I really truly would like you to try more milks - mainly the ones they don't show on the net - like corn milk. I think I put a list of milks on my website somewhere - and believe I did have potato on there. I bet rutabaga milk would be nice!
I think you should try cooling the potatoes completely before blending them cause the heat activates the starches from the potatoes while blending which makes the "milk" slimy, then after straining you let the milk sit for atleast 30 minutes so that the starches settle at the bottom so you can separate the "milk" from the strach.
Fun fact, cooked potato starch is one of the few starches that keep their sticky and slimy texture for a long time, even if you use it in baked goods. You should make vegan choux with it, I can give you the "SECRET RECIPE" and you must do it and react to it!
potatoes are also really watery. I bet the unripe potato is powdery enough to make a horchata. Raw potatoes are able to be juiced, and raw potato starch is a resistant starch. If you remove these - then you're left with protein - which I bet makes a great milk if not tofu.
Here it goes: Sift together 70g brown rice flour with 30g buckwheat flour and 5g chickpea flour and mix evenly. Bring 125g water with 20g sugar and pinch of salt and 20g peanut oil to a boil then add the flours and mix well off the heat. Add this dough to a stand mixer and mix on medium until completely cooled down. Bring 200g high protein soy milk mixed with 20g potato starch to a boil whisking constantly until it thickens to the maximum capacity (should be a little elastic, cook more rather than less). Add 30g of peanut oil and blend very evenly with an immersion blender. Add this mixture to the cooled dough in about 4-5 parts mixing very well after each addition. It must be extremely well homogeneous. Add 2.5g of baking powder and mix very well. Preheat oven to 210C. Pipe small macadamia nut sized choice, make them tall rather than flat. The dough is sticky so use wet fingers to fix problems. Bake in the middle of the oven for 15 min at 210 then 30 min at 180. No substitutions of any kind and I don't know imperial system measurements so don't ask. This recipe looks simple but is in fact VERY difficult actually so GOOD LUCK!
Note: the recipe is not mine so please support the author of the book and DO NOT share the recipe online. Book is in French "A l'école de la patisserie vegan"
@@chrissquarefan86 I've looked at a lot of french videos - and they use a lot of oil and sugar and plant milk. Count me out lol, even though I have buckwheat flour! However, this is good to know just in case.
For making most PB milks you have to have ratio 1:10 so if you had like a 500g of potato and other stuf, you should add 5 litres of water. You aded like 1L at most. Also If you making potato or oat milk, you dont want to mix it very long, because too much starch will separate...
I'm SO curious how this would go with sweet potato. Add pumpkin pie spice and you have the base for a sweet potato pie latte, which honestly sounds pretty good. Move over pumpkin spice lattes, sweet potato pie lattes are gonna be the new thing (or it'll just be disgusting, not sure which, yet).
Inga made a sweet potato latte on one of those episodes where three or four cooks all use the same ingredient to make something and then tell each other about it.
Really appreciate you finding ways to use the food waste in any way you can! A lot of youtubers just don’t acknowledge the potentially wasted food and what they might be doing with it (fingers crossed they’re donating or composting or doing something rather than trashing it) because we really don’t need more food waste out there
Probably best to compost the pulp at the end of the day though, not really sure what else you could really do with it, but I bet there are folks out there who know just the thing to do with it.
Using it all up, no waste, so important. My go to for most leftover veg, or nut pulp, put into strong flavoured soups and sauces, for grains and fruit leftovers, add into baking. They just disappear in there.
If you use this again for condensed milk you can take the pulp, add flour and salt and then form into small patties to be boiled. It's essentially the way my family makes potato dumplings and if it's sweet from the dates you can serve with a fruit syrup rather than the traditional gravy
Merle: Doesn't understand the almond milk comment Also Merle: this might be a good substitute if you don't have access to almonds. Are we just going to ignore the fact that a major ingredient is almonds?
I know that pain. I have an overbite and bite my lips all the time, it hurts so much and takes forever to heal. It’s not the best for you but I use Abesol
I was rooting for you! We were all rooting for you! That's the extent of my potato puns I'm afraid T_T I also tried potato milk when someone told me it was super sustainable but it was so bad that I though you know what, oats are totally fine with me!
hey that's what I said!! I bet the yellow potatoes would also add a nice milky color too - they're much stronger and taste better to most people (except me). I bet that would add the richness needed to remove the almond part.
I would love to see your rendition of vegan nachos, I usually just do chopped and seasoned mushrooms, but if you have any other ideas, love to see them! also... potato milk... i agree, id rather just have the mashed potatoes...
My only thought is if it were just potato milk it could possibly go well with a creamy pasta sauce? Like it could add the thickness and color needed, maybe, if you have no other options?
I haven't tried hone made potato milk. But I have bought some from the store. It wasn't that bad. Didn't taste like much. A wage powder consistenc. But I would buy it again. I have used it in a few sauces and I think it would be great to a long boil soup. I actually like that potato milk better then the most Almond milks I have tasted. I prefer oatmilk but if this one isent that diffrent from the one i tasted. I would drink it just like that. And to clarify. It defenetly wasn't that slimy. It had a pretty good consistency. Just bearly tasted like anything. Also why it is great for cooking. IDK of it is everywhere. I think it is a Swedish brand. Was fun seeing this though. I might try it and buy one to compare the two. I'll try to revisit this comment once I find the brands name. Good luck on future vids😄 It's DUGs potato milk. Not that shabby. You should try and compare the two😄
here in brazil we have inhame, which is kind like a potato and we vegans do cream cheese with that and brigadeiro (shake it with sugar and chocolate is amaaazing). i dont know if it is possible with potato but this video kind got me thinking
Yeah, nah. Glad to see your honest opinion of it. I'd like to see how many different grains you can use to make wraps/pancakes, especially if they're only a couple of ingredients, maybe compare using flour or blending them from soaked grains, taste and cost of it. Whatever you try to make it'll be interesting.
8:00 but what's wrong is putting it through a bag. Why not just eat as-is? I never understood the whole cheesecloth thing - I always eat my milks straight - no strainer. Bet this would be pretty nice with some sunflower - where it would decrease the sliminess. I bet it's coming from the almonds - which I also find slimy.
What do you think about the Lomi? Sometimes when I feel bad about messing up a culinary experiment, I feel like at least I can recycle it and get it to my parents' garden quickly. That said, about a year ago someone wrote me to say the Lomi was a scam, but I didn't understand their reasoning or trust their source. I don't know if you might have a stronger, better-backed opinion on the matter.
Lol, better to blend and strain before cooking.., then do another strain. or like edricknieves said. Have to separate the starches.. Another recommended cooling them before blending and straining... i think it wd be good with the white sweet potato...🎉
The slime is because of the natural starch, the heat of the potatoes, and all that blending! Next time (if there is a next time), use cold potatoes and blend less or with more water the first round 😊
I would love to see a chocolate chip cookie video, maybe to mix it up compare a cheap cookie, moderate cookie, and super expensive to see which is worth it.
I was thinking same thing that you were thinking of while you were squeezing the nut bag even I couldn't say it now I'm going too wash my brain out with soap love your videos.
I think this idea came from the trend in Asia of making milk or like a latte or something with sweet potatoes? I believe another previous Tasty employee Inga Lam did this in the ATE video (idk if she’s still there tbh)
Oh man it felt doomed from the start 😂 when I saw the ingredients in the blender, potato, almonds, dates I literally gagged 💀 luckily it didn’t come out super gross. Also: “ *potatoes are fooooork-tender!* ”
I already knew what was gonna happen when you were gonna blend the potatoes. Once I blended boiled potatoes I forgot what I was cooking. After blending it became slimy and stretchy. Really gross!
Could you just... use potato starch instead of having to boil whole potatos? Especially since it seems like the potato is just meant to be a thickener here.
It's probably just me, I dunno but it kinda felt like your attitude in this video was pretty bad, like you complained nearly the whole time. You didn't have to make it if you really didn't want to.
Merle: Someone called it almond milk, which I don't understand.
Two minutes later: I guess I'll soak like a half cup of almonds.
Thanks for watchin, everyone. This one was haunted from the start. Hit me with your best potato puns
Are you sure Aria didn't bite your lip? You two are a mash made in heaven 🥔😂
spuds up! Spuds ahoy? Idk where I'm going with this.
the potato of our eyes is in the potato milk. Ok I'm bad with potato puns.
I really truly would like you to try more milks - mainly the ones they don't show on the net - like corn milk. I think I put a list of milks on my website somewhere - and believe I did have potato on there. I bet rutabaga milk would be nice!
Just because of the way it looks I might give it a try
This woman juggles whenever she can!! I'm glad you didn't make my matcha latte with these!
So what if I do!!!
but you'd miss out on all the fun!
@@MerleONealnow you actually need to do that 🤣

I love potatos. 🥰So underrated. I eat them three times a week. Cooked, fried, deep-fried, but certainly not milkified! 😂
what about now? Will you milk it?
No. Even Merle hasn't convinced me. 😀@@extropiantranshuman
that's ok - maybe I will?@@Lunar_Vibes

That doesn't sound bad
million dollar idea right there
The starch in sweet potatoes is softer and should remove some of the slimyness

Merle you gotta tuck the cord hahahah
JESUSS this thing was killin me 😅
ohoooo boy cannot wait to see your thoughts
You are so brave! I can’t imagine making this or drinking it.
I was rooting for you! We were all rooting for you! That's the extent of my potato puns I'm afraid T_T I also tried potato milk when someone told me it was super sustainable but it was so bad that I though you know what, oats are totally fine with me!
I dont think you can make it yourself, it would require a lot more processing I guess
That looked haunted. But the ending made me curious: any plans to revisit it using sweet potatoes to try it as a condensed milk alternative?
THIS is smart
hey that's what I said!! I bet the yellow potatoes would also add a nice milky color too - they're much stronger and taste better to most people (except me). I bet that would add the richness needed to remove the almond part.
Next episode making Thai Tea with this potato milk and fudge

You made pudding with potato starch and almonds. Could have just bought a packet of instant pudding mix (which is mostly starch) :D

If you do try it as an unsweetened condensed milk please let us know how it turns out!
This is completely off topic but just occurred to me... when are we getting a tour of your new place??? I'd love to see it!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for the funniest video I've ever seen on her channel. Enjoy your potatoes bluege. LOL.😂

Another recommended cooling them before blending and straining... i think it wd be good with the white sweet potato...🎉
there are various ways of reducing the excess starch from potatoes before cooking them so maybe that is something that will help.
At the start of the video, I genuinely thought that you were going to juice RAW potatoes and drink the starchy water 😬
Thank you for saving my potatoes!
Potatoes Are Boiled Tender, the B-side of I've Got Lemons on My Potholders will drop soon at a release party at Tower Records, New York.
Please know that in spite of how awful this was, I thoroughly enjoyed going on this journey with you lol

Interesting fact about our girl Merle. Her eyes look brown but they are not true brown. She got deep hazel eyes. Beautiful.❤
In Tamil culture, there's potato payasam, which is a spin on payasam (rice/vermicelli milk pudding)
Ahhh! Why??? 😂😂 Once again, thanks for taking one for the team. This was a bad idea, and a waste of potatoes 😂😂😂
As a baby, my brother had so many allergies that potato milk was the only milk he could drink!
This is prime example of: The Vegans have gone too far....

🫣
Do celebrity vegan meals, those are so fun 😛
I'll look into some more!
I absolutely LOVE potatoes in most forms but milk is definitely where I draw the line. 😬
I totally agree
Sweet Potato milk might be good. I use them in smoothies. 🤔
Would be great to see you cook some vegan Indian recipes.
Go to Rainbow Plant Life, if you haven't already. She is Indian
Noted!
2:52 Wait.... What? Sooo, this isn't pure potato milk? It still has almonds in it?
The thought of potato milk just makes me think "...I can just imagine it tastes "cloudy" And not the good kind of cloudy 😬
Somehow I think making pancakes out of this "milk" would be delicious - what's wrong with me?😂
because it's so thick!
Now OF COURSE you need to do a video using it as a vegan condensed milk substitute in a recipe
Oh Merle….you took one for the team with this one. And yeah the appearance and texture ummmm…. 👀👀👀
Ohhh i love potatoes. They're just so ap-peel-ing to me :-)
But i think you're in for a root one with this recipe
ehehehehehee
oh, too much slimy for me =D Big thumbs up for being so brave and trying this
Oh man it felt doomed from the start 😂 when I saw the ingredients in the blender, potato, almonds, dates I literally gagged 💀 luckily it didn’t come out super gross.
Also: “ *potatoes are fooooork-tender!* ”
Is it like liquified oatmeal?
That’s what it smelled like
Sounds like a recipe for major constipation.
what book you were reading?

Am I about to remake this latte with potato milk?
We'll just have to seeee
after seeing you squeeze the cheese cloth? I'm good. Love the video though! lololol

Potato milk huh
im afraid so
