@Carama Rasmussen, I started using a cutting board about ten years ago. My hands don't work as well as they used to, and after cutting myself too many times, the cutting board is a good thing to have.

I'm in my sixties and I didn't grow up with the food processors or the choppers. Everything's by hand. What's important is a really good cutting board and really good knives. Of course we need good cookware and good mixing bowls. It's okay not to have all the modern gadgets.

I am not sure why a potato cake video brought me to tears but it did. I miss my grandma so much and she's been gone since 1983. I know you all don't need reminding how tremendously blessed you are. She is an absolute treasure. God bless.

So precious! Don’t share it with the WHOLE country! I have fond memories of Grandma Beat’s potato cakes. Lots of onion is the key. She put onion in her fried squash too. My mom dredged her squash with cornmeal, but grandma used flour. Both were good, but the onions in grandma’s just hit the spot. Thank you for the laughs and the walk down memory lane. 🥔 🧅❤️

I just ate tater cakes. Everybody has their own way of making them. I use what I have left over in the refrigerator. Today I added green onions and chopped bell peppers. I don’t know how you could go wrong with tater cakes. Granny knows best.

Every day of my childhood, my mom always had a pot of pinto beans, fried potatoes, and cornbread on the stove for supper (with other things sometimes added, like pork chops or meatloaf). The tater cakes remind me of how my mom made tuna patties... Loved those! #countrycookin

I learn 2 things from Granny tonight. My potato cakes were way to big & only add sour cream & heavy cream . I knew about flour & egg. Then u said Pap made the best friend potatoes, well I’ve decided that only men can do world class fried potatoes. My brother & I have tried every trick in the book to match my dad’s potatoes but they r never right. Thanks again for memory lane!!!

Thank you for sharing with us Granny & Ms. Tipper! I made tater cakes for my Mom, they're So good! Crispy and brown on the outside and soft on the inside. It's funny how some people can take the same ingredients and make the same thing, but MaMa's or Grandma's was always better. I can't make fried taters or dressing like my Mom. They're okay, they're just not like hers or my MeMaw's. The grandkids would get to fightin' over the last of her fried taters, her mustard greens too! God Bless your family, sending you love from Memphis!

Oh my goodness! I am so hungry just looking at those and thinking about all that yummy onion cooked inside. I'm not sure I've ever had potato cakes, but I think it would be worth mashing some potatoes just to try them! Thanks so much, Tipper, for getting Granny to do this demonstration, and tell her how much we enjoyed it. And BTW, I planted potato sprouts in a pot on the deck today. I kept thinking about Granny planting potato peels, so that made me brave enough to try it even though I didn't know what I was doing and don't have a clue how to harvest them when the time comes, lol.
