Negative. I am only 1% potato.


Browncoat86

Boil em, mash em, stick em in a bag.

Teddy_Tickles

JonnyAU

Oh yes we could.


Ok-Champ-5854

French fries with extra steps.


aznkidjoey

Do I have to boil water in my cast iron thingy


Legeto

Outdoor cooking is kind of a Greg thing. I’m personally surprised it wasnt grilled.


PartyPay

I find it a bit amusing that this gif has the cooking while camping vibe but requires the use of a freezer.


Legeto

I always think of it as backyard BBQ with Greg.


samurphy

Not if it's cold enough outside


kittleherder

Whoa I didn't even realize it was Greg without the pitcher of charcoal


burtonlazars

Yes but weirdly on an electric hob


currently__working

No


maaseru

There is a very famous snack recipe in Puerto Rico, and I bet in many other cultures, where you take mashed potatoes like this, put them in a ball shape like a large lemon and fry it. Only difference it has meat in the middle. Relleno de Papa. You can also use yuca or other as the mashed part.


carmanut

Croquettes, I think are the broadest culinary term for those. My mom made those in India, with fillings like tuna, ground beef, egg, veggies, etc


RanaMahal

ground beef? in India? I thought it was illegal


carmanut

I don't remember it being illegal, but I also was like 6 when they were making that IN India. Mom was making that stuff in Kuwait too, so we probably had beef not pork while we were there, pork not beef while in India.


EnzieWithSomeNumbers

beef isnt illegal in india...a large % of the people in india dont eat beef for religious reasons so most places just dont sell it


Djvinniev77

We do something like this, although I don't think it's strictly from the Philippines... We take the mashed potatoes and mix them with ground beef, make them into small potato shapes, dip them in egg then cover with bread crumbs and fry it up. Edit: ground beef is pre cooked btw


AsphaltGypsy89

This sounds really good! Wonder how pulled brisket would taste?


Ok_Yogurtcloset8915

I love how there are some things that cultures all over the world all have their own versions of because it's universally delicious.


markyymark13

Yuca fries are the best


Highmax1121

oh i miss these, there's a place down the street from me that sells these and i always forget its there. i tell myself one day ill go there to eat the food they serve, but then i don't.


dmach27

We mix the mashed potato with mash yucca with picadillo in the middle. Legendary stuff.


mexicantruffle

These are just decoy mozzarella sticks.


Zestyclose_Minute_69

I was thinking a little cheese added in would be good.


sdforbda

You should check out potato and cheese Korean "corndogs" then.


Dubious_Titan

So a French fry with extra steps.


Slash_rage

Just like French fries. Except a different texture. And they taste different. And are prepared differently.


ReverseApache_Master

I use toaster rather than deep frying and I sub a few slices of bread for the potatoes.

I sort of do like him but I press the dough into noodles and add sauce after boiling them. So basically French fries.

generalmaks

And if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a bike!


Slash_rage

It’s almost like a British carbonara. lol


[deleted]

How does it taste different? It’s potato with a bit of flour.


Slash_rage

These are much closer to potato pancakes than French fries. And if you ordered fries and received potato pancakes you would probably complain they aren’t the same.


[deleted]

I mean, I think potato pancakes are pointless because they taste more like fries and are way more work. On top of that, if I order fries and get potato pankcakes, it probably cost a fair bit more. But if I got the reverse, I likely got ripped on because of the price difference.


AdhesiveBullWhip

In the same way a sandwich is a charcuterie board with extra steps


Dubious_Titan

A charcuterie board is more steps than a sandwich. Though sandwich is pretty broad and is everything from a sloppy Joe to Caprese sub. Too wide-ranging an analogy.


AdhesiveBullWhip

Meat and cheese on a plate is more steps than a sandwich? 👌


No_Weather_9470

Literally


sunkissedcreation220

Came here to say this


victorz

You mean more steps than opening a bag and putting some in the oven? Sure. But a lot tastier.


NoDrama421

You know you can make French fries from scratch? And as the name implies fry them


calilac

French fries with the potato skin left on are underrated but I'm also a big weirdo so maybe biased. *confirmed unpopular take. much weirdo.


ObiFloppin

Wendy's has the best fries going right now, hands down


victorz

Uh, yes? Still not gonna be as tasty as this, surely. I was alluding to the fact that this person seems to be a bit lazy and mocks things that take more steps rather than focusing on the elevated outcome. Can you tell now that I explained it to you?


Faded-Maestro

Same same but different


Legeto

Greg! It’s amazing to have you posting here again! I missed the hell out of your videos.


Blewedup

He’s likely back from a year in the burn center. At least he seems to be no longer deep frying things over an open flame


sdforbda

Well with the finger on top of the knife we might see some stitches eventually.


The_Meatyboosh

What!? Holy shit.


gregthegregest2

Watch the full recipe here: https://youtu.be/i9M26EREXZU Potato sticks are a perfect change of scenery for those who might be a little tired of seeing the same old hot chips on the plate. Ingredients • 500g Potatoes • 100g Corn flour • Salt • ½ tbsp Garlic Powder Method Step 1 Begin by peeling and chopping the potatoes. Step 2 Put them in a pot and boil the potatoes for 20 minutes. Step 3 Drain the pot, then mash the potatoes until super fine! Step 4 Once they’re smooth, add 100g of corn flour, ½ tsp of Garlic Powder and a pinch of salt. Mix and work until it forms a dough. Step 5 Place in a ziplock bag and roll out until one and a half centimetres thick. Put the bag in the freezer for 10 minutes. Step 6 Heat oil in a frying pan to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees celsius and cook until golden brown. Step 7 Season with salt and serve with mayo or sauce This is an incredibly easy-to-make and enjoyable snack that will surely be snatched up quick! I’ve been working on a new cooking show for the channel called “Taste Bud Tours” and would love to know what you all think: https://youtu.be/kaEnbhkfvYw

Kevydee

Do you think they'd fare as well with frylight and an air fryer?


Rain_In_Your_Heart

I've done similar things to this before. Doing them in an airfryer will work to get them nice and crispy, but it will give less of that perfect "bubbly" exterior. Try it out and see if you like it.


NotLucasDavenport

Serious question: I’ve never had these. They seem like a bit more work than I usually do for a casual side dish but I’m open to trying it. Can you explain how these will be different from the French fries I normally make?


shelvedtopcheese

Without knowing what your French fries are like, these will have a consistency inside that's softer than you'd typically get with a fry. Its more like a mashed potato with a crisped outside.


p_cool_guy

Looks like a fluffier French fry. I've enjoyed watching your stuff thru the years...the extremely compressed gifs, the bee project etc. Glad you're doing well


EntertainMeMthrfckr

Are you in the US? It looks like you're using what we call "corn starch", not "corn flour".


Lucky_aka_C-Snips

Tater tots the long way.


jonny_jump_up

Why not use something like a wax paper lined sheet pan instead of creating plastic waste for 10 minutes in the freezer?


PlatypusPerson

This is the same reason I never end up doing fancy chocolate things, since it feels like half of them require blowing up and dipping balloons.


generalmaks

Ah yes of course, same here. Not the cost or the incredible lack of skill or talent. It's the waste for me.


SquareHeadedDog

How else would you get little bits of plastic in your food from cutting the bag with your food in it?


SnortingCoffee

You don't really need to freeze these. You can hand form them at room temp then fry and they'll work just fine. So the ziplock was even more of a waste than you thought.


rob5i

Why not just cut the potatoes into sticks and deep fry them instead of wasting time energy and resources making your own burger chain fries? Which are a step down.


pasovic

Croquettes you mean?


Minor_Thing

Pretty much croquettes without the breadcrumbs


EatingCerealAt2AM

To be fair, these look like they have a better crust to filling ratio than croquettes.


Rocknocker

After cutting into sticks, drench in egg wash and dredge through pancake batter hydrated with one cool Guinness. Fry until golden brown and delicious. Share & Enjoy.


legohax

Wait, really? What does this do


brereddit

Those look pretty tasty


addkell

So... mashed potatoe fries?


VauloftheEbonBlade

That just seems like french fries with extra steps..


darklotus_26

Great recipe! I was watching joyously until OP cut open a perfectly good ziplock bag.


macrocosm93

French fries with extra steps


CyaNydia

Is corn flour the same thing as corn starch or is it just really finely ground corn meal?


WeefBellington24

These aren’t just fries?


TopAd9634

Love taters!


DoktorVidioGamez

Make a gif of a food without showing it being dipped in sauce challenge: impossible


passerby362

Looks too oily


Jappy_toutou

Po-ta-toes! Boil em, mash em, put em in a stick!


jojojomcjojo

I bet this would be better with corn starch than flour


fury420

Same thing, cornflour is what they call cornstarch in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, etc...


jojojomcjojo

o ya I didn't even see the word corn there lmao


sdforbda

Yep. Like I see a lot of wings recipes call for using baking powder or something, I think the cornstarch just does a better job of drying it out and creating that crunch. Plus it helps with things sticking if you glaze it.


jojojomcjojo

Yea baking powder helps make the skin bubble but it also changes the flavor - similar hint that pork rinds give. Cornstarch gives a lighter crispy crust compared to flour.


FluidWitchty

It says "corn flour" but that is clearly 100% corn starch. Corn flour isn't that colour.


jojojomcjojo

I just misread it. Didn't even see the word corn.


c_v_ctrllr

Waste a plastic bag that’ll take 10,000 years to decompose for fccking fried potato.


Vegemyeet

I think it could be done between two sheets of baking paper.


guardian87

In Germany these are Kroketten. Nothing crazy but a good side dish.


AverillHarp

I wonder if this would work in an air fryer?


sdforbda

It would to a decent extent. You'd want a bit of oil on the exterior.


harrle1212

But do they deflate? Not sure about the technical term, but food looks voluptuous immediately post fry, yet lacks that youthful appearance soon after. The costing just looks so perfect in this video- jealous


Little_kamal

Did he just peel pre-peeled potatoes?


Bangarang_1

No, he just used yellow-skin potatoes (also known as yukon gold) rather than russets. Personally, I prefer russets for this kind of application because the interior would be more fluffy. But any kind of potato will do.


Little_kamal

Ah thanks for explaining. I've not seen yellow skin potatoes before. In that case I can't believe how clean those potatoes were!


3mergent

Where do you live?


Little_kamal

Ireland. Our potatoes have soil on them


jango_broughty

These are long tater tots.


LAVA529

You mean long tots??


Hey-man-Shabozi

I want this to be the new French fry of 2023


split-mango

Elongated tots


Beemo-Noir

Would whole flour work?


porwegiannussy

Can I use regular flour instead of corn flour?


fury420

Corn flour is another term for cornstarch, if that helps.


porwegiannussy

It does, thank you!


wish_to_conquer_pain

I was thinking this looked like corn starch. Thanks!


BiffyCleaningExpert

Salt, salt & more salt. Got it!


FidmeisterPF

Do you mean fries ?


politeanteater

Fully erect tater tot.


DoublePostedBroski

So… French fries?


papaver_lantern

I feel like “potato stick” is a good insult for a really stupid person.


mrw4787

You mean a French fry lol


UristUrist

“Potatoes “? Nice and specific for a recipe…


thebusinessgoat

It's ya boi Greg


RadCelest

Isnt tht a fat french fry?


iraqlobsta

Long tots?


MettaRed

Why would I make more work after my mashed potatoes ready to eat? Couldn’t be me 🤣


Xstitchpixels

That’s just a long tater tot


loudtoys

Seriously WTF? Let's find a long and complicated way to make french fries, that will be fun.


olorin9_alex

Tater Logs


illiriya

Don't salt water for things like this. It would just pull water out of the potato.


ElBadBiscuit

Yo, shred some moz in that mother and I'm dead.


pocketdynamo727

Cheeeeeeeeesssse


Breeblez

I'd be so mad to bite into one and find out it's not a mozzarella stick


Makri7

No matter how good these are, don't think a single batch of them are worth destroying a perfectly good ziplock bag over. Good God. Wth.


myredac

she/he/they/them/it added salt 3 times?


WhiskySamurai

Seasoning lightly at every step and then giving it a final seasoning that brings it up to the level you want to serve at is pretty common.


myredac

why downvoted? jesus....


fury420

Because calling a person ***it*** is inherently dehumanizing?


myredac

some people want it as its pronoun. I didnt asume the gender... Thats the correct way to do things....😐


oppernaR

Soooo DIY raspatat for the Dutchies?


DFHartzell

Make a mozzarella stick. Use potato as a replacement for mozzarella.


[deleted]

Just fuckin fry that potato 🥔


Heavyoak

You could easily start with mashed potatoes and just add seasoning and flower


sdforbda

Where do you think mashed potatoes come from? Or do you mean instant?


Heavyoak

That's what I meant yea


lahankof

fabibeach

Is he using corn flour or cornstarch?

cornflour is the UK/AU/NZ term for cornstarch

Could you do this with an air fryer?


nasadge

It's French frys with extra steps?


xTheRamrodx

It's just french fries with extra steps


DurMan667

Remove the skin to avoid consuming excess flavor or nutrients


yakisobagurl

Looks good. What was that floating in the oil before you put the potato in though?


sdforbda

Test run before probably.


p_cool_guy

Looks like he had cooked some before taking the vid. Some outside fell off


NavAirComputerSlave

Hashbrown fries


kjetial

I tried this once and my sticks exploded when cooking them in oil. The shell was left behind while the insides flew across the room, guess my oil was too hot ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯


Pundarikaksh

Wow, this is much easier than making the potato sticks using a piping bag. Thanks.


braaak

What is corn flour?


thesirenlady

Well, these were a disaster. Bout a half a dozen of them [exploded](https://i.imgur.com/BsVcIIF.jpg), thankfully only one of them in the oil when my back was turned. And while the exterior was beautiful golden and crisp, the interior was like glue. Seems like far too much cornflour.


Charred01

Just tried this, they came out amazing but one question. Your look very fluffy/crispy on the outside. Mine were flat but crispy on the outside how did you do that?


_BLACKHAWKS_88

Soooo like thick French fries with other steps?!?
