- Yummy savory potato cakes mixed with scallions, garlic and bacon? Not this time. How about potato cakes from 1796 that are flavored with wine and sugar. This is weird. How will they turn out?

Please don't call my tin pot aluminum. It really hurts his feelings.

@@Bozemanjustin Oh nonsense! If we didnt speak...who would keep you guys in line? 😅

It looks like steel to me :)
Every time I see this little house, be it from the outside or its interior, I am overcome with wholesomeness :3
thankyou so much!
i totally agree, i love this kind of historical videos and have to thank the producer for this, this is a gift :) i hope, you all are fine, i just watch the movie the great escape, love this movie..
I want to see the house this is only the kitchen building
i think, you can see the House in another Video
I thought you lived in there? Is this just a set you film in? And you live in a modern house? Love the touch of
In Australia we use the left over mashed potato's and veggies from dinner and pattie them then fry them. We call it Bubble and Squeek.😊🥰
Doesn’t it have to have sausages too to be Bubble & Squeak?
@@YeshuaKingMessiah No, Just potato's and veg. Meat is most often finished off at dinner.. 😊
Same in Scotland ...... Glad you Aussies & us Scots have such great taste 😃
@@jamesreid359 My Mum was a Scot. Maybe her good taste rubbed off on to my Aussie Dad..🤣😊
@@anngerschwitz4132 That sounds awesome
"This cat is a full time job" cracked me up!! Your channel is the best on CZcams!!
I was looking for the cat, not appreciating that it was on her back😂❤❤
I just want to say, off topic, I really love how interactive you are with us. You may not reply to everyone, but you do sure try to like all of our comments. 😊♥️
Thank you for caring about us as we do about you ♥️
Missy that is really sweet 😭I do care about you. I consider you all to be my friends and growing up without many that is a treasure worth more than gold.
@@EarlyAmerican ♥️♥️♥️
Aww, Justine! ❤️ I'm sorry you didn't have many friends growing up. You seem like such a sweet person. ❤️
My 82 year old granny (who loves both channels!!) she makes potato cakes- no wine, adds diced green onions/salt/pepper, and does the rest like your receipt except she fries them in lard. They’re REALLY good- no sauce either. She also uses leftover white beans and makes bean cakes the same way. (We’re in rural northeast Arkansas)
No sugar in either of them though
I was just thinking that those would be better with scallions/green onions. Salt and black pepper are a given, or at least salt.
Bean cakes sound so good, fried in lard, yummy
my mother used to do the same potato cakes :)
We are neighbours. Southeast missouri, here.
Even when the food may not turn out so great, your vibe and cat are awesome 💗😺 - my grandmother had an old American recipe book that she got from her grandmother, and I vividly remember some of the recipes had been struck through using an old ink pen and salty comments as to the taste/quality of the items written in the margins. Apparently my great-great grandmother had strong opinions on food and wasn't afraid to let it be known. When one of my aunts asked my grandmother if she'd ever made one of the scratched through recipes, grandmother looked shocked and said "we don't cook the struck through recipes in this house!" 🤣
Love your grandmother’s spunk!
I don't blame her. Years later she won't make the same mistake again.
I have collected cookbooks for a long time and of course discovered many struck recipes ☺️ l have never made one 🧑🍳 If that cook wasn't going to make it again I'm not going to make it at all ✔️
I love that!! Thank you for sharing a bit of your Grandmother
I give recipes letter grades and I don't cook anything less than a B and A++ recipes are cooked regularly! 🤣
I’m half icelandic and half German. My Scandinavian ancestry sprinkles white sugar (along with butter and salt! But NEVER wine 😂) on white potatoes, mostly to be eaten to balance out salted or smoked meats. My ancestors have done it for hundreds of years, and my family still eats them this way. Maybe Mrs Simmons was of Scandinavian ancestry? Now, the wine-?? Maybe she was tired 😂
Interesting. My grandfather (German/Swedish/Scottish ancestry) sprinkles sugar on rice.
@@stilltrying619 my father would put sugar on rice then add some milk for dessert
@@stilltrying619That’s how my mother served rice for breakfast, sometimes, when I was growing up; with a little bit of sugar and milk. She was of German ancestry, mostly.
Sugar? Blech.
@@tamaramorton8812 we always added sugar and cinnamon to the white rice. The only time my mother made rice was when she was making stuffed peppers or pigs in the blanket. The extra we had for a snack or breakfast....Now we probably had two or three kinds of potatoes at every meal, but hardly ever any rice lol.
I love your honesty about these potato cakes. Clearly, MishMish loves her human companions.
@@ebola6658 Agreed. The wine and sugar had me asking the same question as Justine, why?
How were they without the sauce? Or just with butter?
MishMish is quite the talker. Out of all of our cats (who were rescues) only one talked a lot and it was a male.
@@cyndiburns7932 Simply, kitty is very affectionate.
@Ebola Sweetness and saltiness mutually reinforce and complement each other. Otherwise, why are sugar and salt added together in brines? It has been done this way for centuries and will continue to be done. Read the composition of any sauce, & ketchup - there is salt and sugar.
I’m sure y’all are glad you get eggs 🥚 from your chickens 🐓!! I paid $5.39 for a dozen large eggs last night at grocery store! 😮
These prices are crazy
I paid 7 dollars the other day for a dozen I'm in Las Vegas Nevada 😡 crazy crazy and there is talk about bananas eggs and milk going up even higher god please be with us
Hello everyone! Justine, your videos are so therapeutic! Makes me want to leave the city and live in the country...such peaceful life! ❤
If you do you won't regret it.
Will make it one of my goals then...just need some peace and quiet in my life!
I love that you bring history to life. It really makes you ponder the work that people went through. Can’t imagine the misery of cooking in the summer months
Such a good idea to have the oven outside! In Australia, we used to have separate kitchens. The kitchen was actually a separate, freestanding room.
I was just thinking, as an older person, that it’s so lovely and comforting that there are young people like you and Ron who care about keeping the (good) old American ways alive - thank you:)
I grew up on a farm and it was my job to cook dinner when I got home from school.The parents were sorting dried tobacco leaves in the barn.As an old guy who started cooking over 65 years ago, I really like this channel. Brings back memories
You're such a good cat mom. Glad there are bad recipes even back then lol.
80% of the recipes are good but boy the bad ones are bad.
Potato pancakes! My Dad made these for us at supper all the time while i was growing up! He fried them in the frying pan and we ate them with ketchup. SO GOOD!
Yes ketchup!! We also added onions sometime bacon or just whatever veggies were left from the night before …
I am preparing this recipe in France for the dinner. I Wish my family will like it. Thanks Justine !
The boiled mashed potatoes, flour and egg yolks is how you make gnocchi, but man, that receipt went right off the rails!
It sure did lol
@Ki Key
That is what the TITLE says... Potato CAKES
I thought, if she just left the wine out, they would be perfectly acceptable potato cakes.
To me the recipe read as to add the butter, sugar and wine into the potatoes not that other way. As someone else said, they probably should have been fried.
@@lisahopes9956The recipe calls for the wine , butter and sugar to be added with the flour and after the potatoes cakes are baked.
Love tater cakes, (quiet I'm from the south lol.) They are awesome with cheese onion and bacon with optional eggs. Great video always look forward to seeing the kitty and chickens, stay warm!
Yes very yummy Indeed.
Such a relaxing video while the wind and rain rages around me. Your videos are a blessing to many.thank you.
I bet they’d be really good if you add a little salt, pepper, and onions to the batter. Serve warm with plain melted butter. ☺️
Home after going to the ER (to discover my pain was kidney stones) thanks for posting something sweet and relaxing as usual ❤
Eeek I hope that you're feeling better now.
My husband and I absolutely love your channel. We look forward to seeing your videos 😊😍
Is it possible to have your videos a little longer? They are so relaxing & I love watching them. Justine is so skilled.
@EarlyAmerican Thank you for these videos. I have such bad anxiety for the past 3 years, but ever since finding your content it’s helped just CHILL ME OUT. Thank you wholeheartedly
Justine, potato cakes look so good without the sauce, Amelia! Especially on a snowy wet night. The cabin looks wonderful and cozy. See you both soon! xoxo
Hi Justine & Ron 👋 I will have to try to bake my potato cakes next time. Yeah, I think the wine & sugar killed it for me 😊
😊I really enjoy watching videos with no talking!😊
..the old time recipes are fun to try.👌🏿and delicious...most of the time. 😂
Wine and sugar on potatoes?! But does Ron like them?We will have to see. You look great and hope you are feeling a lot better!❤
He will give his review in the chew chat. Thank you Jen I feel better! I was in a boxing match with death and whopped his butt.
Hi - just watched a Tribal u tube video that showed your videos cooking various items. So many people commented that they watch your show faithfully, as do I. Another fun video to enjoy. Thank you so much. Sorry the potato cakes were not good. Can't all be winners, I suppose. Keep up the great work. Kitty loves you so much.
Another potato receipt! Loved see all your critters too! I've heard of having a chip on your shoulder but, a cat on your shoulder? Lol Oh MishMish! 😺
Another great video, Justine, thanks! I often watch one or two of yours before bed to put me in a peaceful frame of mind. Out of curiosity, did they used to call recipes receipts? I always wonder when I see the word "receipt" at the end of your videos...
LOL...the look on Rons face when he smelled the potato cake! Priceless! Stanky Tater Cakes.
I love potato cakes, recipe hasn't changed much, I don't know about the poor over mixture, it's usually eaten with Kachup, or plain... Love the vibes, on ur videos. Thank you for all your hard work and time. 😀
We Watch Your Great Videos Every Morning , They Never Get Old ! Two Great American Patriot Historians ! 🙂👍
In the intro showing your chickens, what kind are the back & white speckled ones? I love your animals in the videos! I can’t wait for all your homestead dreams to come true. Keep the videos coming! 🐓😻🐈
The black and white barred? Those are Barred Rocks (single combs). Dominiques if they are rose combed. I couldn't see the girls up close to determined their combs. The Dominiques were the oldest breed that was brought over by the settlers. Barred Rocks didn't come in until much later, first recorded sometime after the Civil War. Both breeds are hardy and good egg layers of brown eggs.
I make potato cakes about once a week for breakfast. Leftover mashed potatoes, egg, chopped onions, flour. Make patties and fry in a little oil or bacon grease.
Thank you for still posting today ❤️ Look forward to these every Wednesday!!
Thank you Emma dear.
Shalom! I really do enjoy your broadcast of the days gone by very much. What kind of wood do you use to cook with. The embers and charcoal make cooking your wonderful dishes a dream. Thank you and Blessings to you all!
Ron is a lucky man. God bless you for making these videos.
Thank you so much for choosing the old-fashioned way to do things and seeing to it that they're done right and sharing everything with us
We sometimes make such flapjacks (it is possible from the remains of mashed potatoes): we also add yolks or eggs, sometimes sour cream, flour. We stuff them with fried or boiled minced meat (meat is boiled, then minced meat is made, of course), mixed with spices, parsley, green onions. Flat cakes are pinched to hide the filling inside them, and flattened with a spatula, dusting them with flour, on both sides. Then pan fried on both sides. Eaten hot / warm, it's better, but you can also cool.
In our cuisine, they are called zrAzy (pl.; sing. - zrAza)- these are flat cakes, or flat meat croquettes with stuffing inside. For example, potato zrazy with meat farce [meat-farced stuffing].
My mom used to make potato cakes with leftover mashed potatoes. Good stuff!
The Cat - another hard day of keeping her from floating away.
Precious little Mishmish. ❤
I love that you let us know when something doesn’t taste good. I thought the wine would be better drunk than used in the recipe. 😄
Oh, absolutely! I thought that too. A waste of wine.
My Granny would make these with leftover mashed potatoes without the wine.
Then she would fry them in a little lard or oil. Like a potato pancake.
The egg whites they never would throw away. They would use those for cakes, frostings or for cooking.
I nearly choked with laughter at the fulltime-job-cat! My mum had 2 like that. I wouldn't put wine in potatos, I'd just add salt and maybe a drizzle of melted butter instead of the sauce. Loved this!
That era was extremely hard times! Yet I find myself so relaxed & even quite envious of that simple life...as opposed to this upside down world we live in today!!
The wonderful tranquility of your videos is truly a tonic to us all!! Thank you!
Potato cakes are divine! You can make as simple or complex as you want but just a little salt, egg, flour, potatoes and oil in the pan. We make ours from left over cold mashed potatoes. I must try making them like you did. Once my mother-in-law decided to try a new version, gee whiz, it was truly awful but we had the biggest laugh. She put bran, lots of pepper, garlic and several other spices not normally used with potatoes. Thanks again for a awesome video. Justine ai hope you are feeling better. Prayers going up for you both.
Thank you for filming your hens. i don't have hens anymore and I sure do miss them.. I had a very nasty rooster though; had to use the lid of the metal garbage can to protect me like a shield from his attacks:( It is so great you have the courage to try receipts from the old cook books .Not about to try this weeks though. Cheers
Your videos are good for my inner peace. Thank you Justine ❤️
I think you guys are brilliant. It makes me want to cook and recreate old historical things again 👍 keep up with the content
Looks good, but I think I would go for a savory sauce.
Sugar was expensive and a treat. So it had to be good on everything😊
Mish Mish sure does have separation anxiety when not with you. The look on your face Justine after you tried the potato cake was so funny, you crack me up.
I love the flip and tuck of the skirts, my granny used to do that every time she sat down. Never seen anyone else do it. Can't wait to try your recipes on my own hearth
I love your silent cooking videos so very much and I wsoecially look forward to the sweet little pleased smile you give when you taste each recipe - it made me laugh when you did not make such a face this time!
This took me back to childhood. I grew up in the Smoky Mountain area, and my neighbor would bake us homemade blackberry cobbler if we went and picked the blackberries in the forest. Thank you for such soothing, nostalgic content ❤
You had me at potato. I'm going to try this but skip the wine.
My Great Grandmother taught my mother to make these, but pan fried in a cast iron in butter. I MISS these. thank you for showing us and resparking my memory. May just try them this rainy week.
This is such a wonderful and calming channel! I love history so to see some of the recipes people used to use and how they cooked them is fascinating.
Oh my, agree leave out the wine and sugar. My grandma made potato cakes and bean cakes and fried them in oil in a cast iron skillet. Now those were delish! No sauce needed!
At the end, your reaction to what you tasting made me giggle out loud. Oh my, I can't wait to I join you's at the table. 😄😊
You don't believe how excited I got when I saw the thumbnail.
It's 1:30am as I watch this and jolted up from bed because in eastern Westphalia, Germany, we have a local dish that looks identical to the thumbnail picture which barely anyone outside of the region knows. It is also made with potatos: Pickert.
Seems like the dishes aren't the same after all - so sadly no ancient Pickert recipe for me to try - but these still look like something worth trying. And maybe this dough doesn't stick as much as a Pickert dough does. (Pickert comes from pecken, which means to stick in our dialect and that is sure does very much. Once had to pry a dried spot of dough off the counter with one of those stove scratchers.)
No matter what you put in potato cakes....you can't beat em. Gonna make some later today because of this video 👍
A version of our Bubble n Squeak made with cooked cabbage, spring onions and Irish Colcannon made with cooked cabbage/kale and leeks and is much creamier than potato cakes. Usually served with dinner whereas Bubble n Squeak is generally served with cooked breakfast
That sauce was quite popular in colonial America, used with puddings and other dishes. It was equal parts melteed butter, sugar and dry sack wine. Sack has not been produced in centuries but was a fortified wine (strong) mostly like dry sherry made today. So if you you use a sweet sherry or desert wine I can see how the sweetness could be excessive. Try that again with a dry sherry.
That’s what I was thinking too, that it would have been a fortified wine.
Just watching this with the fireplace crackling in the background is so relaxing
Strange sauce for the potatoes cakes. Thank you Justine for both recipes. Mish Mish have bonded with you really well.
Yes, Mish Mish truly 'bonded' with Justine in this video. Cracked me up.
I learned to make potatoes cakes that taste delicious. If you use leftover mashed potatoes and form them into patties, mashed potatoes that taste good originally, you saute them in a pan with butter. My father used to love them. I really enjoy watching you make these old receipts. 🥘 Justine! 🥘
I really enjoyed getting a glimpse of our past
Oh lol I have a cat that loves to sit on my shoulders while I watch you & other videos on CZcams….she was definitely checking your kitty out too. Great video & it’s obvious so much effort gone in to the authenticity….thank you from a new subscriber
When my mother in law was still alive....this is how she do for the left over mashed potato. She either bake it or just fry it with oil in the skllet. She always telling us before that never throw anything food but try to create something that will eat again. I sure miss her 😮💨😮💨😮💨
When your rooster crows in the video, my little dog’s ears perk up and she tries to check out where it’s coming from. 😂
I think the essential qualities, when you are presenting a video, are friendliness and approachability. You accomplish this with aplomb.
i so love the sound of the crackling fire---oh and the rooster too!!
I love your cat, so funny. As always I enjoyed watching you cook historically and agree with you about the sauce, good for you for trying it though.
I love every one of these cooking videos. I'd love to live back in a simpler time but thr only thing I couldn't live without is air conditioning. I get so sick if I get too hot. I can live without heat as long as I had a fireplace but not ac. I love all these old recipes. Thank-you for posting
Warms my heart. Thanks so much!
My Grams used to make these, but fried. She served them about the size in your video, like pancakes. With butter & syrup. 💛
Loved the honest reaction from the wine, sugar and butter sauce 😂😂😂
Wonderfully entertaining, thank you. 😊
I want to live like this.. For the most part I think lol.
This cat is SO spoiled! I thought mine were haha!! Love it!
I love potato pancakes. My family eats them with quick pickled cucumber and onion mixed with sour cream. This recipe looks delicious.
I've also had to do some creative postureing to accommodate my cat's. 😆
My mom and now I make what we call potato patties. Put just enough flour to form the patties..adding diced onion before forming the size of a thick burger. Season w Seasoned salt and garlic powder. Fry on medium heat in bacon grease. Yum.
I absolutely adored this video as much as I adore you two lovely people. Thanks for the beauty lesson Justine!! I quite enjoyed it.
Just awesome. Thank you.
I guess they were treating them like a pancake with that sauce. Anything savory surely has to make them a hit. They look lovely. What a sweet, cozy little homestead you all make. ❤
I laughed sooo hard when you put the wine up to your nose, smelled it, and made the face then put it in with the potatoes! Oh MY GOSH! I needed that laugh! :) Great video! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
I would be happy with just the potato cakes and butter 😃
As a history lover I love this channel..keep making these videos makes my day always.
Once again. It's relaxing and calms me watching you two do stuff...lol
I seriously grew up in the wrong time period. Thank you for this video 😊 I’m a huge fan!
Justine & Ron, I love your videos and now my husband is into them. Someday we are going to take a day trip to Ste. Gen, we live in Belleville, IL. Just wanted to say we love your videos and Frontier Patriot also. Congrats to you and Ron on your engagement. Your engagement portrait looks just like the two of you.
I grimaced the minute you poured the wine in. There must be a substitute. Even milk would be an improvement. Love the cat.
Thank you for posting. I did enjoy the video and look forward to more. Off grid 1800/1900 (or today) would never waste egg whites or potato peels. Hunger is/was too real when you are strictly living off the land and there are dozens of things you can do with both.
Such a cozy video to watch after a day of cold rain and wind in the southeast. I'll have to try and make these with the last of the good potatoes, but with butter and Maple syrup. I can't have the wine sauce and drive ... I wonder if that would have been a warm syrup/sauce?
Thank you for your interesting videos! Each of your new videos is a celebration for me! Amazing! Inside the house is much bigger than outside!
Another freat video it's amazing to find these recipes and try them out I'm sure!
Good Evening friends!! 🙂
I would try one, but it may be too sweet for my liking tbh. Good Video. Also the book said "Yolks of Eggs" I don't know where else yolks would be, if it isn't inside an egg lol.
The look on your face waiting for Ron to try this devious concoction is so relatable 😅
