that a try! Great job As always Jamie! 😊

[@karenholley8356]

Mr. Potato Head had one for his travels.

[@rionthemagnificent2971]

when you added a 1/4 c of Sugar to it, it made me think of the time my dad put Sour cream on his pie.. (It was at a buffet, and it was in the desert bar.. but it was SOUR CREAM for the baked potatoes.. while the whipped cream was on the dinner bar. lol yea we informed the manager about the faux pax politely. the resturant rhymes with Bolden Sorral.)

[@victoriawalsh8423]

Lovely dish, and love the vids....

[@happygardener28]

I was thinking your vent was too small for this torte. The other possible reason it didn't flow through the layers was that it could have been too cold/thick and set as soon as it hit the hot potatoes.
