I had been out and I got up hungry. So, I better be cooking me something. So, what I did is I took uh these are called thick men potatoes. My mother always fixed them. It's just like a comfort food. I took before of these um rusted potatoes. I peeled them, cut them in cubes, and I boiled them with a little salt and got em kinda tender and I've cooked me one piece of bacon. And I'm gonna put some one onion in it and I'm gonna saute this real quick to go on my potatoes but here's the trick of these. You don't have to do this part if you don't want it but I thought it'd be good but anyway, um what you do is this, you boil your potatoes and I'm gonna bring y'all over here and let you watch what I'm doing in just a second. But it's got just enough water in it. To just barely cover the top. You see that? Just enough water to cover the top. Okay, when they get tender, you put you in some butter. I'm gonna put me two nice packs in there. I'm hungry. I'm putting two nice packs of butter in there. Alright. Then, you take you some flour which I put, I put four teaspoons of flour in this. It doesn't matter if it's self-friended or plain and you really slowly add you some water in there. You can't put your flour directly into your potato. If you do, it'll not up. So, you wanna stir it real good like this. Just put a little bit in there and get all the knots out of it. Just real good. See, it's getting thicker but it's not, I want, I want Imma put a little bit more water. And this is gonna make a thickening in that potato. It's gonna make it thick in there. I'm flopping everywhere. Alright, that's about right. You see? Look. Okay, now I'm gonna put. What I'm gonna do is turn this down real low to maybe three or something. I don't want it boiling hard. Just turn my onions around a little bit. I've already fried my bacon. I'm just gonna saute these in a minute. Anyway, you put this in here. Let me uh let me put it in there real slowly and I'm just gonna barely do it around and I might not use all this cuz I don't want it too thick. It's called thickening potatoes. That juice in there is gonna get kinda thick. It'll be similar to uh potato but it's not potato soup. Alright. Now, I'm gonna let you come over here and look at this cuz I want you to see it. Alright, let's get down in here and look now. Alright, I think you can see that. You see that? Thickening up in there. See how it's thickening up? That's called thickening potatoes and then what you do is this. I've got me two eggs and I told you I had this on real low now. I don't want it bubbling and boiling and all that. You crack an egg and put it in there. Gently and you don't stir it. You just put it in there. And put me in. I'm gonna have two eggs tonight. Now, my my mother in law is the one that taught me how to make this and she had five children. So, she had to put a lot of eggs in there for her family. Alright, come over here and look in the pot. Do you see those two eggs in there? Okay, it'll almost be like a poached egg. A poached egg. You just don't wanna cook it too much. It'll be good in there. So, if you do that and you don't stir it, you just kinda make sure that uh your egg is covered with a little juice so it can cook in there. Okay, I'm back. Somebody call on the phone so my video automatically stops when I'm doing that. That's okay. Alright, I'm gonna get me a plate and I'm gonna dip me out some of this. I'll show you how it's gonna look. Let me get me a Alright, I'm gonna dip out some of this good thickening potato and can you see that egg in there? Can you see that? I'll I'll fix it and then I'll let you see and see how thick the potatoes are and you got your egg in there. It'll be so good. Oh, I think I get this whole plate of this stuff. Okay, then you put you a little pepper on the top. You know, I told you I'd already salted my other. So, you put a little pepper on it and then, you put on your um onions, and your bacon. If you want onions, it's bacon which I did and I will put that right on the top I put, I did one strip of bacon and one onion and this is it. You've got in this dish, you've got potatoes, two eggs, one onion, one strip of bacon, and then I did my little flour and water together and I didn't put it all in there. See, I forgot a bunch left but I didn't put it in there because this is thick enough. It makes the juice and it's real good. Anyway, I'm fixing to eat it. Um it's gonna be delicious and you might like some thickening potatoes. It's a old recipe and I think they used to use it long time ago because everybody just about had potatoes. I remember one time my mother um she lived, she and daddy lived on a farm and you used to put your potatoes down in a cool spot uh under the house and um mother was having company to come and she was embarrassed cuz back then they you just really didn't have much to eat and so she peeled her potatoes before um her company came because you know, potatoes after they get older, they're still good but they're they're they're kinda mushy or they might uh have a little spongy to em and she didn't want her company to know that that's what they were eating. She said they ate drunk greens all the time because that's turnip greens and potatoes is what they had. So, anyway, I love potatoes and uh I'm gonna eat my potatoes and my my this called thickening potatoes. And it's just a good comfort food. If you're ever in the kitchen, you don't have anything to fix. Boil you some potatoes. Put you some butter in it. A few eggs after they get done and a little thickening and it'll be good and everybody will like it. Talk to you later. Buh bye.
