Their menu is a fusion of traditional and innovative, catering to every palate, whether you're a meat lover or looking for something vegetarian. 🧀🍗

Was this Recipe for "Different" Potato Cakes a Disaster?

in ,

In this video, I attempt to make an unusual recipe for potato cakes, which I found in a 1920 cookbook. The recipe includes mashed potato mixed with a beaten egg, milk, and seasoning, which is formed into something somewhat resembling (American foot?)balls with a bit of flour. I then wrap a thin strip of bacon around each ball, securing it with a wooden toothpick. After placing the bacon-wrapped potato balls in a hot oven, I wait for the bacon to become crispy and brown. Finally, I'll have a taste test. The recipe is unconventional but let's see what happens!

Recipe for "Different" Potato Cakes: "2 cupfuls cold mashed potato, 2 tablespoonfuls milk, 1 egg, bacon Add to the potato the egg, well beaten, milk, salt, and pepper to taste if the potato has not already been seasoned. Mix well and form, using a little flour, into eight or ten neat balls. Pin around each a thin strip of bacon, using a wooden toothpick to hold it in place. Set in a hot oven, or under broiler blaze if gas is used, till bacon is brown and crispy. Serve at once."

Stop saying sweet potatoes are more nutritious than white potatoes!

I get tired of seeing the Paleo community go

white and sweet potatoes.jpg
“Oh sweet potatoes brah like they are way better than white potatoes, like grok man he only ate sweet potatoes and white potatoes are just the devil! Like uh I saw that they have more of them nutrient things and are healthier for you and just better, sweet potato with butter, sweet potato with cinnamon, sweet potato sweet potato sweet potato!”

I do not care for the taste of sweet potatoes at all, nor do I care for people making claims that have zero basis in reality. Yes, white potatoes are nightshades and a small portion of the population has negative reactions to nightshades... I suspect somewhere, somewhen an individual that had a legitimate nightshade issue found that when they switched to sweet potatoes from white potatoes they had some of their health issues vanish and then someone else saw it and was like "oh man sweet potatoes!" and then another and another and another... and this white potatoes developed a stigma.

The Paleo community is starting to come around to white potatoes with more and more people being adventurous and returning to them, finding they don't have issue with them as they suspected. Still, at least once a week I see someone on a forum or Reddit or a blog demonize white potatoes with comments like "sweet potatoes are more nutritious!" well... why don't we actually take a look at the numbers, because... you know... SCIENCE.

Wait, what? I thought sweet potatoes were so much more nutritious than white potatoes?!?! You're telling me the only thing sweet potatoes has over white potatoes is considerably more vitamin A but white potatoes have more of several other minerals/nutrients/vitamins. Fancy that. Now stop saying sweet potatoes are more nutritious.
