Martha Stewart Teaches You How to Make Potatoes | Martha's Cooking School S3E11 "Potatoes"

In this episode, Martha offers a primer on this favorite starch. She begins with Scalloped Potatoes, also known as Potatoes Gratin: thinly sliced potatoes cooked in milk and baked in a cream mixture with cheese. Next comes a recipe that’s become synonymous with American food: Potato Salad. Then, in case your go-to mashed potato recipe needs an upgrade, Martha shows a few tricks to achieve the perfect Puréed Potatoes. Finally she shows how, in just a few easy steps, anyone can make Smashed Potatoes - crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside.

[@jeanlaubenthal698]

Martha’s presentation of her recipes are so inviting. I also love her elegant and warm speaking …along with her vocabulary is delightful!

[@adammartin6447]

Forget Food Network, I want to watch Martha all the time. I just love her style.

[@susanrussell8195]

I’ve never thought of cooking potatoes with a steamer basket or using mesh strainer to purée. Great lesson today for even experienced home cooks.

[@kathleenwassum7712]

Honestly, I watch many chef and home cooks videos, but when I watch you, all my stress leaves me; a Smile comes over my Face, and I just KNOW That I Can Do This! THERAPY? YOUR VOICE AND PERSONALITY?? I do not know!! But you are an unbelievable beautiful and amazing person and teacher, and I’M HOOKED!♥️🙏🏼👍🥂😘

[@michael8596]

Hi 👋 Kathleen how is the weather over there?

[@levialers]

Love this. I learned how to cook years ago by binge watching recorded episodes of your shows Long before binge watching was a thing.

[@slyeung6562]

Mrs. Stewart, Thanks so much for your teaching .

[@janelleetsitty36]

Martha's voice is sooo calming, kind of dosed off there for a sec 😆 but, I just adore her.

[@phil4208]

I watched Julia as a boy making mashed potatoes, she would get so excited , I use the old fashioned masher , with butter, milk , roasted garlic, sour cream and chives , you are very inspirational Martha im heading to Aldi right now to buy more potatoes, it's only a 2 min walk, loved your tag sale show also , that was alot of stuff and it looked very successful and to a great cause, you are an American institution loved the world over

[@helpfulnatural]

I too prefer to use an old fashioned potato masher vs an electric mixer.

[@ArtemisSilverBow]

I remember Julia doing that too. Going to get some potatoes too!

[@vickidash-slesinski746]

What a great idea of cooking the potatoes ahead of time in milk!

[@aprilbuelin4168]

Thank you martha for all you do

[@elcehl]

Thank you for explaining which potatoes to use in each recipe, starchiest vs.waxier 👍💯

[@kathleenaustin327]

The Greek use olive oil and dill in potato salad. Yummy

[@lisagiuliano4584]

Anything is easier when you have a good group of people helping

[@sandybowman7140]

Magical! I love the detail + especially how diff potatoes behave (waxy, starchy, etc). U are such an inspiration Martha, I love how u embellish my cooking fund of knowledge!

[@ilonawaksmundzki7181]

Ciocia Kasia really knows how to make a good potato salad! Depends on the region of Poland you come from some ingredients varies. In general this is the base of potato salad.

[@blorac9869]

Clone this woman! Enjoyed, TYVM!

[@missingcdaniel]

I love Martha! So intelligent!!

[@RoadsterKaren]

Ooh, the Puree technique would work to make Greek Taramasalata because when I puree the potatoes in the food processor they get gluey just like Martha said. Hmm. 🤔

[@roannthompson2424]

Taramasalata

[@RoadsterKaren]

@@roannthompson2424 yes, I love taramasalata!! 😋

[@carolking6355]

On my honeymoon we stayed in the best hotel and I had cold potato salad at lunch a couple of times. It was delicious. It was winter but who cares when you are young.

[@sjnelson51]

Excellent method. Delicious.

[@fatimahjoof2506]

Thanks Martha for all you recipes I follow them all and right down some in my recipe book especially the baking/pastry part because am currently in a culinery school From the Gambia

[@elpidafarleka4637]

Many thanks for all these good advice. Many kisses from Greece!

[@helpfulnatural]

I make smashed potatoes as a side with Christmas dinner. They're a big hit! :)

[@slyeung6562]

Beautiful ! Thanks.

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

I like some hardboiled egg pieces IN my potato salad .... I also usually add a little dill pickle juice and some more spices ... celery salt is great and finely chopped onions for delicious, fresh crunch. And for "puree" or mashed potatoes, I have a ricer that takes all the lumps out quickly ... much faster.

[@Toluca47]

I like mashed potatoes with some lumps. Most mashed potatoes I see these days are like baby food. I'm glad you called it pureed potatoes and not mashed potatoes.

[@seygra20]

Agreed. A little texture is fine as long as it is soft. The overly smooth potatoes does look like baby food.

[@elgaen555]

The brown butter mashed potatoes give me the chills 😋

[@mariahradesky9307]

I usually cook with the russet or golden potato and have had the red potato in restaurants but the blue variety is new to me. Does it taste different? If I made mashed potatoes out of the blue, would it really be a consistent blue color? That could be fun for the kids.

[@kusinanijunior]

This is Amazing!thank you for sharing Martha..

[@lindaconner5955]

I love potatoes any way looks so yummy an delicious

[@jolynnjohnson8858]

great job wow

[@lucybirdsong8632]

Excellent, thank you 👍🏻👨🏻‍🦳👩🏻‍🦳🇺🇸❤️🇨🇱🤠😎🙏🏻

[@lisanowakow3688]

Yum!

[@1m2rich]

Mak3s my mouth water.

[@cindyhauert2339]

I’m sure those puréed potatoes are amazing, but I’m also sure I’m never going to make them. Nobody will know the difference if I just mash and put some butter and cream in.

[@berylbattrick1246]

THANKS, MARTHA, I NEEDEDTHIS INFORMATION, BEEN STRUGGLING, TO BE ABLE TO GET THE RIGHT INFORMATION.

[@ciantapinit1748]

yummy

[@leadingkitchenbysumaira]

Wow very well explained how to cook potatoes in different ways keep it up let's stay connected

[@joannaluca8495]

The potato salad doesn’t look appetizing. Otherwise, always learning from Martha.

[@seygra20]

Agreed. the watery dressing is a bit odd

[@silverleafmaple]

❤️wourder❤️

[@sahabshraddha8453]

Love🥔🧀it ❤️

[@joevespa3157]

Hey Martha

[@DeborahCaldwell77]

Neat

[@Erik-vw8fc]

Martha has a mean side. However, she treats potato's nice and delicious. REALISTICALLY, DO A POTATO IN A MICROWAVE.... less drama.

[@Iamwhoiam993]

🥔🥔🥔🥔

[@dfa3366]

I think I gained 5 pounds watching this.
