​@@tiasmith3499Same. I've only had it once, at a multi-course fine dining staff party. Very confidently ordered it, because I love pasta and love potatoes. It was vile. Really rubbery, weird texture. Maybe I need to give it another shot somewhere else.

I still wanna know if she just watches later and screams or if she makes sure she not home when he’s filming or is she far enough away in the house to not hear to say anything. Or maybe he edits out all the times of her texting or calling him or screaming at him from the other room bc there’s no way😂 with these videos before and after Jenna the absolute carnage destruction and hilarious almost injuries that happens in that kitchen how can she not be panicked or screaming or feeling triggered lol I think my final thoughts on this is that she is gone when he films and she might watch it later or she just decides it out of site out of mind also long as the house isn’t burned down or as long as it’s clean when she needs to use the kitchen again and julien isn’t hospital its all good lol lmao

[@cristinaanchini]

Advice from me, an Italian sister: salt the water before you boil the gnocchi, wait at least 1-2 minutes before taking them out and when you melt the butter add in some fresh sage leafs, trust me it takes it to the next level. Good job!!!♥️

[@cristinaanchini]

And btw the ridges are not that important, you could skip that step altogether

[@jessicap.9247]

I love gnocchi so much. Pro tip: it's easier to flip the fork over and run the dough down the curved backs of the tines. They'll break less.

[@Beatrice_bb]

Breaking because he's celiac. He doesn't use white flour so there's no gluten to prevent breaking

[@TheMissBeki]

this. it def works better when u flip the fork :)

[@4mpersan]

@@Beatrice_bb I also use gf flour / egg replacer and find rolling it off the back of a fork is less likely to break. The egg in this recipe is the binder, the flour doesn’t get much opportunity to develop gluten chains like breads do because the dough is only worked until it just comes together to keep it tender.

[@ezra5262]

Julien frantically looking for his lighter while it was in his hand was the most hilarious and relatable part of this video

[@trayvixk4642]

I bet chat lost their minds when Julien said he never had gnocchi. It's not just S tier potato, it's literally S tier pasta. One of the best and super fancy

[@missbeaussie]

Even though it's the same ingredients and it's served at the same restaurants, I've never thought of it as pasta.

[@88Mikje123]

same !! but then i remembered he's celiac and i don't think there's a lot of gluten free gnocchi out there

[@astrog5258]

Julien your basketball/baseball story is exactly why we need potato peeling content. We need these bangers of a story to be heard! Also it’s incredibly relaxing and i actually would watch a potato peeling Yule log.

[@carveylover]

You can shallow fry the tater skins. They are so delicious. Toss them in some salt and whatever else your heart desires. I don't know if it will work for Yukon Gold. They are pretty waxy, but Russet skins work really great.

[@suchnothing]

Why have I never thought of doing this? Thank you for updating my potato game.

[@missglittertron]

I think a 100 potato peeling video where you also tell amusing little anecdotes is what we all NEED for Christmas. You can fry the peels & they're like chips. That's 2 videos in 1! I bake my gnocchi potatoes because it makes them lighter (boiling them can make them a bit waterlogged). Also, a brown butter sage sauce will also make you cry

[@Thegbear]

Fried gnocchi is actually an American invention (sometimes you guys know what’s up). I recommend looking up the original italian methods though, basically just being additions to sauce, it’s incredible.

[@PastaNoodle25]

As a half italian I was very taken aback when he fried it. Looks good, but never had it like that. Usually it’s in the plate after boiling with a marinara sauce and parm.

[@soph-333]

​@@PastaNoodle25 i don't think he fried the gnocchi, he used butter, which is how we typically do it in Italy (usually with sage and parmigiano). If you haven't tried it you def should!

[@PastaNoodle25]

@@soph-333 okay so just finish off in the pan? My nonna never did it that way. But it looks tasty!

[@soph-333]

@@PastaNoodle25 yeah! Technically the gnocchi already cooked, so when you put them in the pan with the butter the flame doesn't even need to be on. Before putting the gnocchi in the pan, you can put fresh sage in with the butter, just until it looses the tough leafy texture, and then you put the gnocchi in

[@candace5769]

you peeling the peeling the potatoes is just what i needed thank you for your service o7

[@Pawsz]

hot tip always cook potatoes from cold medium (water, oven) and heat up along with the medium. they just cook more evenly, it gives them a chance to warm through and conduct the heat more quickly to the center. sorry for not mentioning this sooner.

[@chrism45]

I would also think that cutting it into small pieces or microwaving before even starting to boil would achieve the same exact thing but faster

[@Pawsz]

@@chrism45 cutting them up will always speed up the process, indeed! and microwaving potatoes seems the quickest way to cook them

[@lavenderoh]

I grew up with a friend whose mom was half German and half Italian. I have very fond memories of us sitting around their dining table rolling gnocchi and making späetzle! They were from Ohio though and also served peanut butter sandwiches with chilli??? Idk what that was about but honestly, it's a good combo 😂

[@scandisnowgirl3696]

The peanut butter sandwich served with chili was actually a really common midwestern combo on school lunch trays throughout the 80s and 90s when I was growing up there. There was also almost always a carrot stick on the tray too for some reason 😂

[@lilteletubby]

when i eat chili i GOTTA have a pb sandwich. been doing it since diapers cause my mom and now it feels wrong to eat chili without one

That's so sad :( can you eat parsnip? That might be a decent substitute, they are kind of similar? Though parsnips are slightly sweeter and more fibrous, I think they would work for a lot of potato recipes.

[@marszulo]

@@suchnothing they do work for some, and there are other veggies that replace potatoes, but they just aren't the same. Nothing comes close to a classic potato

12:29 the whispered "that's what she said" had me CRY LAUGHING

[@erinmoore9681]

Watching this from my husbands hospital bedside. Thank you for getting me through some tough times. Also, the ridges from the fork help your flavorings get trapped in there. So your gnocchi will taste buttery/cheesy. After the dust settles, I’d def try this recipe, using the sage infused butter preparation mentioned in the comments.

[@jfgs930]

I think you misunderstood the cold water before boiling potatoes thing - you’re supposed to put potatoes in cold water in the cooking pot so that the water rises in temperature similarly to the potatoes. If you throw room temperature potatoes (or colder) in boiling water, the outside will be over cooked before the inside is done.

[@rachelcombs5102]

Just dropping some culinary advice here. You don't want gnocchi to get too soggy, so typically you'd boil skin on and remove after they're tender. Also, when you boil potatoes for any application, you always start the potatoes in cold water so that they cook evenly.

[@NorseButterfly]

Gnocchi is fantabulous! Once you cut it into pieces, it can be frozen. I highly recommend a vacuum sealer. To use after freezing, place in fridge to thaw, then cook. It can be used as a regular pasta replacement in soup as well. My favorite way to enjoy; topped with pizza sauce and cheese.

[@phoenixflame189]

Potato pierogi are tasty if you ever want another potato dish!! The ones I make are basically seasoned mash potatoes in a crispy, buttery dumpling, but those are my FAVORITE!!

The tapioca is what makes it chewy. Yukon gold potatoes are also quite starchy which also contributes to the chewy texture a bit.

We dutchies have this little thing called "stampot". Made with potatoes mashed together with greens and traditionally gravy and meat (rookworst) and diced bacon. At the end you add mustrerd and if you want the full on dutch upbringing you eat it with applesauce. We have a lot of different kinds such as andijviestampot (andive), spitskoolstampiot (pointed cabbage), boerenkoolstampot (kale), Hutspotstampot (carrot and onion), zuurkoolstampot (sauerkraut) and many more.
