It's such a comfort to be able to watch these videos. It's like Miss Phyllis is still here with us; her son is wonderful, but I sometimes get homesick for her!

When I start to clean my apartment, I put you on my big screen tv so I can hear you and see you while cleaning, you know living in NYC can be hectic. When I put on your videos I feel a sense of calmness, plus you remind me of my grandma the way you are calm and a great cook plus more and it makes me feel happy being that she is no longer with us. :-)

Haven't had these in years. Great memories. My mom and aunt would stand and fry those up in the summer for ten kids. My aunts five kids and my moms five kids. We would line up in the kitchen and get one on a napkin and run out on the porch and eat them. All ten of us running in and out of the house grabbing them as fast as they fried them. My mom told me one time the neighbor said " You ten kids look like a bunch of hillbillies eating those things sitting on the porch like that. My mom said she told him, " Well that's good, because all them kids are hillbillies"........ So funny. 😀

During my mother's last illness, she had no appetite and it was hard to find things that she wanted to eat. One day, she said that she would like some fried green tomatoes. I raided my brother's garden, and she talked me through the cooking process; not quite so elaborate as this recipe, she was a very good, very minimalist cook. I think I fried up two or three tomatoes, and she ate most of them. I got a few small pieces and was so glad that she had something that appealed to her! Thanks, Ms Phyllis, for a good trip down memory lane!

I first had fried green tomatoes in Juliet at the cafe that was used in the film Fried Green Tomatoes...they were delicious, we were even interviewed by a local television station because we were the only Australian's at the tomato festival.

THERE IS NOTHING MORE DELICIOUS THAN FRIED GREEN TOMATOES. I LIKE TO PICK THEM WHEN THEY HAVE JUST A TAD OF PINK SHOWING AND THEY AREN'T AS BITTER AS THE TOTALLY GREEN ONE BUT I LOVE THEM NO MATTER WHAT. THANK YOU.

My mom made these when I was a kid and I loved them. She didn't teach me how to do it, but you did. Thank you!!

I can't tell you how much I love your videos. I'm a Yankee transplanted to Palm Springs California. Our best friends are 2 boys from Kentucky, and Tennessee who live nearby. While we do have a restaurant that serves the best buttermilk fried chicken, the owners are from Georgia, there is not a lot of Southern meals around town. So, when I have the guys over for dinner, I have mastered long cooked green beans, and excellent collard greens that they have said was as good, if not better than they got at home. Thanks for doing Fried Green Tomatoes, I'm gonna surprise them with that side dish the next time we have them over for dinner.

Please keep this channel up forever. Mrs. Stokes videos are teaching me how to cook. The instruction style is perfect.

I am 51 this year and still haven't had any 😩 I don't think any of our shops here in England sell green tomatoes so it was lovely watching you make them. Big hugs from Nette in England xx

One of the locally owned restaurants has a fried green tomato as an extra you can add to their burgers. Now Phyllis has mentioned it I think I will try them nxt time! Our fresh tomato buying season is over here in TN. I won't fry store bought tomatoes, they just don't taste the same for me and my spoiled southern palate LOL

Hubby made the fried cheese patties for lunch today. TO DIE FOR!! Everyone needs to make these!!

Cooking with Miss Phyllis

Just another good one Phyllis an old southern saying waste not want not boy u just done this one up right

Finally a recipe I can use. Thanks beautiful lady I love your wholesome cooking.... very different from what I'm used to seeing from the US. Green tomatoes are rarely seen here in Australia unless you grow your own so will have to get onto this.

You've taught me 2 new things over the past week I've never heard of or tried before. These cheese patties, and the okra fritters from previous video. I cannot wait to try both of them as they look so good. And now I know what I've been doing wrong with my fried green tomatoes. I've never salted them first to draw out the moisture. I can see how that would really make a difference. You are THE best!

Miss Phyllis I love these!!! But never put them on burgers! What a brilliant idea!!!You have a great method! And I will definitely be trying the potato cheese patties! What another great idea! No waste!!!

Your husband is a lucky man to have such a frugal wife. I love the idea of not letting things go to waste. I have always wanted to try fried green tomatoes and now I can, with a bonus of the cheese balls. My mom used to make the same dipping sauce you did. My mom is no longer alive, so I look forward to learning new recipes from you. Also you have such a calming voice.

He is a blessed man to have a wife who COOKS, frugal or not. So unusual these days. Watching these videos has reminded me that cooking simple, wholesome meals isn't that hard, it's just a matter of organization and taking the time and being physically with-it enough to stand in front of the stove for a while. I really enjoy watching Phyllis, and I wonder, watching her, if she's always been a success at whatever she's tried her hand at. She's so capable, and so calm and well-spoken.

Success to me is just a matter of continuing to try until you get it right, sometimes it takes a lot more effort than at other times. One of my total failures was in high school taking a course in Shorthand, I only made a C grade, I think the teacher just felt sorry for me and gave me that C. I determined right then I would not be a secretary to anyone who required shorthand. I consider that course a great failure for me and see I'm still talking about it all these years later.

Loved this one...love them all !!!!

@Phyllis: I was out in the garden today trimming all the leaves off my tomato plants & found I have a lot of green tomatoes yet. I was happy to come across your recipe & the tip about freezing the leftovers. I also am going to try the cheese patties so that I can pull a few out of the freezer & into the toaster oven whenever I want some. I have never tried fried green tomatoes on a hamburger. It sounds so delicious I'll be having it for dinner tomorrow. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed your video.

Thank you .... both dishes look yummy and I love that you found a second way to use up some of the leftover ingredients ... so that's how it's done!

You've took me down memory lane again, Phyllis. I know now how you got most of Fried Green Tomatoes to keep most their coating, you drained them on the paper after salting, then salted,dipped, & coated...they fried perfect..using only a little oil. Are you sure you never majored in the Science of Home Economics? The cheese Fritz you made look and sound good too.

Fried Green Tomatoes are So Stinking Amazing on a Hamburger/Cheeseburger! They're so good that they make you want to Sass ya Moma!!! Lol!!! There is a rest./bar nearby that makes celeb.named burgers! I forget who this one is named for, a local I'm sure, but it has burger, w/wo cheese, lettuce, fried green tomatoes, green onion, applewood bacon, and a sauce similar to the one you made but it had a kick to it, all on toasted something bun . IT came with hand cut fries. We also would order fried dill pickles-yummm! And to make it "taller "my husband would add a fried Vidalia onion ring on his burger! With all the fried things -we only eat this once a year, lol, maybe twice😉!!! SoooGood!!!

Hello Miss Phyllis enjoy your recipes so much. They remind me of my grandmother's and mom's cooking from the 50s onward. Instead of using all three glass bakeware you could put the flour and bread crumbs in gallon plastic storage bags. I also make the little cheese potatoe bread patties with the leftovers have always done it that way. Your sauce is like homemade thousand island dressing.

Never had fried green tomatoes. So I will have to try these one of these days real soon. Looks good thanks.

What a great recipe. I can just taste the yumminess!

My neighbor grows tomatoes and for the last 2 years, she has brought me over 3-4, green ones, so I can make me some fried green tomatoes. Love them. I just dredge mine in an egg and milk mixture and then Louisiana fish fry that is seasoned. So good. Mama always made them with cornmeal. I'd beg for one of the green ones. Once and awhile, she'd let me go pick one off for myself. I love the tang they have. I also like them sliced a little thinner, but to each his own. You've gone and made me hungry again girl! And walla! A new recipe for cheese curds. Yum

New subscriber from Texas. You make the best recipes and I just love fried green tomatoes, so wanted to thank you! I will be making these!

my mouth watered the entire time I watched!!

I could eat that whole batch..... Probably my favorite food in the world....

Thank you for sharing your recipe! I love watching your videos.

Fried green tomatoes are one of my favorite summer treats! I first had a burger with a fried green tomato on it 3 years ago in North Carolina! It was so good. I don't know why we never tried them together before, I know my Grandma would have loved the combination. I use her wooden handle, really sharp 4 tine fork to turn my fried green tomatoes just as she did and my Mother did also. Most every lady I knew as a child had a similar fork for turning more delicate fried foods. I am going to try those cheese fritters with my leftover breading, they looked good. A new recipe and one that keeps me from throwing out the breading is terrific! Well done.

Per usual. Your ingenuity abounds!

My mom loved fried green tomatoes❤️ I always liked mine thin and well done. Thanks

Everything looks so delicious, I love fried green tomatoes and I sure do love cheese, great job!

I love fried green tomatoes,, thank you so much

Looks really good. I love fried green tomatoes. Much love from Indiana!! ❤

You bring back so many sweet memories for me of my precious grandmothers cooking up a storm in their kitchens! Oh, how I miss them!

Gosh it looks so good! That cheese crisp looks Devine! Yummers

the color on those tomatoes is so beautiful. who wouldve thought youd find neon green in nature lol

Excellent ideas! Good use of the extra coatings. I freeze my discard oil/fat in a container, pop the oil/fat into a discard plastic bag when frozen and put outside on garbage day, while still frozen. Thanks for another soothing video!

I've never thought of doing the salt trick with green tomatoes, as I always have with eggplant. I will try that next time!

I just love fried green tomatoes. And your cheese patties look wonderful I must try them.

Ooooh....These look divine! 💜💛🧡

I remember when I was growing up, it was a cardinal sin to throw out food. My mother used to make sure we used up everything we had and she never let anything go to waste. I really like how you concocted the cheese patties recipe by using up the leftover ingredients. I never would have thought of adding in the instant potatoes! I am excited about making these. Thank you, Ms. Phyllis.

Delicious!! The hardest part is waiting 25 or 30 minutes before dipping & breading the tomato slices to fry them!! Thanks for another video & recipe, Ms. Phyllis! Great on hamburgers! Very creative with the cheese balls, too!

Oh my! My mouth is watering! Fried green tomatoes is a very favorite late summer treat of mine. Very ingenious of using your left over ingredients with fried cheese balls! I bet they were scrumptious! Will remember to do that instead of throwing the ingredients away! Thank you for the inspiration!

I want all this right now!!Oh,this looked great!!

I realize you channel is not ASMR, but I find your voice and commentary very relaxing.

Sorry to post again, but I learned a trick about how to remember what order to do the flour-egg-bread crumb process. If you just think of FEB (as in February), you can remember which one to do first, second and third, lol. I always used to mix up the which-came-first flour and egg steps.

I'm used to fried red tomatoes! So good! I love your recipe for the potato/cheese balls. Going to give that a try!

Nothing better than a dinner like this. We had similar when the tomatoes started coming in. Loving the cheese patties and fresh bread crumbs! Be well, ~~QM

That looks delicious, I never had green tomatoes they look so good.

Oh my goodness, you're a genius! Potato cheese balls! YUM! I've always wanted to try fried green tomatoes too!!

yum.........I love fried green tomatoes

Thank you so much for doing this video!! I love fried green tomatoes and now I can make them myself!! I never knew about the salting part. I have a lot of green tomatoes still in my garden and I'm gonna cook up a bunch tomorrow!! Yummeeeeeeee!!

I love the green tomatoes also your pie crust are so good and easy to make. My grandson loves your apple pie recipe. Ms phillis, I am a senior but learning so much from you You and Mr Bucky are the best

I'm from the south and a lot of these recipes and methods I'm very familiar with. I love the down to earth, no frills, no amped up goofy giddiness like some of these other vids and tutorials display. *seems fake * Good job!

Miss Phyllis you are brilliant. That was a great idea with the cheese.

Please never stop your wonderful videos, I am a new fan and am so glad I found you!

Fantastic, hon. I am a real fan of friend green tomatoes. I also really enjoy your videos.

Boy do I admire your "frugal" restraint! I don't think I could save any of those tomatoes...I think I'd eat them all!! They look wonderful!

Thank you, I always wanted to know how to make the first mixture eggs and buttermilk. Your awesome!

Miss Phyllis, thank you so much for the information about cracking eggs on a hard surface to avoid shells. One would think that at my age (67) years old, that I would know this. However, I have been cracking my eggs on the rim and then digging out the shells that have fallen into the bowl! Lol oh well, you live you learn. Anyway I wanted to tell you that I have been cracking my eggs on the counter top since you have given me that information and not one shell has fallen into the bowl.

I just love these recipes !!! I know it will be off the chain and tasty !!! Many healing blessings to you and hugs too . Love Bella

I can't wait to try your new recipe (the fried cheese patties)! Boy was I drooling watching this video! I've never had a fried green tomato but I must say they look delicious! I will definitely try to make those too if I can find them. If not I'll use regular tomatoes. Thank you Miss Phyllis for another fantastic video & more ideas of what I can cook! God bless you & Mr. Bucky!

Oh..my mom never wasted anything...just like you and I. Both of these recipes look great. I love fried green tomatoes and have made them many times..but the cheese patties look wonderful. I can not wait to make them too!

Your experiment looks delicious, as well as your green tomatoes, this is a 'keeper' going into my like folder

Looks so good ....

Looks so yummy. There is nothing like fried green tomatoes.

Ok, Phyllis, you've inspired me! I bought plain flour, Crisco, some jello, canned fruit and cream cheese yesterday. if these folks start complaining about their britches getting too tight I am gonna blame it on you! ;) Just kidding! I def wanna try those cheese patties. What a wonderful idea! I often use the leftover flour mixture after I bread chicken or pork chops, or chicken friend steak to make my milk gravy with for that meal.

One of my favorite things Mom loved her fried green tomatoes, she also like her bacon, She fried everything in bacon grease My neighbor had so many green tomatoes that didn't ripen, (we had a lousy short summer) so I asked him if he ever fried green tomatoes, He looked at me like I had three heads. I'm going to make him a fried green tomato sandwitch come next year!

Ms.Phyliss your FGT'S look delicious! The cheese balls ain't slackin' either! I love all these dishes, pure southern eating! I was taught how to make them (tomatoes) the way my family did..but over the years, I have put my own spin on making mine...I use cornmeal and wondra flour or rice flour mixed with a little bit of cornstarch (crunch factor)..I soak mines first in a brine of sugar and salt, then bread them in seasoned buttermilk and then dredge in my seasoned cornmeal mixture..then fry. I serve mines with a BLT dip...plenty of diced fried bacon (a whole pack), finely diced red onions or fresh chives, mayo, chp.red tomatoes, shot of apple cider cvinegar, squeeze of honey, parsley, salt & cayenne pepper...oh, and a BIG fork!
