I would love if you u shared the amount of potatoes used and the end product amount... like x amount of muffins, x amount of pancaks, etx.
Sure! It was 16 lbs of sweet potatoes and I got 21 muffins, 18 biscuits, 8 cookies, 7 lbs of gnocchi, and 33 pancakes!
I also got 2 gallon bags of freeze dried sweet potato cubes, not sure on weight amounts before being dried.
@@seedandsparrowhomestead wow! What an amazing amount for food for your family! I'm looking forward to attempting gnocchi! I'm just nervous GF Flour won't turn out the same. I'd hate to waste ingredients
Danny from Deep South homestead is a pro at growing sweet potatoes
Oh yes! I forgot about him, thank you!
I love how real you are Kelsey, we make do with what we have & adapt to suit. Love seeing & hearing your kiddos in the background. Don't ever apologise for being the real you xx
Watch Becky at Acre homestead. She says with her use volume the food saver didn’t hold up. She purchased another restaurant brand and she’s very happy with it.
Id say for price try food saver first. I've had mine for yrs and still using it.
Okay, this is a stretch towards making it multi purpose, but a potato ricer can also be used to make spaetzle. =)
Wow! You do so much in one day. Hope you were able to rest well. Well done! Val C ❤️🙏🏻
I think you are doing really well for teaching yourself all that you have. We all need to do more of that. Hint. Use cottage cheese I place of ricotta. Its cheaper. You freeze it then use 1 mixer beater to mix it up. Looks & tastes just like ricotta. Go girl!!!
Thank you so much! I was thinking about cottage cheese! Great to it works well! 🤍🤍🤍
I was thinking sour cream might work?
26:30 that is literally so satisfying.
I love watching you cook Kelsey, no frills just good, down to earth, family cooking just as I like it. As an Australian I don’t eat a lot of American dishes but I really like your style and ingredients. I’ll definitely try some of these recipes, especially the gnocchi ❤
I don't use what holder either. I simply turn the first 2-3 inches over the top and that does a pretty good job of holding it open. Then I unfold as I need it to go higher. Works well for me.
What a wonderful use of the sweet potatoes! For using what couldn’t be stored you provided some amazing options for your family. Like Matt I am not a fan of sweet potatoes but my husband is. After a disappointing first attempt to grow them, I’ve decided to just buy what I need to preserve some options for my husbands enjoyment. I’d rather utilize the space on something I know I can grow. I think you’ll have an amazing time at HOA. The speaker lineup is inspiring. Have a blessed day Kelsey!
Watch Dandy and Wanda at Deep South Homestead on Sweet Potatoes. They need to be cured to bring out the sweetness. They have 2 or more wonderful videos on how to do this. The soil has to be very loose so I would suggest to add peat and leaves to loosen up your heavy soil. I really didn't know you could just eat them straight out of the garden because you need to raise the sugar content. Another good channel that give every thing you need for all vegetables is Hollis and Nancy.
WOW! Imagine if you'd had a "large" harvest. I'm glad you didn't have to process them all. Good job coming up with a variety of recipes that your family liked.
Have you watched Danny and Wanda on Deepsouth Homestead (I may have mentioned them before)? They have a couple of videos on their sweet potatoes. I'm sure they could answer your questions even though they are down in Mississippi. 😊
I just grow slips from sweet potatoes from the store. I've never had a problem.
That’s awesome!
@@seedandsparrowhomesteadI do thr same with garlic. Dont but seed garlic or slips from someone else or some fancy potato. Just shop local and it will work out better.
I live in Missouri and my grandfather lived in the southeastern portion of Missouri and he always planted his sweet potatoes in sandy soil in a sunny location and he produced upwards of 10 pounds per hill of sweet potatoes
That’s incredible! Thanks for the tips, I’ll try and make that happen next year!
We love sweet potatoes, thank you for the inspiration🥰! I have a food saver vacuum sealer and I couldn’t be without it, you would love it.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video of you and your creations with sweet potatoes.
I was Just thinking and hoping you had a video today. I am watching my canner. Yeah
Aw thank you! Enjoy 🤍
I'm watching mine too, butter beans in smokey tomato sauce.
Yummm... I am doing my first try at dry canning potatoes just one jar. I had room in the canner for one jar, otherwise all the other jars are chicken stock. I can't wait till my pumpkins are ripe and ready to harvest@@lat1419
great idea and some healthy breakfasts. they look amazing perhaps next year you will have a better harvest. here's praying for you. much love to you and the family. xxx
A pitcher works well too for bags ... especially the gallon size ones
I've seen that in place of ricers that you can use a mesh strainer and use a large spoon/ladle to push it through
I would suggest that you invest in a potato fork, a vintage one would be nice but a new one will work well too.
Always my very favorite videos! I love hearing your kiddos playing in the background too.
I’ve enjoyed trying the recipes you’ve shared - the one with the blueberry rolls is my favorite video. You definitely have a gift and I’m so thankful you are sharing it with us. Blessings to your sweet family! 🩵😊
Aw thank you so very much! This is so encouraging. It makes my heart happy to hear you are enjoying so much! Blessings 🤍
I agree...Multi taskers are the way to go unless you do alot of something... I have an electric citrus juicer because 3 times a year, I do about 20 pounds of citrus... Hugs
I feel your pain, my tomatoes all ended up with end rot after taking forever to even ripen. This year for me was not a good year for any crop. Even my zucchinni only wanted to produce only male flowers and I had to use a paint brush to fertalize the very occasional female flower. I was so over the growing season this year. Im ready for fall and winter.
I love how you showed the process from which you worked hard to grow and pick everything regardless of having the tools you would of rather used and then did recipe after recipe showing how you made everything! I'm always amazed to watch your videos! Your a hard worker but I know you will thourally enjoy everything you have prepared for your family! Still my favorite Chanel to watch by far!
I used to not like sweet potatoes however lately I've tasted roasted sweet potatoes with peppers, onions and they taste pretty good when they are seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Try a baked sweet potato with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon then add pecans for the last few minutes of baking. That is a huge slice of heaven. Not particularly low calorie either but the occasional treat it's wonderful.
I find sweet potatoes are super sensitive to dry conditions when they are in the beginning of their life cycle and they really like sandier/looser soil. I also find they do better for me in warmer/hotter summers.
Everything looked amazing. I, too, recently made sweet potato gnocchi ❤
Last year most of mine were small and I just used them for sweet pot. fries. You probably know that you do have to cure your sweet Pot. before you store them?
I have found that when digging carrots, potatoes or any other root vegetable, a garden fork pointed straight down and used to lift the veg is the easiest way not to damage them.
That sounds about right! Now I just need to buy one 😂
I had a dismal potato harvest this year, but I know what I did wrong. I planted Pontiac Reds. Got 12 that were eatable. I made beef stew and enjoyed what I got
You made the best of it! I bet it was a good stew! Thanks for watching 🤍
I don't grow sweet potatoes but if I was getting a good soaking rain once a week, I wouldn't do any additional watering. Especially if you mulch and/or have good soil coverage with the sweet potato foliage. Good luck next year!
sweet potato soup is amazing. all you need is sweet potatoes chicken stock and garlic. and it freezes well too
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
That was a beautiful passage at the end. You did a great job using all those potatoes and you have got a lot of meals in the bank to show for it.
Those sweet potato muffins look divine! Gnocchi is on my list to learn, I’m retiring in a couple of weeks, I’ll have time to make & learn all the stuff.
I have a ton of pumpkins to process, I’m thinking pumpkin gnocchi would be good!?!? Yeah?
Thank you for the cookie idea. I can’t eat flour anymore so this will be very nice 😊
Don’t you just love Laura Ingalls Wilder? When I was a girl I read all of her books and wished I was right there with them.❤❤
Your vidéos are so calming to me and are an inspiration to me to do more in the kitchen. Thank you for posting.
Lots of use out of your harvest sweet potatoes,have nice visit your company and see you agai
Your sweet potato harvest is way better than mine....I had 5 finger sized ones. I had deer that kept eating the leaves off my vines.
Nothing wrong with lumpy potatoes. I tell my family "That not a lump, that's character mixed with love!"
I love that 😂
Have you ever heard of deep South homestead on you tube, Danny and Wanda, he's an expert on sweet potatoes. He has tons and tons of videos on sweet potatoes. All I know about them is they like it hot.have you ever made sweet potatoe casserole so yummy. Nancy from nebraska
Just great Kelsey now i want pancakes 🤤🥞
😂😂😂
My husband brought home a huge box of sweet potatoes last fall just as I was getting into canning, so I canned most of them and now have jars and jars of sweet potatoes I'm struggling to figure out what to do with. 😅 My one son who really loves sweet potato casserole moved out earlier this year, so I'm looking for new recipes to branch out with and get these used up. Definitely going to give those breakfast cookies a try! I bet they would be good with dried cranberries or raisins added to them. Oooh and toasted pecans! Yum.
I would try growing them in a raised bed or container of some sort. It would make harvesting soooo much easier for you. Also they love the sunshine 🌞 You might go watch some of the videos from Guten Gardening. He grows potatoes of both types yearly and in many different ways. He is in 5b, like myself, but that’s not too far off zone-wise. Maybe he’ll have an idea you haven’t thought of yet.
Sweet potatoes thrive on sunshine - for the best yields - all day hot drying sunshine. At least that is my experience. SUN shine. Awesome video (as always) and it all looks so good - got to try your pancakes, muffins, biscuits. Oh my, they look so good for you! I've never liked gnocchi as they felt like I was chewing on old hardened gum. You used cheese to fight that and I simply must try your recipe just in case I'm missing something really good - every one seems to like gnocchi and I want to enjoy it also. THANKS!
Ok, I’ll try the sunniest location possible! Thanks friend 🤍
@@seedandsparrowhomestead I struggle to find sunshne also but I wonder if you planted under a fence, trellis, or hog panal and let the vines run out into the sunshine - I think I'll try that next year just to experiment. I LOVE sweet potatoes.
Mine had full sun all summer but we had the terrible heat and fought. I did not get anything from my sweet potatoes.
@@jlynnc9559 I really should have worded my comment differently and thank you for your comment. My sweet potatoes were absent this year due to deer eating everything! So many ways that our harvests are not good but I'm blessed to have had other things in abundance. Have a great day!
For many years, I heard that the sweet potatoes are ready to dig up whe their leafy vines start dying off, turning light green//yellow leaves. I think you had little potatoes bcuz they weren't mature yet. I might just leave them in the ground for a bit more
You’re right! I have a frost coming though and we were going away so it unfortunately had to be done prematurely! Maybe one year they will get there 🤍
I love these harvesting you share with us❤ yummy meals👍
You need a potato fork! We have clay soil, and the fork gets all of our root veggies loosened for easy harvesting.
I so do! I’m on the hunt for one 🤍
These recipes look amazing i love sweet potatoes so i definitely will try some of these.
Thank you for sharing
Everything looked delicious 😋!
I enjoy your channel so much. Your a great mama. Love Grant.
Thank you so much! 🤍🤍🤍
Could you do a video talking a bit more about home schooling. How it works, where you get the work or lesson plans, how it gets recorded as grades for leading up to future graduation. Nothing in-depth or anything like that but just a quick run down on how it works compared to going through the "normal" education program.
Sure! I’ll see how I can work that in a bit more in the future 🤍
No rush, I know you are just getting started in it yourself which is why I asked if you could. And thanks ❤
Wow, so many options for your sweet potatoes. Even though you didn't harvest too many, you sure made them go along way! Everything looks delish and I always enjoy visiting with you while I am knitting :)
Be careful putting fresh eggs right into a recipe. Could ruin all the other ingredients. My grandson is loud too! Love it.
That dinner looks amazing!!
Thanks! It was yummy 🤍
@seedamdsparrow have you considered making your own vanilla super easy?
You keep it so real!
I'm always sweeping up flour 😒!
I try to keep it relatable! I’m not sure how presenting a perfect picture could really help anyone! 🤍🤍🤍
Loved all the recipes!!! I've made sweet potato brownies. biscuits, and rolls, but not gnocchi, cookies, or pancakes. I love sweet potato so much so now I'm itching to branch out! Somewhere I've seen someone rice potatoes with a mesh strainer but I don't remember if it was a tight mesh strainer or one with bigger holes. Worth a try the next time you have to do it. On the harvest, I've had similar issues where the first time growing sweet potatoes they were abundant and subsequent years not so much. Was wondering if it was a weather thing, or just that the first time was in a brand new bed with fresh, fluffy soil. While your bed was not compacted by normal standards, the way you were struggling with the hori hori makes me think it probably was too compacted for the potatoes. That said, it was probably compacted by the heavy rains, so not much you could do about it without adding something like vermiculite, which is what I plan on doing next year for all my root crops because I had the same issues with carrots and regular potatoes. On the shovel as a poor choice for harvesting potatoes, may I respectfully suggest you use it differently. With the blade at that angle you couldn't avoid stabbing them. However, if you rotate the shovel so the blade faces you and angle the handle, you can work the blade down the edge of the bed and then lift the handle upright and away from you to pop the soil. Backwards? yes. Will it work without investing in another tool to store? absolutely.
My sweet potatoes did not produce this year. We had a drought.
A pitchfork would be useful for these sweet potatoes, but you use what you have it will still get the job done 😂. They say growing them in buckets or containers works pretty well and is easy to harvest.
I’ve had the worst time with containers growing anything, probably because I just don’t water 😂 perhaps it’s worth a shot!
Co-incidentally, I was watching a bunch of sweet potato harvesting videos today. The best were from a man in Indiana who harvested his 12' by 2' beds located by a semi-shady wall next to his small suburban house. His sweet potatoes were abundant and enormous I noticed his soil was quite deep and loamy. If you're interested the name of his channel is "City Lot Gardening". P.S., have you ever tried using an ice cream scoop to portion out muffin batter? Or a meat ball scoop to portion out cookies? Couple of my favorite kitchen hacks. All the food looked delicious. I'd love a couple of those biscuits for breakfast. Yum! ☺
Grounded Haven Homestead had a great sweet potato harvest and a fun video to share.
Did I miss the Sweet Potato Muffins recipe in the comments? I saw all of the others but not that one.
U are cool as cucumber Like your vedioes
LOL, thank you! 🤍
you need a potato fork.
LOL I do!
I was told sweet potatoes need less water not more. So it could have been the irrigation every night that caused the damage or the poor quality of the potatoes. Next time, try neglecting them a bit more. especially not watering daily. It may be that.
Ok! LOL kind of funny, but I will give neglecting them a go! 😂 thank you! 🤍
@seedandsparrowhomestead 😅😅😅 I hope it works out next time. A lil neglect builds character lol
Are you out of vanilla, yet? 😂
I'm surprised that you don't have a clothesline.
Girl!! You need you knives 🔪 resharpened. That was hard to watch you have to put so much pressure with your hands
I promise you they are sharp! I’ve always found sweet potatoes hard to chop 😂
