    I don't often comment but I love your your channel. I grew up in an Amish Foster family until I was 12 1/2yrs old. At times I miss that life style, but I have had a very time adjusting to the way the world is behaving today. I'm no longer married and my only son was killed in Afghanistan on Mother's day 2012. I do have 3 granddaughters but they live in another state and I'm disabled in a wheelchair. I love to garden and do what I can on my porch. I love your recipes very much. Thank you for your channel. God love you😊♥️😊

    My grandparents had a small subsistence farm and used their milk straight from the cow. Because they only had 5 - 6 cows, who were hand milked twice a day, they saw their health and never needed to pasteurize the milk. My mom grew up on this farm and ate non- processed or chemically fertilized food and I believe that is one of the reasons she lived to be 100 years old. Thanks for taking me back to great memories of visiting their farm.

    You would think making mashed potatoes is not complicated but I am in my mid 60’s and you taught me some things I did not know. I look forward to your videos every weekend! Thank you for sharing with us!

    That closing scene with that glorious sky was so beautiful. I’m always leery of freezing potato dishes, they always seem to have a grainy consistency afterwards. I’ll do a test run with the added fats, your recipes have never let me down. Thank you.

    Love the boys helping and singing

    I am tearing up and so filled with holiday cheer 4 minutes into the video. Your boys peeling potatoes singing jingle bells to the piano is priceless. ♥️ thank you for the make ahead recipe as well. Blessings to you and your family.

    I so enjoyed this video! I am the official mashed potato maker in my family and I usually cook five pounds of potatoes to mash. I have thought about making them ahead, and thanks to your video, I think this may be the year to do it. We travel about three hours away to my daughters every year and go the day before to help prepare. This will just take one thing off of the list to do in a very busy busy kitchen day. Thanks and I wish you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving!

    Being Irish I had to laugh at the idea of needing a recipe for mashed potatoes, but yours are much posher than I ever had as a child with only butter and salt being added. Then I moved to England and there they covered mashed potatoes in gravy - brown gravy Mande from the roasted meat juice. Having three very hungry sons and strapped for cash I developed potato pie - frying onions until brown (cold water helps them brown) , then lashings of potato in a deep pie dish and covering Cheddar cheese in the oven until golden and a slightly hard crust. If you cook too many potatoes make potato cakes - just dust with flour and fry - yummy ! People used to request potato pie if they were coming for a dinner party when I was trying to do very grand cooking withmuch finer things. I miss potatoes when I go on holiday to Asia. Jacket potato with various toppings or cooked in the bonfire in foil - such happy memories with simple food.

    Your weekly videos are the best part of my Saturday morning!

    What a great recipe. I will have to try this for my book club Christmas dinner. I am 71 and still learning from your videos. I am watching this while processing a deer. The boys working together is fun to watch. Such a great life.

    Thank you, I hope you all have a fantastic Trip, and Thanksgiving day !

  • @marylynnbehrens5562

    I just love seeing your boys help you in the kitchen peeling potatoes and singing Christmas carols, that just melted my heart! You have a beautiful family! Have a very blessed Thanksgiving and safe travels!

  • @canadiangirl5159

    I love how your young men are singing a Christmas song while they work. Great job guys.

    RuthAnn: I make mashed potatoes and vacuum seal them before freezing. I add everything except the black pepper which I add when they are reheated. My frozen mashed potatoes last for months in the freezer if you have the space available. I do this when my supply of fall potatoes is near its end to reduce waste. The vacuum sealed bags can be placed in a pot of simmering water for re-heating or they can be warmed in a covered dish in the oven or microwave. I don't recommend microwaving in the plastic bags. If they come out a little softer than I would like I add a small quantity of instant potato flakes to firm them up and no one can taste the difference. I do love your videos with the children.

    Grew up around Mennonite families, we called them sour cream and vibe mashed tators, they ARE delicious...we use condensed milk in our plain potatoes and they store well too with 3 whole sticks of butter in them...Great video, miss having smaller kiddos, safe travels 🙏🏻😊

    Farm kids have the best life! I enjoyed seeing your youngest get his chocolate milk straight from the cow (I think I saw some of your chocolate mix in the bottom of the jar when he took it outside). Good stuff!
