I’m a 25 year old post college grad who had been subjected to college cafeterias for too long. This channel has really inspired me to start cooking and having fun in the kitchen. Appreciate all you do, keep it up!!

I rewatch this everytime I make mashed potatoes. They always come out perfect. Only downside is apparently I have to share them with my family.

I've just discovered your channel and I love it. As soon as I heal from my cancer treatments, I can't wait to try your recipes. Cook on!!!!!!!

I’ve been watching your channel for the past 2 weeks. I’ve gotten 0 work done.. Pissed that I’ve apparently been living under a rock for the last 4 years. Lmao. By far, my most favorite cooking channel.

What kinda crackhead food did u make at the end

A couple of tricks I learned from my Polish grandmother. Russets are great for mashed potatoes. You can leave skins on and they won't absorb much water, then peel off skin before mashing. Or after draining peeled cooked russets throw them back in the empty pot on low heat, just for a few mins to dry up any excess liquid. Then prepare how desired. Also sour cream and or cream cheese is excellent to add to mashed potatoes instead of milk or heavy cream. But no snobbery here I've made and enjoyed many a good mashed made each way. Lastly a good potato masher works as well as a ricer, usually the smaller holed mashers. But to each there own. Nothing wrong with a few lumps. 🙃🤭

When he said Cholula I had heard Matty Matheson's voice in my head yelling CHOLULAAAAA

Wish I'd found your channel sooner! I'm in my mid-sixties and retired. I no longer work rediculous rotating shifts, long hours or seven day work weeks. Which also means I no longer resort to fast foods, convenience store foods and coffee or vending machine snacks. Which also means I have the time to learn to cook. I'm working on boiling water without setting the kitchen on fire and not automatically making s pact with the local fire department: I won't try to cook and they won't have to show up. That changes now! Thanks for sharing, Sam!!

Making these today for Thanksgiving dinner. Here are my notes in case you're a note-nerd like me: Creamy Mashed Potatoes 30-35min total time • 3lbs Yukon Gold Potato o Peel o Slice into similar size pieces o In water as water heats to a boil o Boil for 20 mins or tender enough to poke a fork through • Cream Liquid o ¾ cup of heavy whipping cream into sauce pan o ¼ cup of butter into same sauce pan, slowly let it melt (medium low heat) • Drain potatoes when tender • Mash potatoes using a “Potato Ricer.” o A masher will leave lumps o A hand blender makes gluey potatoes · Pour in cream liquid, add ½ TBS salt (or to taste) , stir and blend. Sorry, cut and paste is weird. But Hooray for Creamy Mashed Potatoes!

Dare I make a suggestion Sam? The mere suggestion (1/4 clove) of garlic added to the cream and butter will blow your friggin mind!!!

Love the potato ricer suggestion. Thanks for keeping these recipes simple for us. Just the perfect length video Sam. Cheers, Mark

I’ve been making mashed potatoes like this for years. It IS the best way to do it. Only, when doing the final mixing, I add in a handful of shredded Parmesan and some pepper to the mix. So good

I’ve been eating mash potatoe tacos since the late 70s my dad called them patocos only we added scrambled eggs and ham in them , your idea looks very good as well , love that shirt

Adopt me. Forget that im 47. I need this in my life.

just found your channel yesterday, and i'm hooked. I've watched 50+ episodes already and looking forward for the rest, love the vibe and videos, Tremendous !

Corn tortilla, mash potatoes , deep fry. Delicious taco!

I don't even peel them. Wash the outside well, boil them, throw them in the ricer, skin off, fluffy potato. That thing is my favorite tool in the kitchen. I made some with my daughter and they were the best mashed potatoes I've ever had...SUPER creamy!

Dude... My dude! That taco.. C'mon dude! Cannot wait to make this!!!!!

Best cooking channel out there.

Recent subscriber here... I have been on a diet and lost 10 lbs since Halloween. I think I gained it all back by just watching this. Worth it.

so satisfying to see potatoes go through the ricer

You have changed my family’s cooking game!

Dude. I like that you’re Canadian and that you break norms ALL THE TIME.

Ran out today to buy ourselves a Potato Ricer and we made these puppies for Turkey Day tomorrow. I have to say I should have gotten a ricer 20 years ago : ) and this recipe kicks ass. Thanks and enjoy the bird tomorrow!

Your mashed potato recipe is just like mom used to make when I was a kid. She had the potato ricer too. Thanks for reminding me of great, forgotten memories. You bet your ass I’ll be making this soon.

I love lumps in my mashed potatoes 🤷🏾‍♂️ lol

im high enough to the point where that taco is something i MUST have

I will try this mash on my Irish husband - the lover of all things potato. Thanks Sam. Happy Thanksgiving.

Ok. So I’ve recently found your channel and I gotta say, you guys FRICKIN ROCK!!!! I love the casual style, relatively simple ingredients and techniques. You have inspired me to cook more than I have in the past. Btw, your chili dog recipe is just simply BANGIN!!!! Thank you for the great vids. Please keep them coming. Scott Mt Wolf, PA

That mashed potato taco is an affront to God and I want one.

This potato ricer is unbelievable!!!! Makes fantastic mashed potatoes. Greatly appreciate all your suggestions for kitchen utensils....

Philosophy of mash potatoes in every detail.

I think your shirt calls for some MACAroni and cheese!

I’m all about Stoner food creations, and that mashed potato taco at the end was absolutely epic! Awesome stuff!

Been watching your videos for the past month. I love how you interact with the fans, man! Keep at it!

Love all the mash potato ideas. The taco is a great way to use up left over mashed potatoes. You've got me thinkin, Sam; how about left over meat loaf and mashed potato taco with sour cream, green onions, and potato chips (for that ever lovin crunch)?

I appreciate how your cooking videos are longer than most. I have a difficult time with my appetite so I watch cooking videos when I eat to help stimulate the appetite when i can. I've been that way since I was a kid. So I dont have to keep switching to something else. Anyways hope that makes sense thanks for ur show

Love this guy's personality

I love the faces you made lol makes me want to make some myself , also I’m subscribed right now

Just made these for christmas dinner. They are godlike.

But it’s still the best cooking channel and gives me inspiration

Dude, you rock. Best cooking channel by far!

“ can we all get to a place where we cook again” Insert c19 lockdowns lol

I've started putting chipotle peppers in everything due to your recommendation. HUGE flavor bomb. Love them in scrambled eggs!

That taco he made at the end... Is something I would only make if I was extremely high and broke.

Bought the ricer......Thanks for the idea!!!!!!!! Great product.

Duck yeah potato tacos for thanksgiving

For sure making this on Thursday

Keyword: HEAVY CREAM ! Love that stuff. Gracias!

That last creation came from a Hell of a drunk night out and no TacoBell for miles. This is the kind of thing we used to dare people to eat.

Just joined as a member of your channel! Every thing you make looks amazing. Love your attitude and the format of the show. Keep it up!

Just saying from personal experience I have never had lumps when using the smasher. Just takes a little bit of elbow grease. That’s how they taught us in culinary school. But the ricer is pretty cool to use.

Your kitchen is what dreams are made of

Im IRISH and I approve of this 🔥🔥🇮🇪

Hey, Sam ! Mixing the mashed potatoes with pickled cucumbers and spring onion is also a great combination! You should try it. Also another nice way to cook potatoes to try is to dry them in the same pot you boiled them, after draining all the water. Just keep them on the heat for few seconds(as they can stick to the pot quickly),toss them around (off the eat, with the lid on, of course) and repeat few times. Finish off with milk and butter until you reach the desired consistency.

Mashed potatoes are one of my favorites. I have riced them and it does make the best mashed potatoes.

Ricer is totally life changing. I got one after watching this video and I will never go back to the masher. It's a game changer.

those spuds look bumpin

Just discovered you on KZfaq after having watched your show on local San Diego television several years ago. Keep up the great recipe videos!

If you don’t have a ricer, you can press the cooled potatoes through a sieve with a spatula.

I'm making these potatoes this Thanksgiving

When I cook my potatoes I add onions and garlic to the water while boiling and it adds flavor to the potatoes. Then I use my small ricer and make them with boat loads of butter. Best thing is I use potatoes, onions and garlic I grow. I did this just tonight for my father-in-laws birthday dinner that my wife delivered next door.

When he took the first bite he had a mouth gasm it looked like 😂

Still need to make America cook again. 5 years later.

That taco in the end lmao

I've always used a hand masher, and rarely do I get any lumps, you just need to spend more than a minute mashing, and after you are done, add your extras (cream, butter salt etc) and stir it around with a big spoon until its creamy as.

I use the same method that you do to make my potatoes, but i simmer some rosemary in the cream and butter before i add it to the potatoes.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family (fur babies too). Thanks for all the great ideas.

Lots of pepper for me, but I learned so much from your video. Gotta get me one of those presses!

This is my staple go to recipe every time. It's the best!

Dope video sam!!!! Im going to have try that!!! I like your spin on some of these old school recipes.. I think its dope!!👍👍

Game changing potato tool tip right here

Just bought my potato ricer and will be making these !!!!

I've been cooking ever since I left home and that's a couple decades now. LOL I have never heard of a potato ricer. Thanks for the education, Sam. BTW, that t-shirt is fan-frickin'-tastic! 😁

Ty for the tip about the potato ricer

You can deep fry that taco...add mayo cabbage and salsa....YUM

This channel is amazing. So happy I found it

I agree Yukon Goldie's are the best and they cook fast. Im all about gadgets I need one of those Ricers thank you.

so yummy tacos mashed potato I try this..thanks for sharing more power

Add some freshly grated nutmeg (that's a must have) and a bit of creme fraiche maybe sour cream will do the job, too. Also goes well with crispy danish fried onions or aromaitc swiss cheese, but add that as long as the mash is hot so it melts well. you are welcome

Perfect! I was just looking for this! Love the way you making cooking look effortless!

I've always loved cooking and experimenting with my recipes or getting ideas from great chefs like yourself. You add this amazing sense of real-ness that so many other chefs don't so thanks for that. It's refreshing to be able to purchase the ingredients at a regular grocery store.

I love coming back to this video, because Sam has a red Make America Cook Again shirt, but also partakes, but is also a successdul restaurant and business owner, but is also hating shutdowns, but is also in favor of safety. I think I know which side he lands on, but I think I also have no idea. And I think that's the point. Enjoy what you like, and politics can take a backseat. Just enjoy what you enjoy.

Sam just made the perfect mashed potatoes and they were fantastic...thank you and Happy Holidays!

Yum. I always eat potato chips with potato salad. Now I will try with mashed

Just subscribed to your channel last night, love everything I've seen so far and just ordered my potato ricer, mashed potatoes are my absolute favorite thanks man!! Keep the good stuff coming 😁

I'd like to mention a great addition to mashed potatoes is shredded parmesan cheese, like 1/2c to that would be phenomenal.

I just signed up to make mashed potatoes for our work Thanksgiving party and was looking for a new recipe...shoulda known you’d have an awesome one!

Who doesn't love mashed potatoes!!!!

Cooking has never been the problem, it's the cleaning.

I'm British and I love a good crisp (potato chip) sandwich, have to admit, you took the game to another level with that taco at the end. My mouth has turned into a literal waterfall mate

Oh and the mashed potatoes... they're incredible! Great tips

Great job as always Sam! Plenty of time bed thanksgiving to wrap my head around every dish! I'm planning on a split turkey this year for the first time and I'd love to see your version. Just an idea for a video!

Sam, try a corn tortilla with mashed potatoes and panfry them into tacos. After pan frying, sprinkle some cotija cheese inside. Fresh lettuce and tomato is up to you. Enjoy!

Hey Sam, Greetings from Canada man. You know I have always been interested in cooking as a whole but lately you have inspired me to try out some of your recipes for these great dishes you make. Great work Sam.

I've been a viewer since your PBS days...today I made your "best breakfast potatoes" recipe...converted the hubby from a beef to pork chorizo lover...thanks Sam, it was simple and satisfying...I was also very surprised the pork chorizo seemed to have way less grease than the beef, better consistency😆

It just looks so mouthwatering

They are phenomenal the texture is luxurious my always go to mashed potatoes thanks Sam for such great food ideas.

I can watch him everyday… food be looking so good

Wow, gotta get a ricer! Enjoyed, TYVM!
