These chicken-fried potato logs hit a real nostalgic chord inside of me, I hope they can do the same for you my friends...HAPPY COOKING!!
Thank
I love your cooking stove, how can I get it
Shakeys mojos bro
Is all Maldon salt sea salt? Like does it all have to taste like ocean water/salt? Or is there a blend that is more like kosher salt?
I ask bc I wanna try to Maldon salt, but all I've seen online is sea salt, and I _hate_ sea salt (all I literally taste is ocean water), so at least it's true to its name lol but anyway, yeah, some non-sea salty Maldon salt would be great... I also am not a fan of smoked salt either. Just salt-flavored salt in large flaky flakes for me nah
Chicken fried? Where's the chicken?
@@epictetus8028 you can't be serious.... you know what chicken fried steak is
As a Mississippian, I know these as potato logs. They aren't extremely common and there are probably other dishes that we are more famous for, but these are really good. Before anyone gets on the "Ewe food from a gas station!" train, you don't know the amazing culinary destination that is a good Mississippi gas station. Not all of them are great, but the ones that are should probably have their own Michelin stars. Sure all of the food is cooked on a greasy flat top or in a vat of oil, but damn if it doesn't taste like something that was carried down from Jesus' own kitchen by winged baby angels. Don't come for the ambiance though, many of these places are old and unkempt, the floor is probably plain concrete, the restrooms are probably right out of a nightmare, they probably sell live fish bait and the smell might knock you over if you get too close to the cricket box. You come for the food, you don't stay to eat it.
I'm from California, I literally went to a small hidden taco joint that grills their meat out side and they are located in a family owned gas station. It's also just down the street from where I live in orange county. They were good not amazing but good.
Sounds so good 😶
Thank you for your comment and insight on Mississippi Gas stations, hopefully, one day I can visit one in person!
@@miodragpetrovic1447 To be fair, there is a lot of that here, but you also have to understand that much of our state is agrarian with a lot of blue collar jobs at least historically. So our culture revolved around lots of calories in to make up for all those burned during a hard day's work. Our food scene hasn't kept up with the times in that regard because that unhealthy stuff is just too tasty to give up.
Love the narrative that creates a great mind's eye picture. My philosophy, if it is dead I'll at least try it once, even if it is gas station fare.
Tater logs at Dodge's gas station in Olive Branch, Mississippi. That's were I know them from and yes, they are often made crunchy.
Mississippian here and can confirm some of our backroad gas stations got some AMAZING gems. There's a spiral cut fried potato on a stick that different places hit with different kinds of breading and seasoning.
When you're on lunch doing some back breaking work it hits the spot with a good ole root beer like my grandpa used to get. Theres even a half n half version with chunks of chicken and round slices of potatoes.
Chicken on a stick is the best country kabob. Tater,onion,pickle, chicken, and repeat with being cooked like fried chicken.
I would totally love to see a picture of this fine culinary item 😋😁
I was talking to someone. Next thing I knew- I was waking up in ambulance for no apparent reason. Two weeks later-although most symptoms were in left arm- I called ambulance. I told them calmly- I think I'm having a heart attack
Show nuff I was. Needed 5 stints. Surgeon told me had I had hip surgery. I would've flat lined. Half my heart was blocked. Weird eh?
JoJo's are my childhood. Growing up my Dad did construction and we did a LOT of travelling. Fried chicken and jojos with okra (if available) plus a fruit punch Gatorade was the go to. And you NEVER peel the tater. You leave the skin on!
Jojo's are super filling, too! I always liked mine with ranch, but I think spicy ranch would be amazing.
Or even chipotle sauce
In Ohio (Cle) we use BBQ sauce 😮😊
I try more of your recipes than anyone else’s because even though they are usually work, you make it seem fun. It’s great you are doing what you love. Best aspiration in the world. Keep doing you. ❤
Looks amazing! When you get to Minnesota you should do a juicy Lucy
Thanks for the kind words
As a Mississippian I was wondering what you would do..... and I must say when I seen the title I knew you nailed it. Very good choice of something you can find all across the state.
I’d say we’re more known for catfish but potato wedges are good too. I honestly didn’t even know people don’t make these in some other states. I thought these were a pretty common thing but pretty cool
I'm in Oregon and every supermarket with a hot deli has them. There's a Circle K gas station that has a chicken place inside called Krispy Krunchy, they have the best jo-jos, its better than KFC and Popeyes.
We just call them potato wedges here in SC.
Memphis Tennessean here, and we know them as potato logs, wedges or JoJos and you can find them at any Dodge gas station (originally) or simply at home, my grandma cooked them all the time as a part of breakfast. Dodge has been selling them for, at minimum, over half a century I know. They always bring fond childhood memories as we would walk all the way to Dodge to get some jojo's along with a piece of chicken and either jungle juice or sweet tea. I think I'm about to cook some now. 😊❤
Wish you had done a southern breakfast like biscuits and gravy and grits or a home style dinner with collards and pan gravy.. MS is better known for those!
This is how Mary Brown's Chicken here in Canada does their potato wedges, so I guess these have caught on over here, too. They're delicious.
The gulf of MS was so well known for shrimping that families from Vietnam and Croatia settled down along the coast. While the delta literally has some of the biggest catfish farms in the country. Being from the coast of the state, a chef, and big fan of your channel, I was really hoping for something more than a potato log....we can give that thing to Oregon for sure.....
Probably true. They are rather ubiquitous here in the Pacific northwest.
I'm from Oregon and JoJo's are a staple in every town, though we dip in ranch. We like our ranch so much that if one place has perfect JoJo's and another has perfect ranch, we'll split the trip a lot of the time. Thankfully in the town I live in the places all have good ranch. Also we don't do store bought ranch in bottles unless for a salad. store bought ranch like hidden valley is unacceptable.
Washington here. I order a cup of gravy from the biscuits and gravy and dip my fries in that. I almost pass out. Same for the chicken strips.
these are super common in Iowa too! here I usually see them called Broasted Potatoes, either a la carte at gas stations or alongside broasted chicken or fried fish at restaurants
I'm excited to see what you'll do for Michigan! Maybe our good ole Coney dogs, but that's really a dead horse at this point. Ooh! Pasties! Supremely Michigan!
Not in my opinion. Same goes for Chicago dogs.
Anyone who has ever spent much time on the road knows that sometimes gas station food is the best food! I've run across gas stations -- usually small, out of the way, hole in the wall, country gas stations in the middle of nowhere -- that have food that is better than anything you'll ever find in a restaurant!!! When I was on the road I would specifically look for those little country gas stations right off the interstate in the middle of nowhere, usually the only thing on the exit, just for the food, because it was usually fantastic.
Also, those look delicious. I love potato wedges.
Potato is one of the best ingredients in the world you can make anything with potatoes. Cooking with potatoes is cooking with love
We have these in my town in Montana as well. A local gas station/deli makes them and they are straight fire. These look even better than theirs, so I'm definitely going to need to give this recipe a try. I've never heard of comeback sauce but that too is gonna need to be something that gets made as well.
Absolutely the best show….thank you.
😋 Until today I never thought I'd get excited about JoJo's. This looks super yummy thank you continue being a goofball I love it! From one goofball to 😁🍴🍽️🍴!
me three!
Love this series
Always love these videos!!!
Thanks Spencer!
I tried your recipe and it is tha' bomb!!! Was able to make fried potato logs just like I remember back in my childhood. Thanks for posting!
I love this! Bringing back some fantastic memories from Puyallup, WA!!!! 😱😍👍
The pool noodle-assisted assault on the fridge was especially good today! These look great!
Those look.sooooo good😍
Love this theme. Keep cookin’ Sonny!
There is no stopping this train my friend!
@@thatdudecancook This is why your train is getting so many passengers! 🤟
Chester's Fried Chicken's potato wedges in Arkansas are fire! As this girl I know once said: "Now tthat's some tater" ☺☺☺
Just made these. Takes me back to my high school days! Thanks for this one!
Great video, and awesome 80's intro music!
I live down the road from a big service station that still sells potato logs, and they are tasty. Moving to Mississippi 21 years ago was a bit of a culture shock, but we are never going back to a big city.
You have blessed me with the thing I've been wanting to make for awhile now. I used to eat these in this place in Kentucky called Indi's, where it's all soul food, and I never quite knew how to make them. THANK YOU!!!💜😋🤩💥💯
Glad you called out the Oregon origin. I grew up outside of Portland in Washington and remember JoJo's from being a kid in the late 70's and 80's. So good!
They call them Jojos in NE Ohio too :)
I'm an Oregonian and we call them JoJo's. Just put my potatoes in the fridge for the night. We used to get them on our father daughter fishing trips because they could be eaten one handed. The best ones I've found are in the middle of nowhere which is why I'm making my own.
I love your channel. Thank you
Weird I didn't realize these were a Mississippi thing. In the Midwest JoJos are a staple at any good fried chicken joint.
Unfortunately you don't hit on the key technique: JoJos are deep fried in the same oil and often at the same time, as one is deep frying chicken. That's the "secret".
Looks absolutely delicious!!
AYO!
So cool ...thanks.
@@thatdudecancook good job.
As in Louisiana they're pronounced as potato logs but they're pretty common to find some gas stations they're all around the states of Louisiana and it's always good also they called They comeback sauce here boom boom sauce
Just started watching your videos and I watched your newer ones first and wasn't expecting you to have hair i was shock lol but those look soo good 😂❤
I'm from the Mississippi Gulf Coast and personally I think you should have done a Pressed Po'Boy with these potato wedges as a side. Po'Boy's are originally a NOLA thing but they are everywhere here in MS and we do our own thing with them.
I'm just a Po'Boy, nobody loves me, he's just a Po'Boy, from a Po family, sharing his wife with your monstrocity!
Interesting… I’m from Nola and didn’t even know this was a thing. Where’s the best place I can try one?
@@wafflehomie123 Domilise’s is probably the most famous.
@@xanselmoxDomilise’s is overrated. I was disappointed.
Missouri needs to be Springfield Style Cashew Chicken! It's a pretty big deal around Southwest MO. Feast Magazine did a great article on David Leong and how he created it.
No Missouri needs to be a pork tenderloin sandwich...you know where the meat is twice as big as the bun😊
@@justinjohnson242 I always thought that was more of an Iowa thing.
Wow… looks great!
The eggs peel the easiest if you start them in cold water. Let them come to a boil. Boil 8 to 10 min according to their size. Turn off the heat. And leave them be. Do not drain. Do not put in ice water. It takes longer, but let them cool naturally. One cooled completely rinse them in fresh cool water. Then Crack them completely. And return them to the fresh water. Then peel. It takes alot of waiting time but it's very easy to do.
Just made some potato wedges yesterday and then you upload this out of nowhere. I know what I'm doing next time, it's been ages since I've had a good potato wedge like this!
As a Oregonian I can say that I ate these as breakfast as a kid when my dad drove me to school 😂 yup they came from a gas station
We used to get them from Fryer Tucks in Portland
Had a local mom an pop shop that served these in Michigan. Dirt road, small corner, we rode our bikes for miles to eat them! Crispy, yet soft, giant steak flavor!
Love the old school jojos of yesteryear... there was a little store that sold them for 10 cents each... was so sad whhen they closed down and a few other places of my childhood... ole the good ole days... us Oregonians do love some real jojo's!!
We have these in Missouri and they sell like crazy. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for Missouri.
Here in South Alabama, you can find these tater logs in some gas stations. I was never a huge fan but my grandfather loves them.
Love the video !!!!
We had these roadtriping to Florida at a gas station. Orderd by accident from the chicken counter. My wife and I were very pleased
The jojos here in the northwest are made in the same pressure fryers that cook the chicken, it's a pretty different experience
Great video lad keep up with the work
I’m originally from Michigan, but every grocery store deli had these things alongside the fried and rotisserie chicken. I absolutely loved them as a kid.
Thank you for reminding me of one of the best parts of my childhood ❤
This is unlocking some core memories from back home.
Holly Farms chicken restaurants, back in the 70's, had the best potato wedges ever.
Jo-Jo's in Oregon were originally broasted along with chicken and served with ranch dressing.
Excited to see what you do for Iowa and Minnesota. You’ll probably do breaded pork tenderloin for Iowa but I hope you look into the loose meat sandwich as I would love to see a chefs take on such a basic item. Interested what you do for Minnesota as I spent the last 7 years there and walleye and steak tips are on every menu, but they’re famous for Tator Tot Hotdish (don’t call it a casserole…it’s a Minnesota thing).
Growing up in Utah there was a grocery store that sold these and they certainly are memory making. I still dream about them. One of the things I miss the most about Utah. Definitely gonna have to try this recipe
the addition of sriracha to your comeback sauce looked interesting. can't wait to try that
I’ll take some!!
Hold the onion powder!!
There's a Sunoco gas station where I live and their potato wedges are so gooood!! I go there once a week to feast on those delicious things.
The best potato logs from Mississippi have a seasoned thin skin breading with baked potato inside not thick crunchy outsides. You could also buy them at supermarket deli's. Now for what ever reason deli's seem to make wedges and not the big thick logs.
Idaho has these in delis and gas station fryers everywhere also ( we r close to Oregon but I would have assumed it was an Idaho thing
These are delicious
Definitely a mainstay in MS gas stations! This looks great!
Here in Eastern WA state, we know those as Jo-Jo's. The best one's I've ever had were at a gas station around here, too, and looked really similar. They're awesome.
i accidentally made these many years ago when i attempted to make potato wedges similar to kfc. ive always enjoyed them, good job to mississippi for making them a staple statewide.
another way i enjoy wedges to very similar to a southern fish fry style. south fish fries tend to use cornmeal as a breading, but this cornmeal breading also works very well with potato wedges. just mix some cajun season in with the cornmeal and bread the wedges with the seasoned cornmeal i guarantee you wont be disappointed.
The 70s style educational film theme music is pretty cool. A little taste of the past. Yes…yes it is a pun. Love all the videos.
My grandmother learned to make these this exact same way while working at a gas station diner in Alabama in 1932. She said in the depths of the depression, it wasn't uncommon that potatoes were the only thing on the menu that couldn't be made from flour or corn meal. My mom started making these at our house in 1970. So, if Oregon "invented" them, it would have to be prior to 1932. Coincidentally, my dad's mother learned to make these with a very similar recipe while working in a diner in central Mississippi sometime around 1934.
I love the series man, hopefully you keep going. I know people in every state has something to say, but your stuff is too amazing not to continue
In oregon yhese are the snack of choice for road trips and friday night drinking. Every gas station sells em as dies safeway kroger and ithers.
Love the videos. Give it to Oregon! We love our JoJos. Go Ducks
The noodle arm attack!!! 😂😂😂😂
Winner, winner, Chicken Fried Potato Wedge dinner.
What a great recipe 😊 thanks for sharing !!!
❤Annie
I’m from North Carolina and you always could find these at gas stations that sold chicken. Nobody sells these or makes these anymore. I could eat those everyday for the rest of my life.
They look easy and delish.... plus the swirling noodles took on the fridge 😂
There was a little food shop in the PX at Camp Hansen on Okinawa that served these back in the '80s. Those and the street yakisoba from outside the gate were the major components of my diet as a young Marine. And beer, of course. Ah, what I wouldn't give to have that metabolism again...
In the 70s Holly Farms like Polaroid development drop off free standing mini shops, made take out quick N easy as well as pumped out these deep fried beauties ... Yum yum
Ate these all the time when I lived in Arkansas. They are amazing and somehow my cholesterol levels are good! Got them at Chester’s Fried Chicken at the local “Kum and Go” gas stations.
Is that where the waitresses wear a blue dress?
I made your comeback sauce with Savora Mustard and Tapatio Hot sauce, and 1/2 regular 1/2 hot paprika….crazy good!
Hey Sonny, just wanted to let you know you cheer me up with these videos. My dog had just died today and I was just trying to find something to distract me. I love your videos no matter what they are. Also your recipies are delicious! Thanks.
so sorry about your dog my friend... I hope he or she is in doggy heaven with all of her friends now having the best time ever. best wishes and take all the time you need to grieve
@@thatdudecancook thank you.
We used to have a place down here in Wales that made half cut potatoes like this and they're so delicious I think new owners took over and they just arent great anymore
This dude can cook 🥺🤧 yooooo that’s what they are called my gas station has these bro not all hero’s wear capes I’m gonna make these 😍
North Carolinian here! These Tater Wedges are all over the south and sinful and delicious!
Great vid in Canada 🇨🇦 we call them mojo’s or wedges 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
The best part about this new segment is the music. The food looks pretty good too
This dude can surely cook 👍🏼
Lived in Mississippi for four years, never heard of these
Gas station food in Mississippi has no rival. Try Rose’s BBQ in Hattiesburg off Hwy 49!
Imagine being that dudes neighbor and see him noodle arm octopus slapping his fridge 😂😂😂😂😂
Enjoy your work, I am a former Executive Chef and you have the ability to make cooking enjoyable for all those watching your channel. You cook real food not the unobtainable dishes some channels cook. When you get to Idaho please don't just do a potato. Do Finger steaks. They scream Southern Idaho.
in the pacific northwest these are called jo jo's and have been around since the 70's. they are traditionally cooked in a pressure fryer using uncooked, unpeeled potatoes in gas stations and convenience stores that serve fried chicken, because potatoes are cheap and plentiful here so it became a very profitable side item. they got that name because a lot of local restaurants in the 50's and 60's would serve roast beef dinners that included jo jo's which at that time were just potato wedges that were roasted along with the beef. so when the fried wedges started showing up at gas stations, that name got stuck on the new version. they are not supposed to be crunchy, but they are supposed to be well-seasoned so make sure you prep the flour properly. you have to pre-cook the potato if you don't have a pressure fryer, otherwise they will never completely cook before they burn....
Upper Midwest here and we call them jojos. They're a gas station and grocery store staple around here. So tasty
I LIVED IN OREGON FOR A YEAR, EVERY BAR HAD THESE. NO THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CRUNCHY. THANKS FOR SHARING THE WAY TO MAKE THEM. I HAVE TRIED MANY TIMES, BUT FAILED. I AM MAKING THEM RIGHT NOW!
I think I know where you remember these. I'm not sure what state you lived in in your childhood but I don't think it matters. In California lots of grocery store delis opt for big ol potato wedges instead of fries and they aren't battered but are probably at least covered with oil before baking. I would get that with fried chicken/tenders as a kid. I actually thought about that immediately when I saw them, nostalgia for sure.
Our secret ingredient down here in Mississippi is the Rooster Spur pepper.
Offers INSTANT relief from our heat and humidity 👍
50 states, 50 plates, I like this series!
