VEGAN CHEESY FIESTA Potatoes, SPICY POTATO Taco, and the BEEFY POTATO-RITO!

[@afangats]

I made this tonight. I used to love the Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes from taco bell before I went vegan. This was so close to the actual thing from taco bell. I made the potatoes in my air fryer to cut down on fat and it was still incredible. I make the burrito too and the whole family liked it. 10/10

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Excellent!!

Hi everyone, sorry about the bad audio in the last minute, I'm still learning the do's and don'ts of my new recording set up!

It turned into a delicious silent film! Well done; need to try these out!!!

I absolutely love that you are showing your face now and talking to us and eating the food!!! Please don't stop. It's super cool, I feel like I'm conversing with a friend haha. You are interesting to watch and it's enjoyable seeing you actually eat your incredible vegan creations. Thank you for everything☺🤗!

[@WayOfHaQodesh]

Yes! More taste testing and talking, love it.

[@RoxxieDymond]

The music in your videos always calms me. It's like "ahhh.... the world will indeed be vegan one day, everything will be okay 🥰😇"

It reminds me of Super Mario Sunshine for some reason lol

[@ambergarrett7781]

Suggestion for next time you do these - frying the potatoes using a vinegar dredge will help them get crispier and zippier. You would just want to parboil the potatoes first, then mix your same dry dredge together with enough white vinegar to create a buttermilk-like consistency and fry until golden. The vinegar retards browning to keep them from getting black before you get this really crispy incredible texture. Side benefit: they stay crispy even when you drown them in sauce. Or don’t do that and keep doing what you’re doing. Yours looks amazing, like all your recipes do. (Edited for a typo wherein “you” autocorrected to “tofu” which I personally am delighted by)

DUDE THIS IS SOO GOOD OUT OF THIS WORLD AND BACK THANK YOU 🙏❤️.I HOPE YOU GET 1 MILLION VIEWS FOR YOUR CHANNEL... RESPECT FROM CHI-TOWN

[@missy9223]

My sodium citrate came today so I made the cheese sauce. Amazing! 😋 I’m still shocked at the magic that made it stretchy and sticky like dairy cheese! Even washing my pan and utensils reminded me of what it used to be like cleaning up after making cheese sauce. 😮😊

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Awesome!!

[@mags8961]

My mouth was watering as soon as you started cutting the potatoes 🤣 I just knew what was coming!

[@missmermaiid]

I just know those potatoes are absolutely incredible 😩😩😩 potatoes are the love of my life

[@oliverlacey3765]

What you said!

[@barrettKiwi]

Only recently discovered your channel but man, I’m so excited to give some of these recipes a go! It’s always fun to try new things and making some fast food style meals is a great way to serve vegan food to friends and family who might otherwise not be that keen. Keep em coming!

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

Potato Funk would be a great band name. Great work as always! It all looks yummy.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

haha agreed and thanks!

[@keepingitreal9469]

Yes 🥰 my mouth is drooling🤤 that cheese sauce looks so creamy

[@timbolittle]

YET ANOTHER quality video. Love that you are finally showing your face and talking more about the meal as you finish the dishes and eat them right there. Do more of that! I love it and like others in this comment section feel like we're chatting with the hommie. Keep up the great work man. I've recommended you to virtually everyone I know.

[@Darell718]

Never thought vegan Taco Bell would look this good. Might need a video for a vegan crunchwrap supreme and quesarito

[@TheDarkYoshi64]

I’m not vegan but seeing all of these delicious recreation recipes and how creative you get with them to make them better is so fascinating to me. Would definitely love to try a lot of these! 😋

[@SoftwareDownloadSuccessful]

Cooking vegan is quite the science experiment but also an excellent opportunity for creativity❤

[@princess3193]

I always get excited when I see that you've uploaded a new video, but I was more excited about this one because you did a taste review at the end and showed yourself longer than expected!! You are getting braver, awesome, keep it up!! 😁

[@JacKAsterisK]

Yes! I used to love the spicy potato soft tacos, so I can't wait to try this out!

[@toomokoisvip]

At this point, I have no words. This channel is insaaaaaane! Every single video is a gem.

[@Nettkin]

1. Thank you for delivering excellent content in reasonable length videos, nothing worse than those creators who feel they need to spend 30 mins on one recipe. 2. You'll need to hurry and start making more videos, I've watched almost everything on your channel now 😁

[@desj91]

Can’t wait to try this. Absolutely love your channel ❤❤❤❤❤

[@brispellman2718]

I love how this man makes everything look so easy. And surprisingly it is.

[@WaterfallWishes]

Dreams do come true! So excited to try all of these, every recipe I've tried from you has been nothing short of great.

[@denine5232]

I love when you veganize taco bell food! This looks absolutely amazing. I'm definitely gonna try these recipes. 🙂😋👌👍🌱

[@TheOwlQueen]

I used to work at Taco Bell for years and I've also been making my own version of the potatoes at home (I make a big batch and then freeze them and pop them into the air fryer to make it super convenient for me! I can't really eat deep fried foods much anymore due to a stomach problem) and your spice blend has all the same ingredients I've been using myself :) So former employee-approved. I'm definitely going to be trying this jalapeno sauce recipe because I've never been able to replicate it to my own satisfaction, but that taco does actually use the chipotle sauce.

[@3PairDesigns]

The audio was fine, the video, as usual was awesome! I get such a kick out of your creations! Thank you for sharing! 👍💖

[@diogocorreia8195]

Your recipes are amazing, thank you!

[@marjolainebernstein3338]

Your food photography has gotten to a whole new level!! My mouth is watering. God, I love this channel.

[@themheavypeople]

Hey just an FYI - I noticed that the recipe on your website says to use 1/4 cup of brine in the beef whereas the video just uses two tablespoons. I made it with the 1/4 cup and it was way too salty. Anyone who decides to make this be aware of this discrepancy, and use the less-brine version! Your food is wonderful and I bought your book, can’t wait to get it!

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Oh dang, sorry about that, thanks for catching it! I've updated the recipe. Thank you!

[@WayOfHaQodesh]

HalleluYAH! Thank you so much, definitely wanna try these out.

The Wayfare jalapeño cheddar sauce is a really good dupe too if you don't feel like making your own veg cheddar sauce

Looks amazing! I’m lobbying that you use the yuba to create a bunch of deli sandwiches. The Reuben! The Monte cristo! The turkey club!

I havn't found the ingredients for the cheese sauce yet but there's a cashew queso dip at the grocery store and it doesn't look the same but I've found heating some up to be just as good.

Love you man, any advice for someone in the UK looking for the meat based substitutes you use. Many of them like the impossible meat and such just aren’t available where I’m from?

Any sort of vegan mince should work if you have that available. You can also use crumbled TVP too!

[@Aslan_Fulgore]

@@TheeBurgerDude thanks a ton man

[@sodacard-s2t]

I saw a promising recipe the other day (haven’t tried yet, but will) where the mince was made from cauliflower and walnuts pulsed in a food processor. After the seasonings were added, it looked exactly like taco meat. It was heated just till hot (but not cooked).

I most often see him use violife and daiya
