Disclaimer: Simple Life Simple Food is not for the Fast Paced People of Today's world. It's a slice of the past. Of conversations with our mothers, our nans and aunts who share their lives with us, from the present and the past while they teach you their skills and wisdom in the food that we grew up eating and loving. I've been Following your videos, and I honestly love the honest take on your life and your thoughts on cooking. I adore your little stories as you talk about your dishes and I love to watch your videos as I'm having my mid afternoon tea or while I'm prepping food for lunch or dinner. Thank you for putting your all into making these videos, no matter how challenging it may be ❤️ So much love to you and your cats ❤️
Hemun Avi Dear Heart, I can’t thank you enough for your kindness and insight. Originally I started Simple Food Simple Life for my adult and young adult grandchildren. I have not always had the luxury of having them near me as they were growing up. The times they were with me were times spent in the kitchen making food and having fun. Our home was a place they loved to come to and where they knew they were loved. I wanted to make some of the things on my channel that reminded them of days at ‘Granny and Papa’s’. It seemed I was always in the kitchen and they were always with me. Now their lives are busy and time with them is often precious few. But that is the way of most things in life. Thank you for you insight and wisdom in knowing what this channel is all about. You brought tears to my eyes and touched my heart. God Bless you and keep you in all you do. ❤️
I grew up in Wisconsin. You seem like a neighbor I would love to stop over and have coffee with in the middle of January! Question: can I grate onions and green pepper in with taters to make potatoes o'brien?
Used to take my kids on fishing vacations in Wisconsin. I’ll put the coffee on...lol. Love potatoes O’Brien! You sure can add onions and peppers. Thanks for watching and commenting. Be blessed!❤️
I need to try this method but with sweet potatoes! I had to give potatoes up about 5 months ago. They bloat me something fierce so it was time to give up all things potatoes..but I dearly love hash browns so I am thinking there is no reason why I couldn't just make them with sweet potatoes :)
lisa s thanks for your comment and question. I boil the potatoes until they are knife or fork tender in the middle. It's hard to put a time limit on them as they were different sizes. Make sure when you shred them they are completely cool. Once you shred the potatoes and freeze them, they can keep in the freezer for at least six months as long as they are well sealed. I don't believe they will last that long as they can go pretty quickly LOL.
Lisa, you probably already know the specific answer to your question, but our family's rule of thumb for parboiling potatoes is 8-10 minutes. Just like she mentioned, be sure they are completely cooled before grating, less your hash browns will be mushy. ;) Good luck! :D
That’s a shame, no subtitles on this one. Hope I can refind this when I can put the volume up. I think it’s just boil potatoes, let them cool, grate them, freeze them. Cool, thanks.
I noticed that you roll over the storage bags so you don't get stuff in the zipper. good idea. (da ). No seasoning, guess there is a reason ? p.s. potato soup was super. luv dan t.
daniel teegarden yep that’s the exact reason I roll the bags down. If you want to season the potatoes it’s entirely up to you. Thanks on the potato soup. I’m glad you liked it. Many thanks for watching.
Follower of Christ I reckon 5 pounds of potatoes will yield 5 pounds of hashbrowns. LOL I’m just kidding. I really don’t know how much it would yield as far as servings are concerned. But thanks for asking. God Bless.❤️
Not, get a good buy make those dollars streach, take it from a old lady on social security. You young ones that that think you don't need to look to tomorrow, think again, tomorrow comes quicker than you think. No one is young forever.
Thank you Just Me for what I’m sure you meant as constructive criticism. (I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt here.) Taking into consideration I made that video 5 years ago and was just learning how to RU-vid, you might want to cut me some slack in your critique of my content. Thanks for stopping by.
mary crouch mary crouch this video was early on so I was not monetized. I was doing my best being new to RU-vid. How many videos have you or Teri pelesky made and edited yourself? Hopefully my content has gotten better with time. If I don’t care for a video or perhaps it doesn’t meet my needs, I simply move on and try another channel. I don’t pick the video and the person apart in order to make myself feel better. Why criticize what you have never attempted? Think twice before you cruelly comment on someone else’s video.
I like that your videos are a little longer than the usual videos you see on RU-vid. It's adorable and sweet and it reminds me of conversations with my own Mother and Grandmother about cooking in the kitchen. You learn a new skill and you have a nice conversation ❤️ Keep doing what you're doing, it's wonderful ❤️
