Potatoes are a vegetable i grow during winter inside my home. In buckets, of course, along with chives on my window sills. Growing useful plants during cold winter months gives so much joy!
Just made this with my SO- we added what we had on hand (some garlic and onion powder to the filling) and it turned out quite tasty! Had a lot of potatoes we needed to use and this did the trick ! Thank you for making videos on recipes like this- we love cooking together and watching your videos!! You’re the greatest!!💕
I think back then the tin would have been greased with lard. That would probably crisped it up a bit and made it easier to get out. I find that oil can be a bit "grippy" when baking. Just a thought. 👍🏻
I think Lard would be best here, with the flavor of the beets would give it more of a bacony-meaty flavor from the crisped edges. However, if they used a bit of the lard in the mashed portion, that would give it through flavor too. Though I wonder if Tallow would work as well, but I feel like flavor wouldn't be the same. I also wonder if going the Colcannon route for additional flavor due to cabbage and salt pork/bacon go together, and would think being the time frame for this pie?
Struggle meals are unironically my favorite meals, mine is daal (Indian spiced lentils) and rice. So simple, so easy to modify (sometimes I make it soup like, sometimes thick and almost liked mashed potato consistency), so cheap!
Tips for using the ricer...rice the potatoes when they are hot, or at least warm. If cold, cut your potatoes smaller. My mother always used a ricer. When I was older, I always loved making the mashed potatoes. Adding the hot potatoes with a chunk of butter, then smashing them through. Adding just enough milk to make them smooth, then the salt and pepper. I miss those days.
I love when you do these Hard times videos. reminds me of the stuff my granny used to tell me about her childhood. they had it rough. rural west virginians in a time when everyone was hurting.
My Godfather, who sadly passed away a year and a half ago, was a Guernsey national and was a child when the Germans invaded and occupied the island. I remember him telling me stories of how soldiers came onto the island and basically stole food from the islanders out of their gardens leaving them with little to nothing. Food became a real issue during the occupation years as even what they grew for themselves would get often taken off them. Guernsey is a beautiful little island but still to this day retains a lot of the signs of occupation as there are gun turret emplacements dotted along the coast - very interesting history but you certainly learn more from someone who actually lived it.
Funny you mention latkes. I havent had a lot of latkes, but its part of my culture. You have a great channel. Ive seen a good amount of your videos since approx 2018. I guess a struggle meal can be matzoh brie. I also make a quesedilla with scrambled eggs, spinach, cheese, and sausage crumbles that i microwave or pan fry to melt cheese. I sometimes put peas. I make scrambled eggs with penzys maharaja curry mixed in. Plain pasta of any type with grated romano cheese.
Gosh I love these videos! I wish you understood Swedish because there’s this awesome Swedish tv show (from several years ago but it is uploaded to youtube) called Historieätarna, which translates to the history eaters. They eat for a different time periods for a week and also wear clothes like back then and do the hygiene that they did in that time. They basically live in different time periods. So each week is a new time period and they have a chef that makes food. Each day is also from different roles in society. Like royalty, farmers, the poor… It’s VERY interesting and the hosts (a woman and a man) are so awesome. I think you’d really like it! But I don’t think it has English subtitles.
@ It’s a documentary but several episodes! And not super duper serious always, like they can say their opinions and giggle at each others clothes when they just get dressed but it’s also serious and they really want to know what it was like back then. They also meet people that are really educated within that time period, like experts, that tell them more about what it was like. Absolutely not like a reality show. It is a documentary series and very educational but it’s not all like stone face, the hosts are super likable and lively and very curious and it’s just so awesome! They’re those type of people that make it fun to learn. You know those great teachers that made it fun to learn a subject. That’s them.
@@MoaMorgenstern That sounds like the perfect balance between serious and fun, very nice! Other countries could have that show too, so all of us could enjoy it and learn something in the process. And maybe even help us appreciate what we have compared to hard times of the past.
@ Absolutely! At one time period when they live as poor they make a “soup” from water, grass, a type of beet and a leather belt. That was all they had. The guy gets emotional because he imagines what it would feel like if that was all he had to feed his kids. Gosh I wish there was English subtitles for that show. I think lots of people would appreciate it, it’s a great show and I’ll watch an episode now.
French Nova Scotians (known as Acadian's) make something called Rapure or Rappie Pie. It's a grated potato dish that has meat stock (usually chicken) gradually added to it to make a saucy consistency, layered with pulled chicken (or whatever meat used to make the stock). It's delicious and not often heard of in other areas of the world!
Since you have an egg yolk and nothing should go unused to waste, which I’m pretty sure you didn’t waste it, you could’ve added it to your potato filling
I am from Guernsey, it took me by surprise to see this video come up it’s not often little old Guernsey gets mentioned! I’ve only just started watching, but looking forward to seeing the outcome! I have tasted a potato peel pie made the traditional way as part of a war time themed spread on liberation day.
I love your videos, I always get such a cozy feeling like drinking a warm cup of tea or sitting on the couch under a blanket while it‘s raining outside, when I‘m watching. I am also so impressed by your self grown potatos and onions or the eggs from your hens. I would be very interested in a garden/farm video, if you are comfortable showing that. Love from Austria!
Emmy! I never knew this was a “hard times” recipe! I’ve made potato peel hash browns with bacon fat for ages, as did mu grandmother. For each medium russet potato, I add 1 Tbl grated onion and a half teaspoon minced garlic, salt and,pepper. Brown in bacon fat in a cast iron skillet. These are like latkes, sort of, minus the bacon fat, lol. I’m going to try this recipe! It’s going to probably end up in my ‘first grab” recipes, like your Carlota de Limón. I make that one with evaporated milk, and monkfruit sweetener, lime zest and key lime juice. First recipe to disappear off the buffet! Love your channel!
If you make it again try using a pie plate/dish instead. Easier to remove a piece and may crisp the crust better. Thanks for all your videos so fun to watch.
In this style of pie, the meaty layer on the bottom is the filling, the mashed potato on the top is the top crust, and there is no bottom crust. The potato skin mixture is not trying to be similar to a pastry crust, it's trying to be similar to the minced beef or minced lamb in a shepherd's or cottage pie. You generally cook this style of pie in a casserole dish and serve it with a spoon.
A few years ago when money was a rare commodity for me I made a carrot cake except I did not have any carrots and my next trip to the store was a couple weeks away. I used potatoes instead of carrots. It came out pretty good but not as good as my next carrot cake that I forgot to put the oil in.I also did not use baking powder because that tin was empty but used my sourdough starter witch made the rise quite energenic.
I belong to a movie club and we watched the movie. I made roast pork and potato peel pie in honor of the movie. I used a more modern version using sour cream in my mashed potatoes. But peel was crisped up well and made a good crust. My group was impressed and pie was enjoyed
I'm super sick with some stomach issues right now and an Emmy video always makes me feel better. Even though I don't even want to think about food at the moment.
I think adding an egg or two would have made it more cuttable. It was a great project and you did it very well, especially the crust was impressive. I may attempt to make potato pie too for the fun of it.
I know it's not economical but I'm thinking adding in some finely crumbled crispy bacon into the crust 🤔 leaving out the cream and adding a little cheese! Wonderful holiday side dish 😋!
Hiya Debbie, may I suggest a nice summer beet salad? It's served cold, and it's actually quite delicious. You can roast or boil about 3 medium sized beets and leave them to cool. Meanwhile, finely chop about a tablespoon, each of bell pepper, onion, and parsley and put into a bowl. To that, add about 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and a dash of pepper, white or black. Mix everything together and add to your beets and give a good toss to get it all incorporated. Place in the fridge for about an hour, and you can have it alongside any dish you'd like. It tastes better chilled. I hope you try it 😊
I grew up eating baked beets; served with butter, sour cream, and salt. So delicious! I still make beets this way. And @purplereign5889, I agree with you on the nice summer beet salad; except I leave out the sugar and use a Chili-Lime Seasoning Salt.
Love potatoes 🥔 Try using a hand mixer to blend the salted boiled potatoes, butter, a little milk, salt and pepper. Don’t let the potatoes cool before mixing them, they will get gummy. These are the best mashed potatoes ever. My mom used to hide butter slices in the mashed potatoes. It was fun scooping them out and hitting a pocket of butter.
hi ms emmy , if u forget to line ur pan with baking paper, u can throw ur cooked crust in the freezer, it might help unmold it off the pan a bit as it contracts with the cold, twist the pan just a little bit to see if it pops right out the pan, u can then layer your pan with baking paper, put back the crust and cook the pie filling as per usual , i have not tried it on savory pie crusts though so i would love to know if also works on other pie crusts.😊
i was just thinking about the “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society” movie/book the other day and trying to figure out if potato peel pie was real! you read my mind!
Interesting recipe! Those Fat Daddio pans make things stick imho. Maybe a cast iron pan would have crisped the crust better IDK. Going to try this! Thank you.
My potato peel pie was thinly pealed potato skin layed in a pie pan from the center out with seasoning baked til crispy, no beets or onions. Than mashed taters for the filling.
@EmmyMade, "No protein?" Well... not a lot, but a 5.3 oz spud, skin on, so "medium," has 3g, which is the most of any regularly used vegetable, while a large egg has 6.3g, so it's really not bad. That's why the Irish were so up on them in hard times.
I’m curious: if you had made it in an actual pie pan (“potato peel pie”), would it have been easier to serve? Perhaps the mashed potatoes would be a little less soft using less cream? Looks like something fun to try again and again with so many variations others here have suggested. Good vid, Emmy, thanks! And I recommend the book and the movie, despite the movie switching things up as moviemakers are wont to do.
If you haven't already, you should definitely try 'Brændende kærlighed' (Burning love), an old-timey Danish dish of very smooth (whipped?) mashed potatoes topped with crispy bacon bits and caramelised onions. There are sometimes other toppings, too. We have it four or five times a year, definitely. It's most often served with pickled beets or some other kind of homemade pickle. PS If I remember correctly from the film, the dish was made up, though I can't remember why, irritatingly enough.
I like some lumps in my mashed potatoes 🤣 And I always use an electric hand mixer. Tooo much work with a masher. And no salt. Especially if you put butter in it like I do. Milk and butter. Perfection. I do it the way my mom has always done it.
Grating potatoes with the peels on makes it turn brown a lot faster. There must be some kind of enzyme in the skin that accelerates oxidation. I think the onion helps prevent this, but I'd mix those two as quickly as possible because the potato doesn't taste good when it turns brown.
I've been so jealous of you having fresh eggs from your chickens, but I recently found out that my coworkers mom has hens, and he's bringing me a bunch of eggs. I'm so excited. What's the best way to store them? And clean them?😊
Best to be safe and store them in the refrigerator. Clean them? When they actually have chicken droppings on them, I wash them real quick with soap and water right before using them. Don't forget to return the egg cartons to the guy who's mother has chickens.
Aww...I completely understand. I longed for a backyard flock for many years and even kept books about chickens moving from apartment to apartment. We keep our eggs in the fridge, but if they haven't been chilled yet you can keep them at room temperature. I don't wash our unless they're poopy.😆
@emmymade Thank you. I'm in a tiny apartment and hope some day to have a house where I can have my own chickens and a garden. You're living the dream.😊
Don’t wash them if possible! They will last longer if you don’t remove the protective layer on the shell. I am from Europe and eggs are never washed here (with water) for that reason. It’s not allowed to sell washed eggs. They are also not refrigerated at the supermarket but you are supposed to refrigerate them at home for longevity. Edit: I have eaten several months old eggs before without any issue. They are usually good waaay longer than the package says
My Grandpa, and old Army Cook, made something like this. Except he used a well seasoned cast iron pan smeared with a bit of softened Lard. The potato peels had minced bacon and no beet. 'Mashed' potatoes work fine, Grandpa didn't have no ricer but he still made them smooth as ice cream, and he put the egg yolk into the mashed potatoes along with some cheese, and used a fork to 'plow some ferrows like ya do onna field' and dotted it with bits of frozen butter and a different grated cheese. It would start in the oven and end up under the broiler to give it a serious browned crust. It was awesome! It held up like a pie slice and he would make a meat gravy and spoon over the slices, like a chunky meat gravy and when he made his chili? Pouring that over the Potato Pie just kept everyone quite until the Lemon Pie came out.
Hi Emmy !!❤ do you have names for your chickens or just miss hen? I wish you'd do a tour of your chickens area..I learn from you and wish someday to have chickens of mine...
I totally thought the egg yolk would have gone in the mashed potatoes. I wonder if they would have saved the yolk for some other recipe later? I mean that's a source of lots of nutrients
I'm curious as to what effect adding that one egg yolk to the mashed potatoes might have done for the dish - seems to me it would add a tiny bit more fat and give it a good mouth feel.
I’m surprised that the recipe didn’t call for egg yolk to be blended in with the potatoes so that it would be richer, added yellow color, more formidable in the pie and somewhat of a simple custard rather than just letting the yolk go to waste or using it in something else.

Canned tuna on toast. The cheap kind of tuna. With a little butter on the toast.
I saw someone once making dandelion salad...looked very interesting.
@@emmymade not a favorite- but depression sausage is very unique- it’s made with black eyed peas
Not getting burned out on standard butchered venison in the MT winters.
Beans. Hearty beans with lots of onions and garlic, so much that is an immunity-booster. Meat is totally optional.

Pickled beets are the best! I have them on hot dogs sometimes with fried onions, Dijon mustard, and cream cheese

You might not have butter, but you do have an egg yolk! You could totally add the yolk to the filling for more richness and flavor
Or mayo... It's mostly oil!
That's what I thought as well. In hard times, you wouldn't want to waste anything and like you said that yolk would add extra richness!
Ditto!
Since you have an egg yolk and nothing should go unused to waste, which I’m pretty sure you didn’t waste it, you could’ve added it to your potato filling

Oldskool would've used a cast iron skillet, covered in oil. This would've crisped your crust.
sour cream would be good as a substitute for the cream. sour cream and chives on a baked potato influence.
Even in hard times, if there's one thing that Guernsey would have had, it was dairy product.
Exactly what I was going to comment, too!😊
Except the Nazi were confiscating the food

hi ms emmy , if u forget to line ur pan with baking paper, u can throw ur cooked crust in the freezer, it might help unmold it off the pan a bit as it contracts with the cold, twist the pan just a little bit to see if it pops right out the pan, u can then layer your pan with baking paper, put back the crust and cook the pie filling as per usual , i have not tried it on savory pie crusts though so i would love to know if also works on other pie crusts.😊
The book was a nice read. I've read it twice. Now I'm thinking about reading it again.
Looks like something good for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Great with gravy
i was just thinking about the “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society” movie/book the other day and trying to figure out if potato peel pie was real! you read my mind!
Butter, cheese and eggs were severely rationed, so unless you had chickens you'd be lucky to have one egg a week.

I want to try a layered one with different colored potatoes.
When making mashed potatoes, we add some butter or margarine.
PLEASE do the TikTok "onion boil" next!! Cheers from Canada.
I loved the book and the movie!
I've been so jealous of you having fresh eggs from your chickens, but I recently found out that my coworkers mom has hens, and he's bringing me a bunch of eggs. I'm so excited.
What's the best way to store them? And clean them?😊
Best to be safe and store them in the refrigerator. Clean them? When they actually have chicken droppings on them, I wash them real quick with soap and water right before using them. Don't forget to return the egg cartons to the guy who's mother has chickens.
@CricketsBay Thank you!
Aww...I completely understand. I longed for a backyard flock for many years and even kept books about chickens moving from apartment to apartment. We keep our eggs in the fridge, but if they haven't been chilled yet you can keep them at room temperature. I don't wash our unless they're poopy.😆
@emmymade Thank you. I'm in a tiny apartment and hope some day to have a house where I can have my own chickens and a garden. You're living the dream.😊
Don’t wash them if possible! They will last longer if you don’t remove the protective layer on the shell.
I am from Europe and eggs are never washed here (with water) for that reason. It’s not allowed to sell washed eggs. They are also not refrigerated at the supermarket but you are supposed to refrigerate them at home for longevity.
Edit: I have eaten several months old eggs before without any issue. They are usually good waaay longer than the package says
This was such a good book❤
Oh, good.🥔 All the more reason for me to read it.
So so good!
I love the book and the movie! (It’s on Netflix.) I hope you love the book, too!
My Grandpa, and old Army Cook, made something like this. Except he used a well seasoned cast iron pan smeared with a bit of softened Lard. The potato peels had minced bacon and no beet. 'Mashed' potatoes work fine, Grandpa didn't have no ricer but he still made them smooth as ice cream, and he put the egg yolk into the mashed potatoes along with some cheese, and used a fork to 'plow some ferrows like ya do onna field' and dotted it with bits of frozen butter and a different grated cheese. It would start in the oven and end up under the broiler to give it a serious browned crust. It was awesome! It held up like a pie slice and he would make a meat gravy and spoon over the slices, like a chunky meat gravy and when he made his chili? Pouring that over the Potato Pie just kept everyone quite until the Lemon Pie came out.
Just ordered two copies of the book for Christmas gifts 😊
Yay! Books make wonderful gifts.📚
I loved that book! So glad you are making the recipe.
I love to eat my baked potato skins, crispy is the best
Hi Emmy !!❤ do you have names for your chickens or just miss hen?
I wish you'd do a tour of your chickens area..I learn from you and wish someday to have chickens of mine...
Cooked beets with cottage cheese is delicious
I totally thought the egg yolk would have gone in the mashed potatoes. I wonder if they would have saved the yolk for some other recipe later? I mean that's a source of lots of nutrients
Yeah, I think you're totally right on that one. The yolk most likely went right into the mashed potatoes.
Emmy, could this be made Keto by using riced cauliflower for the pie crust and filling?
The movie is great... BUT the book is sooo much better!!
Right?! I don't think I've ever seen a movie better than the book. 📚❤️
I love beetroot. Cottage cheese and beetroot sandwiches are the best❤
I'm curious as to what effect adding that one egg yolk to the mashed potatoes might have done for the dish - seems to me it would add a tiny bit more fat and give it a good mouth feel.
I had to laugh. You do realize, if they had cream, they would have had butter? Freshly made...:) j The movie is lovely, if you get a chance to see it.
Wouldn't b an Emmy made w/o the unmolding struggles
It’s supposedly very nutritious too, the peels I mean. Good to know this recipe, you never know when you might need it. Nothing in life is sure.
Definitely giving this one a go emmy
Great! Let me know what you think.🥔🥔🥔
I love it🤩
This actually looks so good!!!!😊
Yay!
Thanks!
@emmymade. I love your recipes and lessons. It makes me stronger and more enlightened on how to survive.
Maybe use pickled beet to give it a bit of tartness.
What happened to the egg yoke it might have been good in the filling ❤
That looks yummy
You make every food look tasty 😋 Even the food people don't like look tasty 😂🎉
Thank you 😋
I’m surprised that the recipe didn’t call for egg yolk to be blended in with the potatoes so that it would be richer, added yellow color, more formidable in the pie and somewhat of a simple custard rather than just letting the yolk go to waste or using it in something else.
I visited Guernsey over the summer. It's so lovely and if you ever get the chance to go, you should!
My Aunt used to make potato peel soup, no milk. Times were soooo hard!
Woo-wee!
Always here for your hard times recipes - thank you
Where's my slice?🍕 Happy Halloween, Emmy 👻🎃❣️🤕
🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕
Nice one as always, thank you for sharing. Yea baking paper would have made it easy to detach, I like your masher.
Yes, please, learn by my mistake - use baking paper!😆
I've got to try this! Thanks for sharing 😊❤
Let me know what you think!🥔🥧
I think the cheese provides the protein.
