Digging up potatoes never gets old, we get our hands dirty in the garden and see how well our spuds did. Thankful for a great yield we celebrate with a classic potato dish, Potatoes Au Gratin.

Hey there. I used to use wax paper and parchment paper until I found out about, "Forever chemicals" in them. You have to read multiple sources that aren't affiliated with any particular company that sells them. PFAS is short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Once these compounds are in the environment or our bodies, they do not readily break down - hence the nickname “forever chemicals.” PFAS can cause kidney cancer, thyroid disruption, reduced responses to vaccination, and other health problems. It changed the way I work in my kitchen, but I've learned to make do without wax and parchment paper. Best wishes to you both!💛

We do gratin dauphinois here in France, which is stacked sliced potatoes with cream. And the trick is to put salt and pepper on every single layer, because cream is very bland and takes out the saltiness, so you need to add more to balance it out. We bake it for a very long time (up to 4-5 hours) until all the liquid has completely disappeared, at which point you get a nice crust of baked cream on the top of the dish, as if you added cheese, and all the cream has disappeared inside the potatoes. It's very simple, you just rub the dish with a clove of garlic, stack your potatoes, season every layer, and add the cream, with optional nutmeg. No herbs. But you need some really good potatoes and cream for the dish to shine. You never wash the potatoes for this, because the starch helps the potatoes absorb the cream.

For the Au Gratin potatoes I roasted a couple heads of garlic in the oven in some foil with a slash of olive oil, salt and pepper. When layering your potatoes, smear a layer of the roasted garlic on the potato layer before you add the cream sauce, also I add a layer of either fresh thinly sliced onions, or caramelized onions in between every couple layers. It turns out amazing!

It's nice when the two of you, after all this time, can have such fun together while subsistence gardening. I know many of us enjoy watching the two of you grow together and interact with one another. Keep up the good work, and set an example for this younger generation to model. One item of note! As a kidney patient, I have been trained to soak my cut potatoes for several hours and then rinse....even better to soak overnight. Why? Removes potassium which is harmful to the heart when it gets too high in the human body. Soaking the potatoes does not hurt the taste, so why not lessen the load on the kidneys by removing it? Tomatoes, bananas, potatoes, and others all add potassium to the body. Kidneys work hard to remove it. Hope this tidbit helps.

I'm on my 2nd kidney transplant. 1st one a year after doing dialysis during my 3rd pregnancy. 2nd one 12 years later. The potatoes are great after soaking but please watch ALL salt. Do extensive research on where salt lies (i.e. big in pancake mix). Take phosphorus binders because it is in everything! I'm coming up on my 11th yr transplant anniversary so I say all of this to encourage you going forward. God bless you.

Hi, for your potatoes, on each layer put sliced garlic and some salt and pepper. The flavor it adds is wonderful. You can also layer the potatoes in a glass pie dish, don’t use sauce, put potatoes, garlic and salt. Layer to the top then pour heavy cream on entire dish. Bake 350 for 1 to 2 hours.

I am an Irishman, and we love our potatoes. It be interesting to try some of the varieties you have seem much different than what I might have grown with my grandfather. Irish people traditionally like a flowery potato with medium high, dry matter, popular potatoes in Ireland would be Navan, Nectar, Electra, Cultra, and Maritiema. Irish people are potato connoisseur’s we grow many varieties of potatoes, and we also import potatoes from all over the world. What can I say we love a good spud. I’ve been living in Alberta Canada for great mini years now and there isn’t a great variety of potatoes here. You really have to go out of your way to find different varieties from local farmers. It’s not like back home in Ireland where you would have a selection and pretty much every store you walked into. But some of what you were growing looks really interesting and I would’ve loved to have tried them. You talk about the size of the potatoes now Irish people can grow really nice big spuds, but we will also love little tiny potatoes to just cause they’re small doesn’t mean they’re not good. Sometimes the little potatoes are just wonderful to cook with.

@@johnlukasik8045 it's okay being half Polish half German as long as you like potatoes as far as I'm concerned your Irish lol. You should try bacon cabbage and potato three simple ingredients making one of the best dinners on Earth. Depending on where you are in the world getting a shoulder of bacon can be tricky. But if you have time and patience you can do it yourself. Get a pork shoulder or picnic roast. Leave the bone in and fat on. Dry cure it, rub curing salt into the pork. Put the pork into a vac sealed bag with the curing salt seal it up. Put it in the bottom drawer of your fridge once a day flip it over do this for about 15 days. Take it out rinse it all off and then cook it up in a large pot with water. You'll get a lot of scummy foam forming on the top ladle this out. When it is cooked remove from the pot and place on a plate to rest. Do not throw out the water shred your cabbage and cook it up in the water All of the bone marrow and salt and bacon flavor will go in to the cabbage. Cook up some potatoes strain off your cabbage and you can either cut or pull apart their shoulder of bacon it will be like pulled pork only bacon flavor. If you like corned beef cabbage and potatoes you are going to love this let me know if you try it.

Cudos to you guys trying to cook potatoes au gratin, not an easy feat 😘. Alas, the pleb will prevail ✌️✌️. Keep telling your story 😀😀

Thanks fot your explanation. One thing further is 'clear sound' and 'speed for foreigners'. That is the key point for foreigners.

Yay I always love watching your potato harvest!

@brendahone2509 Год назад

You both were full of joy digging up the potatoes. So happy for you. I would have added onions in each layer too. Next year will be a new adventure in gardening and you get to take all the information you learned with you. Stay safe.

Ariel I nearly wet my pants laughing when you said, after uncovering the potatoes, a little bit of frost hahaha. I live sub-tropical & I would never get out of bed if that happened here 😃😃😃- I had to skip over the mandoline part as I cut myself extremely badly using one & cringe every time I see someone not using the guard with them. I still cannot use one ever !!! I make that all the time & yes little seasoning for me. WHAT A GREAT VIDEO GUYS. Thank You Denise- Australia

I loved planting potatoes I didn’t know much about it but I am cheap so I did how my mom told me I plated the potatoes that sprouted cut them and plated all kinds lol it was so fun we dug them up in mid September . It was like an. Easter egg hunt ! So fun and the Taste is so amazing I think they were all Alaskan grown that we planted red and white big and the baby size . But the baby ones were pretty big ! I really want to do t again . I love watching you guys I learn a lot ! I grew up here . Then moved out of state moved back left one more time and instead of finding a nice warm place to retire. Choose to move back up here by myself ! I do have a son and his family here so that’s cool . Living my best life in Alaska! 😂❤

Plus my mum did the potato dish but layered potatoes and onions then topped off with bacon cooked slowly in the oven… it’s still my favourite comfort food 😍

Holy smokes, what a haul! The soil around your potatoes looked so healthy, definitely taking notes for our crop next year! 💛

I never thought about weighing it down and then sauteing wedges, it looks yummy! When I have done au gratin, I put a bit of liquid on the bottom, and put most of the sauce on top and let it seep down. I season each layer with salt, pepper, nutmeg, garlic, thyme, and add onion slices before the next potato layer. (onions also done on the mandolin so same thickness) I use my great aunts verbal recipe, and she didn't saute veg w/ sauce ahead of time. her sauce was just a cream (or half & half), milk, butter, flour mixture with some of the same seasoning I mentioned above - but not a lot as each layer has its own seasoning. She always told me potatoes need a lot of seasoning and it's taken now, in my 60s to finally get close to her au gratin potato cass. as hers is still an epic memory of my childhood. She would put something like Parm on top w/ onions and sometimes some breadcrumbs to get really brown and crunchy in the oven for special occasions. My Aunt told me you need the nutmeg even though you don't realize that is the flavor, it's just a little sprinkled on each layer except the top. When I have forgotten the nutmeg, it does taste flat and not quite right.

Green acres is the place to be. Homesteading is the life for me. Land spreading out so far & wide. Keep Manhattan just give me that wild Alaskan countryside.

@cazee100 Год назад

When I do that type of potato dish, we add grated cheese. Don’t let it go cold either, eat it straight from the oven when the cheese is all melted and gooey. Stay safe x

Digging potatoes has to be one of the most satisfying harvests. Also I love that we get to see your reaction to how delicious your food is. So many RU-vidrs will post some great cooking content, then leave us hanging, by not eating their own food. Those potato stacks were a win, even though you thought they were under seasoned. Thanks for posting.

I love your videos. You are 2 strong people, united in purpose. To survive and prosper. You demonstrate how much hard work is involved. Honest hard work. Including connection to nature.

I love that you grew so many varieties. Digging potatoes is like digging for pirate treasure! So fun! Best tasting potatoes I ever had were grown in/on Prince Edward Island, Canada. I'm not sure but I think what makes them so tasty is the iron content in their soil. I couldn't get enough of them! LOL 🤣
