Your kind of videos are the kind i like best….unlike so many who plan out videos and have some kind of gimmick to get viewers to watch…you guys just do what you would do if there was no camera. I love it, because i love to see and learn how other people from all over the world live. I grew up in the country, in West Virginia (putnam county), with both my grandparents having farms with cattle and gardens. It was such a great way to grow up. Watching your channel and seeing your kids work, play, and laugh..takes me back to many wonderful memories.

You can make fried sweet potato pies. There used to be a lady at Denton every year that sold fried pies and her best were always the sweet potato. Years ago, Grandma used to make sweet potato cobblers that were delicious. Great harvest. Y'all have a great day!

I grow a LOT of sweet potatoes and two years ago, I started growing my sweet potatoes in a dedicated plot and about two weeks before harvest, I surround it with electric netting and turn about five goats out there. All I give them for two weeks is water. They clear that patch and I just have to dig. I have no fight with vines. They eat them right down to the stems. So Andy you are almost on point. Cows too big; goats just right. 👍🏽

When we end up growing them and always have a few of those big ones. We can part of them. And boil part of them and mash them and put 2 cups of mashed taters in freezer bags. Then when we need some for pies we already have them ready just need to thaw them out. And the canned ones we use for sliced sweet potato cobblers Sure enjoy y’all. Y’all do so much just like we do.

@kellydodson557 3 дня назад

2 Years ago our sweet potatoes were huge. I cut them in half then each half in half again, rub each piece all over with olive oil and place them cut side down on a baking sheet. Cover with foil. They bake up pretty quickly that way.

Well, you won't be running out of sweet tators anytime soon. We'd have to put a six foot fence up to grow them. The deer eat the vines as quick as they leaf out.

Fried sweet potatoes are delicious place some butter in skillet add sliced sweet potatoes , when potatoes start to get tender place a couple of tabs water and a cup of brown sugar. Add lid on skillet , the burger, water and brown sugar makes a yummy sauce . 😊

@dforgivenmerryheartfarm5066 3 дня назад

My Mommy used to boil the big potatoes for a little bit, then bake them.

@dianemutina5925 День назад

Put the whole potato leave skin on and put in a pot of water and boil till tender. You can cut it in smaller sections then slice open just like a baked potato and add butter. Easier and quicker than baking them in the oven

Perfect for thanksgiving! Sweet potato pie! Sweet potato bread! Sweet potato fries! Just sweet potato baked with brown sugar and cinnamon! Omg love it! I wish I was there harvesting that potatoes with u guys!! TFS!❤🙏🏼

@pamp5797 2 дня назад

You two might not be preppers but your way of life will sustain you through through most hardships. Put a couple of goats in there. Their foragers and would eat all those vines and get get it all clear for you to dig it up Cows they want the grass. What a pleasure seeing your kids out there working with you.

@sandysmith8567 3 дня назад

Beautiful harvest! My husband's aunt made her sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving in a cast iron skillet. Gently boiled, then the butter, brown sugar, and a few shakes of black pepper. Really good! Got my few slips out late with vines climbing up into tomato cages (per Flutey Lick), so several more weeks to go. Perfect for a little garden!

@darianroscoe1017 3 дня назад

We slice the big ones into rounds, fry them and put brown sugar on top to melt in while the bottom is browning. About 1' thick. Any left over get made into gnocci (add flour and spices of your choice to make a dough, make ropes then cut about 1", then boil...when they come to the top, they're done. Good with butter.)

@jacquethirlkel3001 3 дня назад

I get big sweet potatoes and put foil around them then poke a steam hole or two in the foil and potato. Putt them on a baking pan with edges to catch any juice in the oven at 400. Takes about 45 minutes to get done. Delicious.

@dmartin4295 3 дня назад

Great harvest! One of my favorite ways to eat sweet potatoes is to peel and make hash browns fried in butter. Perfect use for those footballs. They cook in no time and they are so, so good!

@vlunceford 3 дня назад

Congratulations on your great sweet potato crop! I love Beauregard and planted just one 4’x8’ bed this year that netted close to 40 pounds. Some of them were HUGE but most were good baking size. Considering I’m the only one in our house who eats them, that will be plenty! Mine were ready about 6 weeks ago +/-, and after I removed the vines, I left the bed until I could get back to it. Well, next thing you know, I have tons of sweet potato vines coming up in that bed. I’d say that I obviously missed a few potatoes. I’m going to dig them out before our first frost. They won’t have a full 100 days to grow but who knows….there could be some good edible Beauregards under there!

@mint2bee689 3 дня назад

Ya'll, those were some beautiful sweet potatoes! Have you ever made a sweet potato sonker? Andy had a great idea about making sweet potato fried pies 😊 I believe that yellow tomato is the variety called garden peach; the skin on them is not slick like a regular tomato but almost like a peach, hence the name. We've grown them several seasons. Another great video with ya'll and the kiddos. Love ya'll ❤

@connieabdelkader5256 3 дня назад

You can also bake your sweet potato and freeze them When ever you hungry for baked sweet potato you can heat them in a microwave are oven. And they taste the same

@deenamonday99 3 дня назад

Canned sweet potatoes are awesome. I just cut them up like I would white potatoes and can in quart jars. Every time I make spaghetti, hamburger helper or veggie soup I add a quart jar of the sweet potatoes. They are so soft after pressure canning that they fall apart when you add them to sauce or soup. You gain all the health benefits but never know sweet potatoes are in there and you can't taste them either. Yes you most certainly can make your hand pies from canned sweet potatoes.

I plant slips in my garden really just for fun . It really doesn’t matter if I get some or not because I’m Blessed to have across the woods is the Daw farm . And they plant many fields of sweet potatoes here in Wayne county NC . And after they get what they want we can pick for days . I have boxes full to last me all winter. One thing I did fine in my greenhouse I planted two potatoes for slips last year . I got plenty of slips and just left the rest . Danny on Deep South said you will not get sweet potatoes by planting a sweet potato to grow slips from . Will I did two potatoes gave me around 6 or 8 sweet potatoes. And one was larger than the one you guys picked . I was amazed to fine them hiding under the soil. And after I got my slips I didn’t water them any more . So sweet potatoes are the hardest plant I know.
