Neither Herr’s nor King’s Family Farms had any input in the making of this episode, nor did any money change hands.
Even as a retired organic farmer, this series is way fun and informative. It would be really great for kids who didn't grow up on a farm!!
Thank you for such kind words! It is especially meaningful coming from a farmer!
Yes, a great series for middle school kids (or old kids like me).
Dick Tracy I’m in middle school
@@jsker1936 ya same it kinda sucks but potato chips don't and thats why I am here!
It is ❤️🌟
This channel is so underrated!
Aw, thanks!
Ruth Evelyn agreed
Wow
u
Agree!!
Tip for making mashed potatoes. At around 4:29 the video notes how boiled potatoes lose a lot of their nutrients. One option to lessen the effects of this is to use the water you boiled them in as the water needed when mixing the other ingredients. You will gain back some of the nutrients lost, and you will gain back some of the dissolved potatoes in the "potato water". This is especially ideal if you are combining fresh potatoes with an instant potato mix.
Why would you combine those two? It’s like putting a McDonald’s burger on a platter with fresh grass fed beef burgers. They don’t mix
@@lizi.2503 The same reason you would add seasoning to a jar of Prego spaghetti sauce. It's a quick and convenient base to use so that you don't have to make everything from scratch, cause fresh potatoes takes a lot of prep time/work when feeding a large group.
I love your enthusiasm for growing vegetables and your presentation skills are outstanding!!!
Awesome video! Please keep up the great work!
+Think Fact Thank you!!

Keep learning...😁😁😁😁😁
@@TrueFoodTV damn you have two big potatoes.
Because we all need to eat in different rispes
Such high quality videos. I like it! Keep going :)
+Timon Borg Will do! ;)
+How Does it Grow? high quality video and very good presentation
I took a tour of the Herr factory when I was a kid, and wrote a little kid hand written note to the older Mr. Herr, and he wrote a handwritten note back! The Herr family is so kind and their business is so important to Southeastern PA.
I have to admit I'm addicted to your videos, but not only because they remind me of home. They're informative and make a sometimes boring topic really interesting. Thanks for making the videos!
Again, great video. I just planted mine in a pot! CAN NOT WAIT!!!
Did it grow?
glad to see this pop back up!
I like this video! Make more of this please because this kind of video is educational.It's good for students and should be showed on schools! Keep up the good work
I like potatoes boiled and topped with butter and garlic salt. Red skin, golden, and blue varieties are all good! But I’ll have to try the bake and smashed version sometime, sounds good too.
This is amazing! I hope this catches on! More people need to watch this
In 24 hours hurrs PRODUCES ONE MILLION BAGS OF AIR...AND SELL THAT AS A FRIED CHEEPS..
Alazar Assefa it's not air, its nitrogen that preserves the chips. Without it, you'd have rotten chips. Be grateful
Donna here.
Oh my I was curious about how cranberries were washed so I ran into ur channel and now I am hooked. I've been watching video after video for awhile now. Luv it. God Bless You
+Richard Rios So glad you found us! And so glad you're enjoying! God bless you too.
it been too long thought you give up on this channel nice to see your lovely face again
+canonyos Thank you!
I thought the same. Hope to see you more often! Great videos!
xu3xu v
great stuff! love the facts and the recipe - nice addition
love your videos short and sweet and full of information. loking forward to the next new video
+Scott Doering Thank you for the lovely comment! A new one's coming soon!
"Happy smashing"? I think your smile (and the education you give us) is SMASHING! (And I'm not even flirting!) Another great episode. :D
You're so sweet
Man! I LOVE this channel. I was trying to find an explanation on seedless grapes and it brought me here. I've been binge watching for over 30 minutes. Thanks for a informative and fun look into foods and where they come from. Great smile too!
So glad you found our channel! Hope you come back for more :)
Love that you took it from fried potatoes at the beginning video to a much healthier alternative preparation by the end!
Love these videos! Here is some thing I bet you did not know. If you cut potatoes in to thin slices and put them in a dehydrator for 24 hours. As long as you keep them in a sealed jar they will last for ever. Just the other week I re hydrated a jar full that was made for a Camping trip in the Boreal forest back in 1993. It was just like super fresh raw potato. We boiled them and made mashed potato and cheese and tasted amazing.
WHOA. I definitely did not know that!
Will any type of sealed jar work?
1/50,000th of an inch sounds awful thin. I'd be willing to bet they're more along the lines 50 thousandths of an inch.
1/50,000th is 0.00002"
A sheet of paper is 0.00300"
Great video.................Thanks
+odustbrown You're right! We have to correct this. We only recently realized (thanks to another comment) that our editor got the fraction wrong: it should be 50/1000. It will be amended soon! Thanks for giving us the heads-up.
odustbrown you know what else is 1/50000th of an inch thick
You already said 20 slices per inch. That is the same as 50 thousandths. 20*50 = 1000. A thousand thousandths of an inch is just one inch.
Yeah, that math had me scratching my head. If it was 1/50000ths of an inch, wouldn't we be getting 50000 chips/in.?
I have a couple vertical potato boxes & the yield is always fantastic. Great video, always very informative.. keep them coming please.
watching your videos gives me chill and also lot of knowlegde at the same time. keep up with the great work!
So nice to see you back again, looking amazing as always!
+sgv6618 Aw, thank you!
I absolutely adore this series! Time to binge watch!
+AvatarCo1 Thank you!!
Found me a new channel that has intrigued my soul for nature.
Not many people know about the green potato poisons and I am glad you mentioned it in this video. For people with liver or kidney disease green potatoes and overwork their already stressed system and it is very important for these people to know of any form of metabolized poisons they are ingesting.
Very informative as usual thanks a lot
I grew potatoes for the first time last summer, only a doz plants, new and russet. I wonder what those little green “berries” were on the plant at the end of the season. I should’ve saved a few, to try and see what they would’ve produced! Love you videos!
adorable materials! thank u so much :D
Yay a new video!!! I've been waiting so long!! Amazing!!
Love this channel! It's perfect!
Thank you so much, Glenn!
Such a simple yet amazingly well done channel, my mother always does that potato recipe and it's really good.
I like your mama! ;) Thanks for the kind words, and for watching!
I cook my potatoes the same exact way. Smashed potatoes are the best drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt, pepper, garlic & rosemary or thyme. My mom has been cooking them that way for us for years, but both of us never knew they kept that much of their nutrients. Guess we been doing good all this long. That's great!!!
You and your mom lead where we follow! ;) That's fantastic.
its great to have you back!
Beautifully produced and very informative video! Thanks!
Thank YOU!
the recipe is amazing! tastes like a potato cake. love your videos!
Potatoes are so awesome and such a hardy crop.
I let a store bought spud sprout once.
I cut it in half and planted it into a medium pot and, in a month, I couldn't believe I had an actual potato crop growing!
That is, until my dog (bless his pure little heart), decided fetch would be a lot more fun with the new green thing on the picnic table.
Nbd though, I got another going last week. I can't believe how easy it is (speaking from a pleb standpoint who is only growing one plant) are to grow.
I pretty much stopped boiling potatoes except for when I make mashed. I steam them now, and they seem so much more sweet. I'd recommend trying it. I steam nearly all my veggies now.
I know how all these grow just love these episodes
Thank you so much!
No problem you make amazing content :)
0:27 Yep... How does it grow that big.
Lol , Hybrids , not good for health
pregnancy!
thicc potato
I have been using these How does it grow for several of my PE classes while teaching my plate! Love it!
That's awesome! So glad you're enjoying!
so glad to see you're back! we love these videos!
+Green Blender Thank you so much! Yes, we are BACK -- with more episodes to come!
yaay! you're back...The Lord is good! now I know..chips come from potatoes and not out of a bag! I'm a Big Fan of yours. Love how you & your team put everything together esp the humor in your presentations :). I usually have a hard time convincing guys why they should make the jump from conventional to organic. Your videos make it a wee bit easier though.nwe, God bless...keep em coming!!
+Peter Ojee Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this note, Peter! We will definitely keep 'em coming! ;)

+Stacy Angel Love you too! xoxo
I love this series, very informative!
I love this channel. I'm fascinated with agriculture.
Sweeet! Another video I can use to teach English to my classes :)
So wonderful going back in time on my favorite food channel. So much and yet so little has changed in two years.
I love your series "How does it grow". Learn new things every day.
+Snow Le Thank you!
I love ur videos. U r still giving hope to city people love farm and farmers . And keep reminding this things make us happy.
Love this woman! Bursting with energy and intelligence!
Thank you! :)
It can also be grown in tropical?
Yes it can
The native farmers in Chile used to plant 150 different types of potato every year.
Depending on the harsh weather the harvest would always provide food.
Many varieties means food security if there are problems.
Yes! Thanks for sharing this great information, Myles.
I really enjoyed the how to cook these the best way portion of this video. Great add on. Nice to know!
4:48 that face is like why did i do that it hurt
Yes!! You saw that! ;)
sammy boy It's like when I drum on the pews at church with my hands. It hurts with a dull pain afterward, but it's just so fun in the moment 😅

Hello True Food TV. I have just watched 2 of your videos and now I've got to watch the lot! I garden at home in the UK and always advise that we should try to emulate the farmer who is the true professional when it comes to growing vegetables. Your videos have the lot. They are high quality, professionally presented and with a farmer telling us how it's done. Great job! Home Grown Veg.
Thank you so much for these kind words. I'm thrilled you're enjoying the series. As a fellow home gardener, I too learn so much talking to the farmers we film with. I feel quite lucky to have access to them! Best of luck in the upcoming growing season, and hope to hear from you again!
ITS BACK AHHHH IM SO EXCITED!!!! :DDDDD
Can you do this on blueberries or strawberries.
+apocolyx They're on the list!
I love your vids, very straight forward and educational but enough is enough! You are bloody gorgeous!.......now back to the spuds...I mean potatoes!
Aw, thanks for watching!
Luv watching all your vids! Amazing! Thanks!
Also such qualitt videos. Gotta love it.
How does it grow? Inside my pantry, crammed into a corner, and forgotten about.
+Lauren Simonelli Yeah, that happens.
At 3:48 I laughed.
I doubt i'm the only one that opens a bag of potato chips to find one every 10 chips has a dark spot or is brown
Rebecca Reiger ii
Welcome back! I really love your videos and have been waiting for your return a long time. Keep up the good work please :) :).
+Phong Phan Thanh Thank you!
Very informative as usaul thanks a lot
The presenter is so gorgious and articulate she has a verbal cheque that will cash.
I thought potatoes were fruits. No wait, that's tomatoes. Now I know they're tubers.
+jim gialamas Just don't try to play one, Jim. That's a tuba!
You're back! Great. Hope everything is great. Including the little one. And keep up the great work I know these must take a lot to get done. And great recipe. I will give it a try
+Stephanie O Thank you so much! Yes, you've got that right -- it's been tricky juggling the little one (who's doing great - thanks for asking!) and this series. But I'm happy to say, we're back on track, with more episodes coming down the pike!
I really Love your videos. It’s very fun and informative!....Thanks for sharing!
Seeing those smashed potatoes has made me very hungry haha They look super tasty!! I have got to make some over the weekend!
Save the bumblebees!
I'm starting to fall in love, damn!
Excellent video. I am going to try that ASAP!
Will have to try the smashing bit! Ty!!
Can't take my eyes off on your two huge gorgeous potatoes 00:27
I'm a simple man. Just kidding, this is informative!
Amazing to know how they grow potato. We eat them but never bothered to know about it. Thanks for sharing this video. :)
I just love the information given from each and every video. Oh and ofcourse i love the host.
you are beautiful!
Aw, thank you!
That's awfully nice of you to reply so kindly to them. So many people get offended by compliments on the Internet. I take all I can get lol!
Tyler513 dude she is just beautiful~ simple" and i want grow some potatoes"
@@oneaburns haha
No - "50 thousandths" is not 1/50,000; it's 50/1,000
Your fraction is something on the order of 200 times thinner than a human hair
I've not seen many potato chips where you could stack 200 of them to get the thickness of one hair
Skipped math in hi school, or chatted with your friends about how stupid the teacher was instead of paying attention, did we?
+loganv0410 I actually went through to Advanced Placement Calculus in high school, thank you. :) But I'd be the first person to admit that math is not my strongest subject! Truth be told, I didn't write that figure on the screen -- that's the work of our editors -- but I didn't catch it either, so I am to blame! You are absolutely correct and the first person to point that out! Thank you! We'll be sure to amend it! :)
Another awesome post... Love the topic, info, quality, recipes.,... I could go on. Thank you for the great videos.
Thank YOU for watching!
Now i know...the one's we've tried planting are the sweet potatoes....btw...i love your kitchen and these chips too! Who doesn't?
I wish that was my kitchen (it's my parents'!). But you're right -- who doesn't love chips?! ;)
TRUE FOOD - How Does it Grow? A very nice kitchen definitely is a nice venue for your upcoming trufood videos. The fields are always a natural setup that pleases anyones view...By then having your dream kitchen you could extend the content of trufood vids....i know you are happiest sharing what you harvested from the fields and cooking them in a nice kitchen...wish i could create you oneO:)
Love it! Thanks, Nicole
Well done and welcome back! :)
Oh man I need to try that recipe. My mouth is watering like crazy and I even just ate. 🤤
thank you for making these videos my son is getting educated so well
+Amy Cockerille Music to our ears! Thank you both for watching!
