MY NEW FAVORITE THING TO DO WITH MASHED POTATOES THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE! | SAM THE COOKING GUY

[@Hawksfan0012]

To prevent losing the fillings when deep frying, grab all 6 taquitos in one hand and dip the ends into the frying oil first, for about 20 seconds. Both sides. Then fry as usual. No filling loss and crispy ends. 👍

[@joeb4142]

That sounds safe 😳

[@diegodlv1001]

​@@joeb4142 mother tested, abuela approved 👌

[@DeathBYDesign666]

I would just eat the little chips that it makes, I would bet they are even better than potato chips. As long as they aren't burnt I'm sure they would be just fine to eat and be tasty for that matter. Besides if it wasn't for the cheese they probably wouldn't have lost any filling.

[@dlawlessloyd]

Killer!!!

[@kyssedbyfyre915]

OMG TYSVFM!!!! That's the fundamental Flauta tip I've been needing!👏

[@yoitsli0n]

Grew up with these. Also, the fold in half and fry tacos dorados de papa.... Even better. Once they're all fried up, pop that thing open and fill it with your favorite toppings. In our family we usually do cabbage, crema, and tomatillo/Chile de arbol salsa. 🤌🤌🤌🥹

[@fernandoyanez6636]

And the cotija chesse, with a little of avocado can never fault❤

[@aribella6913]

Fried cabbage and onions! So good.

[@bngr_bngr]

I’m getting hungry.

[@john-j7e7e]

i like them with longanisa.

[@nancyleitner6396]

I like using milk instead of water for the potatoes. So good. Love you guys.

[@sarahkeefe14]

Friend from Canada here - I've done something similar with spring roll wrappers! We call them crispy mash. Make up the potatoes, spoon them in, fry them as well, then top them with a little bit of sour cream, cheese, bacon bits and green onion - soo good!

[@strumminronin]

Asian in England, here. Your blasphemous, barbaric use of spring roll pastry impress me, bigly. Now ima use parmesan in there with ham hock, serve on a bed of rockett salad. Thanks and oss.

[@bunns420]

Tacos de papa. A staple in any mexican household! Using real potatoes, though. Usually folded in half, not rolled, but tomato tomahto. Try adding chorizo next time. Papa con chorizo is where its at! Top with lettuce, crema, queso fresco and salsita. 🤤 Sometimes i just dip them in guac too without everything else. 🔥

[@DanWhite1025]

That sounds epic! Trying that for sure! Cheers!

[@Eriugena8]

man, these guests are getting choosy 😘

[@Boblabla79]

I was thinking chorizo too!!! 😋

[@armandolapeda5367]

*chorizo con papa

[@dorab2402]

This is the poor man’s taco in Mexico 🇲🇽 still a favorite from my childhood 😊

[@meandyou1914]

The HOME of these tacos are San Luis Rio Colorado Sonora Mexico. OMG Delicious. My Dad fed 5 kids and a wife on a Saturday night for chump change. In San Luis Mexico you add mayonnaise Shredded Cabbage 7 Queso Fresco with your favorite red sauce

[@patriciacrosby5053]

If he added an egg to the mashed potato and breadcrumbs, the potato would stick together. I make what I call potato pancakes, with leftover mashed potatoes. I add garlic powder, onion powder, you can use fresh too, if you have time to chop. Flat leaf Italian parsley, chopped, bread crumbs, Romano cheese, mozzarella cheese, combine, should be stiff, not runny. I scoop with ice cream scoop onto a plate or right into frying pan of heated either peanut oil or olive oil, I pat down with ice cream scoop, brown turning once. Make your homemade dipping sauce, or just use sour cream.♥️♥️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@wkjeeping9053]

This is a Mexican dish actually. That's were I got the recipe 30 years ago. I bake mine now and dip in fresh salsa.

[@michaelreid8857]

Those are like a Mexican Perogie! Looks good

[@ericharrigan1449]

I've always done this with leftover potatoes of any kind, and leftover chicken. Just combine the chicken and potato, roll/fold and fry. Serve with refried beans and it doesn't disappoint.

[@heatherwicker9990]

You have leftover mashed potatoes? 😂😂😂 we rarely did growing up. One thing we’d all eat without complaint was mashed taters. ❤❤❤ I might make some chicken taquitoes for tonight!

[@ronster369]

Adding some left over chicken just made this a must for me. And wild horses can't keep me away from refried beans. You need your own cooking channel.

[@MrJonl123]

Made the all American meal last night of meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans. Made extra mashed potatoes just for the purpose of making these for a fun Sunday brunch today. Thanks Sam! I am sure they will be a big hit. By the way, absolutely love your book - Recipes with Intentional Leftovers. Perfect for today's busy world!

[@brianazmy3156]

Those spuds are perfect when in a pinch. Very versatile and can be made anywhere.

[@edwinpina7464]

Those that you made are potato flautas (flautas de papa),but they can also be made in taco shape and added a tomato sauce that’s mild Sooooo good

[@MariaGasca-Reyes]

My mom puts cabbage and tomatoes On them with Chile and crema

[@Mrs.Arado1980]

I am putting package mash potatoes on my grocery list! Thank you, Sam

[@drmoonshine200]

There is Bob Evans (we get our local supermarket brand) mashed potatoes that are really good as a side dish. You nuke em for 6 mins total and they're a great side dish. When they're done we put some salt, pepper, butter, and sour cream in them (and usually some corn too, since it's my family's favorite).

[@ARabidPie]

If nothing else, they're just really convenient to have in the pantry for when you need something quick and easy and they last basically forever.

[@mattboselli1099]

Smoke anather one Sam. Kidding can't wait for the show.

[@mkaspageofthingsandstuff1867]

Made this tonight using a larger burrito wrap and the air fryer. Sprayed down with cooking spray and they turned out incredible!

[@mkaspageofthingsandstuff1867]

@@decimanightelf4135 400 for about 10 minutes, no pre-heat. Did not turn them. Coated the top with garlic bread spread and shredded mozzarella.

[@laurenonmoonlightdr]

That particular brand of instant masked potatoes are the best! Plus they just mix with water.

[@TheJesseMoody]

I do these and they are a huge hit... have sour cream, chives, and other things to put on top and its like a fried loaded mashed potato egg roll

[@antfuentes18]

Good idea for leftovers or just a quick, easy meal.. I'm definitely going to make them 👍👍

[@davidstewart4586]

I made these last night for the family. Everyone loved them which is a rare thing for my family. Keep up the awesome ideas!

[@casualnoobgaming3672]

Better way to make the potatoes is to mix in milk and butter. Do one cup water, one cup milk and bring to a simmer. Then add in the potato mix and one table spoonish of butter. Makes then just a little bit better.

[@peek-a-boo7877]

If you were to add a whisked egg to the mashed potatoes before filling them the potato would hold together better.

[@sailorjupiter814]

That looks amazing. I am totally going to add cheese when I make these.

[@LexYeen]

you're just not thinking fourth dimensionally, sailorjupiter814! add jalapeno or banana pepper bits! hot sauce! bacon crumbles! funyuns if those are your jam! maybe a bit of chorizo, or some seasoned veggies, or even mushrooms if you're feeling up for that! this man gave us a foundation for culinary greatness!

[@Gst.Academy101]

Them Costco potatoes pouches be hitting different when you add pepper,butter and milk to the mix 😊

[@gregrowan843]

love the prepackaged mashed potatoes as a quick go to

[@rozequinn1519]

I make mine with potatoes & seasoned ground beef. Mix...fill...roll & fry. Maybe a little melted cheese on top. Yummy!

[@Ensiferum888]

Classic mashed potatoes but add garlic powder, onion powder, curry powder green onions and bacon, mix all that. Wrap it up in egg roll shells and deep fry for a few minutes. They're called Celtic Rolls and they are the definition of godly.

[@robertlilly1751]

Good day Sam and crew. I might make this recipe with my STCG cast iron. It’s still amazing

[@amyferro7397]

Looks delicious and simple to make. I think my grandsons just might like them

[@bobdylan1968]

They will!

[@Ominous13]

I actually did some in the air fryer this past Thurs. Had left over rotisserie chicken so I made chicken taquitos. Of course, nothing beats frying in grease but airfryer comes in clutch 👍

[@hollydollydingo7652]

I done these for my family tonight!! (there is 8 of us) huge hit in our home 😊

[@richardcroce1022]

Thank you for making the recipe available. Will make this one

[@lesliefoldy2767]

Norwegian heritage here -- tortillas or lefse topped with mashed potatoes, butter, and canned salmon. Yum!

[@kristinewilson5353]

How can something so simple look so delicious. I’m literally making these tonight. Although I’m not confident in my shallow pan frying I might attempt a deep fryer. My oil is due for a changing anyways so if some potatoes seep out I’m not that worried. Thanks for the idea Sam

[@ALCRAN2010]

Shallow works fine Just get the edge-lip side down underneath, fry that part first to seal the deal. Roll as needed. It's supposed to be a poor man's meal, don't use up all the corn oil!

[@BrandonMythigander]

So how about you guys possibly try a stuffed cabbage roll Recipe ? The potato taquitos. Absolutely awesome guys 👌👌😎😎😎😎😎

[@urbanextreme5732]

San diego native here. Love this recipe Sam! And anyone that tells Kathie Lee to shut up is an American hero and a legend !

[@jackdorsey4850]

Dear Chef Sam, Thank you for the recipe. it showed the exact temperature of the oil

[@JohnHausser]

Hello Sam Make your own version of the New Haven-style white clam🍕 Cheers from San Diego California

[@pacificchick8750]

I love those mashed potatoes! I always keep a couple packs on hand. They're great for thickening soups and gravies.

[@jessicaeccles379]

These look great! This guy is hysterical and would love to watch more of his cooking videos 😂

[@CR-ip1il]

I have had these a few times, only with freshly mashed potatoes. Luv them! Don't forget to sprinkle them with a little salt after frying for a bit more flavor!

[@kakuretatsumi715]

Plug the end caps with tater tots to prevent spills

[@IvIidnight]

Pro Tip if you have more than a couple of avocados: cut and de-pit as before, take a cross pattern baking cooling rack and put it over top of bowl, place avocado halves face down and press through "spokes," drag peel across enough to clean peel.

[@flufferduff007]

I appreciate u for making the ingredients simple. I’m a mom of 2 and dinner sometimes needs to be quick and delicious not always from scratch 😅😅

[@ZacAttackLeader]

You, just had an idea for Sam. Make these rollers but half potato, half chicken. Make a gravy to dip them in. Then a potato and pot roast roller with a ranchero or a green salsa dip.

[@giraffesinc.2193]

Oooooh those loook SO GOOD! I love potato tacos and these look even better!

[@paulrushton3139]

Awesome. I will try these right now. Thanks Sam

[@keenearthangel]

I am going to try this definitely.

[@ivprogram1565]

i had those for my birthday. I like how good they are. You can adjust the taste to however you like.

[@quantumleap1560]

Can also add some diced up green onion and chopped up bacon to that potato mash. Dipping: molcajete spicy sauce, salsa aguacate, garlic/chipotle alioli...it's endless!

[@BlakesPipes]

Nice, even with stems! I miss the seeds now.

[@davidgutierrez2705]

My favorite!! My mom used to make these for a fast dinner!

[@Wolverine0047]

I might actually try these. They look fantastic! Think these would do well in an air fryer?

[@Butchsiek]

Instant taters, I use 1/2 of what it calls for water and the other half whole milk with 2 tablespoons of butter..

[@matthewlose9446]

Thanks Sam. Made this tonight. Delicious and easy!

[@MIKEYSAVEMONEY]

saw the thumb nail and I knew someone would beat me to this turning these into tacos need to be it’s own video!

[@daveb9342]

Simple. Delicious. Outstanding.

[@moonbubbles3046]

Idahoan “just add water” packets of buttery home style are the BOMB

When everyone is happy & brown is the signal for world peace

[@owenparkkonen1502]

Chance and max should try em after Sam's outro. That'd keep people watching till the end!

[@imoya89]

These were a staple growing up delicious and simple Pro tip add cooked chorizo to the mash potatoes for extra flavor

[@trevorstockwell8290]

I actually make something similar but I make mine spicy. These look great

[@FreightTrain54]

Hey Sam how about inverting these and making the tortilla out of the mashed potatoes (like a potato pancake but thinner and rolled?) Then add shredded pork / beef and cheese on the inside? And maybe fry in beef tallow to get away from the seed oils.

[@josenunez6337]

Just made this tonight. It came out great

[@willbouchard1278]

Imagine dipping these in gravy 🤤🤤

[@aj_aka_alan]

What are you doing with the oil after that?

[@lauriepruski2771]

Great idea! Budget friendly, too.

[@casandrameza9264]

I make these for my kids all the time. It’s definitely their favorite! With sour cream, cotija, lettuce on top. 🤌🏼

[@stephaniebauer5480]

Potato flakes were a staple of my childhood!

[@frankkottwitz6279]

Like how you can make gold out of the simplest things great as always Sam!

[@kathydunlap5345]

Omg....delish. and make several dipping sauces. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@maryobrien8741]

If I want twice baked potatoes but don't have the time I make a pack of dried potatoes and then add the other ingredients. I may bake it for a few minutes. It tastes great.

[@preprebelactual]

I absolutely love watching your videos…I have ordered and now have 4 of 6 cookbooks, and I am working my way through Each And Every Recipe, in those books! (They are all front and center in my cookbook library!) Thank you! Absolutely Love love love the ease with which ALL These recipes come together! Especially the Munchies

[@simpletacoma]

Can you do a video of stuff to cook while camping I’m going august 3-6

[@felixjune]

These are Flautas! Flautas!! So good!

[@dlawlessloyd]

I want pepperoni & banana peppers in there too... yum

[@theguardowl]

For those of you NOT into Appropriated Mexican Cuisine...these are historically called Flautas De Papa.....there, now your not ignorant 😊

[@MariaGasca-Reyes]

Yes flautas de papas o tacos dorados de papa . My mom makes gorditas with potatoe And Chile Colorado ❤

[@Bibi_RCE]

Yep, grew up having these, try potato enchiladas. Yummmmmy😋

[@gfiddler]

Add some salsa of your choice and some taco meat or seasoned beef to the mashed potatoes along with the other ingredients you added. I've made something similar to stuff potato shells with. I've also done it with a pizza or pie crust. Makes a great dish no matter which way you go with your kicked up potatoes.

[@leonlaffoon9989]

We use those bagged mashed potatoes all the time. In fact, we had Pork Chops and Mashed Potatoes last night. Good stuff.

[@jpvintage]

I grew up in El Paso, TX. Potato & cheese tacos were a staple served at my high school cantina. Three tacos for $1. Life was great in the 90’s!

[@JasonCarney.]

The Humble Potato gets an Upgrade 🥔🔥

[@gregoryturner8469]

I'm going to try those they look good.

[@iriedance70]

Without using lucern and cheese I really appreciate this 🥰

[@TwinTurbo50cal]

Oh man these look great. Only thing i do different is i chop up pickled jalapeno for my guac and put sautéed onions and yellow bell peppers in my potato tacos

[@markfergerson2145]

“No stems, no seeds that you don’t need…” Sometimes you make me feel old Sam but you also brought back childhood memories of eating these from food carts when I was growing up in Southern California.

[@aurelioadamejriii4174]

These are called flautas! Grew up eating these! Topped with lettuce tomato cremá avocado and salsa 😋 but my mother used real potatoes and sometimes ground beef or chicken! If you want to get fancy use brisket!

[@MrShayne16]

Packet white gravy for dipping sauce!

[@jayalaniz2446]

Try using canned corned beef (Libby's) and 1/4 slice of American cheese per taquito... so good!

[@Ilumin2000]

Also pizza may have potato flour in the dough. Thanks to such a change in the recipe, it is more filling and if you can, the taste can be better.

[@keithproctor6380]

Sam ..I use two cups of milk with butter instead of water...much creamier. Sour cream too.

[@takeflight4666]

My mom always makes these along with the chicken ones. We call them flautas

[@joefigueroa8809]

Simple and delicious 😋

[@sdcostumeguy2435]

Happy Friday

[@rosebilletta3846]

I make half moons with either baby tortilla or flour tortilla 😊 soòoo good

[@bngr_bngr]

I used the packaged mashed potatoes all the time. I put a few tablespoons of butter plus some cheese. People think I made them from scratch.

[@devinneve]

Make sure to try Mashed Potato Egg Rolls They are a game changer
