Those big fat noodles are actually a close relative to German potato dumpling otherwise known as Grüne Klöße or Kartofullklöße or Thüringer Klöße. They are made from half cooked and half raw potatoes and you save and use the settled potato starch from the extracted juice of the grated raw potato. This asian version skips a bunch of work and the raw fiber, and just uses packaged potato starch. (We often end up adding a tablespoon or two of the packaged potato starch to make things come out right.). HINT: boil the cooked potato in the skin and you will have stickier boiled potato that lends itself to dumplings better. Instant pot is good for cooking potatoes in the skin.

[@carpediem5232]

They are closer to Schupfnudeln than to Klöße.

[@OWK000]

@@carpediem5232 Schupfnudeln have wheat in them which makes them closer to gnocchi. It's all related.

[@carpediem5232]

@@OWK000 There is starch added to these potato noodles as well, flour is basically all starch (over 70%). That is why these noodles are closer to Schupfnudeln both in form factor as well as texture. Gnocchi can be made without flour and should be more pillowy than bouncy. Yes of course they are all related they are all doughy potato products.

[@OWK000]

[@johnHofweber]

@@OWK000 potato dumplings are called knedi in Bavarian (my spelling's doubtless off); I wonder if the 'gn' sound in gnocchi is related to the 'kn' sound in the Bavarian word?

In Poland You roll the dough, cut it (at an angle) in about 3-4 cm pieces and boil. What You get is called kopytka (literal translation would be hoof or a trotter). It it served with butter and/or crispy bacon, sausage pieces or ketchup (options are limitless)

I can't believe I never thought of it before. Pierogi taught me that mashed potatoes can go in a ravioli.. so why not this?

[@BIGMATYY]

one of my personal favourite potato dishes is the 1000 layer potato made slightly different. instead of beef fat, i use double cream infused with rosemary and seasoned heavily, then the rest is already shown in the video, they freeze well in vac pack portions too only difference is i dont deep fry these ones i just warm in airfryer/oven. i believe this method of potatoes might be called potato dauphinoise? very tasty worth a try for sure

[@TheNowerianRaven]

If you want a longer video on the 1000 layer potatoes where people talk about it, Poppy was a guest on Sorted Food where they also made it.

[@seaweedeater3104]

Im gluten intolerant so I loved that the potato dough was made with potato starch rather than wheat flour. I’m gonna make gnocchi this way. Boy, have I missed gnocchi? Yes, I have… but not anymore 🎉

[@limestoneheart]

you can make gluten free gnocchi with rice flour or corn starch… not a problem at all. I made ones with pumpkin a while back, they were fantastic.

[@RogueBones]

To add on, if you haven't had the korean rice cakes that are common in tteokbokki you can get them in the refrigerated or frozen sections of asian grocery. I would imagine they would be very similar to the potato noodles texture and gluten free as well. And you could make them in a saucy dish similar to this video!

[@user-li8no6ik8t]

I reccomand looking into german and more so austrian dumplings. Lots are potatoe based and the austrians come in sweet versions. Potatoe Desserts basically.

[@nemlea]

suggetion on the patoto tacos, used jack or oaxaca cheese (something that's going to melt) instead of queso fresco, and you have to salt you potato mix. You can add the queso fresco on a toping. Traditionally that is how its done.

[@_SurferGeek_]

12:05 - I think Poppy would be proud! 👍

[@TheEltoro59]

I don't know if you've ever done this, but if not, and if you sometimes make fries, I highly recommend the lacto-fermentation (brined) method for making fries. This means leaving your cut fries in a jar filled with 3% salted water along with things that add flavor (herbs, spices, ...) for 5 days at room temperature and ambient light. I'm not sure if it's necessary, but I don't close the jar completely to let the gas escape; I just place the lid on without sealing it. After 5 days, you dry them as much as possible and cook them as usual. I cooked mine for 5 minutes at 160 degrees Celsius (320 F?) in beef fat. Let them cool for 1 hour in the fridge. Then 5 minutes at 190 degrees Celsius (374 F?) I have never made fries so good and especially so crispy. edit : the first time : don't salt it after, it's already salty

[@Lifebymikeg]

i've seen this done but never tried it!

[@TheEltoro59]

​@@Lifebymikeg I've often made fries for my family and friends before, but this is the first time someone has told me that they are restaurant quality. In any case, if one day you make this recipe and teach us how to make it even better, I'm all in. Thanks for the videos

[@ukgroucho]

Very nice! I watched Poppy's video of the 1000 layer a week or so ago - I 'kmow' her from appearances on Sorted Food. I gotta try someof these...

[@nannettenannettek9545]

I wonder if you used a pastry bag to make the 1st noodles. 😊

[@Sniperboy5551]

Or even a Ziploc bag with a cut at the end. I have a feeling that once the mixture cools down, you might have a hard time getting them out of the nozzle.

Perfect timing. I just harvested potatoes Saturday

[@james__page]

13:24 my mum always said.... Never add your potatoes to boiling water: start them cold. I assume this is so that is cooks more evenly? I've always just done it that way. It's also safer.

[@Lifebymikeg]

starting the potatoes with cold water will promote even cooking! If you add the potatoes to hot water the outside will become starchy and will lead to mealy potatoes.

[@sebeckley]

The first one is just gnocchi that wasn't cut.

[@isabelalongo2356]

gnocchi is made with wheat flour

[@youtankforme1198]

​@@isabelalongo2356and potatoes.

I reccomand to make a Version the shape this one is, basically gnochi dough but: oven baked and served with zaziki

[@pelakful]

Yeah I think there is supposed to be added some wheat flour to this as well…wouldn’t break during the rolling that much..

[@nonapplicable9590]

I appreciate you calling it a hash brown bc I may actually use this recipe to prep hashbrowns I’ve really wanted hashbrowns at home and haven’t figured out a way to make them this seems more simple and like it would store well in the fridge

[@JohnHausser]

I’d pay $25 for these freshly made 🥔 noodles! Looks great

[@jonatanromero1123]

About the tacos dorados: bacon is a good option but if you want to be more authentic, mix some nice Mexican chorizo. Papas con Chorizo is a very common combo in Mexican food. Obviously fry the chorizo before adding it to the potatoes. You can also add chunks of onion

[@ricknico2577]

I made the thick noodles today using cassava and tapioca starch, its super easy since boiled cassava is really gluey, good and fun to eat😋👌

[@daneking1209]

With the first dish I think it would be easier to get the shape by putting the potatoes mash on a sheet of plastic wrap, fold it over and use a long thing wooden dowel or something like that you press it into shape by rolling back into the potato. This will given you a quick round and very tight noodle shape.

[@NONi-vx9dm]

Potatoes have been around for thousands of years. I’m happy to see snowflakes try new recipes.

[@rickbooher8224]

I like to take russet and wash them good leavivg the skins on cut them into 1 inch chunks. In a bowl with the potatoes add oil, salt, pepper and ranch seasoning mix then mix the potatoes y tol they are completely cover. Then added them to a pre heated airfryer at 400°f for 20 minutes, shaking the basket at the half way point and have browned and crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. They are so tasty.

[@NickCombs]

I think I'd just use flour instead of potato starch for the noodles. Then you can work it to develop some gluten structure.

[@sandralouth3103]

And lose the gluten free aspect.

[@NickCombs]

Yep gimme dat gluten

Zone 6 and squirrels have WRECKED my garden all year long. I've tried everything. I'm on my 3rd planting of potatoes and 4th planting of corn. I WILL get a successful/satisfying harvest if it's the last thing I do! 😂

[@jn8922]

Plant them on raised beds (like wooden or even large plastic boxes with mesh on top... It's not ideal but it does work. Potatoes need space but you can successfully grow potatoes this way. Ps. I doubt this would work with corn but a lot of vegetables grow well in raised beds with adequate drainage.

[@outdoorlifestyle5128]

I love the video, I've been watching it for a while and I wanted to thank you for all the research and wisdom you bring to the world. In regards to the coffee/macha sponsorship part of your video, I just wanted to make a recommendation. Firstly, for the record, I also love Macha but enjoy coffee too. One thing I would recommend if you still want to enjoy coffee without the crash is adding fat to your coffee such as coconut oil. I learned this from an incredible book by Aubrey Marcus "Own the day, Own your life". The fat added to the coffee can't be processed all at once, your body naturally spreads it out, so instead of getting a caffeine dump and crash, it's a smooth intake. Really enjoy the videos, keep it up!

[@jacquelinemassinello3451]

Love the recipes !!! All look delicious 😋

[@vidhipatel1080]

i used to make those tacos when i was living on my own at college and i was too lazy to actually boil potatoes so i got those mashed potato microwavable cups from walmart then added my own seasoning the tacos were still really good! may not be as good as actual boiled mashed potatoes but its great alternative for people who don't have a lot of time to cook or don't want to put in a lot of effort

[@ESPSJ]

It's amazing how much simple ingredients like cheese and potatoes can accomplish

[@blank5237]

[@fraart14]

for the potato tacos I'd remove the queso fresco from the mashed potatoes and use it as a topping instead, thats how my grandma used to make them. Also it's better to use a thinner tortilla for a crispier result. Restaurants usualy deepfry that kind of tacos which are called tacos dorados.

[@jnorth3341]

I'm thinking those potato noodles would be easier to handle if 1) you used a waxy potato like Yukon Gold instead of a starchy one, and 2) you milled/riced them to make sure they were perfectly smooth (even the smallest lumps would inhibit the formation of a cohesive dough).
