My grandmother in Bangor Maine made these until she died in 1988. I inherited the recipe and brought the family together in 2014 to eat them again. According to my dad, his mother would put a dime in one, a button in another, and something else he can't remember which would tell your fortune. She used to use her nylons instead of cheese cloth!

My Mother in Lewiston, Maine used to make these also, she is originally from Shediac NB, Canada. She also would put a coin or 2 in several of them.

My mom used to make it with nylons too, and we have Cormiers in our family too - maybe it's a tradition? lol

Been looking for the recipe for years! Tysm!

Oh wow

so similar to what we it in Lithuania, called "cepelinai" 👍

I've always seen this made with Cheesecloth. They are SO good.

That's the way we always make them as well because otherwise they often fell apart.

You can cheat with these if you are afraid of them falling apart. Steam them. They still cook perfectly but you dont have to fear them breaking up.

Awe! That looks so good.

As I stated before we used cheese cloth and salt instead of brown sugar. If not sensitive to msg a pinch of the stuff to keep the potatoes white. We used a food processor for the grating and instead of chopping the meat. We also used the spin cycle of the washer to get the water out with two bags of potatoes to balance the drum. Lots of work but worth it.

Watching that just made me hungry!

The number of times I exclaimed "what?!" To this video is too damn high

Sooo good

Brown sugar!!!!! We always just use salt! I've never had it sweet before but the traditions vary depending on what town you're in! Also, we call them "snot balls" haha

We used brown sugar, butter, and salt.

Do you have any tips on not having to use cheesecloth to keep them together?

If I wasn't a vegetarian I would try this. It looks delicious. Maybe I can put veggies inside the mashed potatoes instead.

you absolutely can! The acadian version is salted pork but the recipe got to Acadia because of German farmers if I recall. They do their Kartoffelklöße (potato dumpling) with a wide range of fillings, even some sweet and fruity! :D

The pork makes them

I use a ratio of 2 grated to 1 mashed. I've been attempting to make em but as soon as they go into the water - the mashed seems to break up leaving only busted grated potatoes and filler floating around.

Use Russet potatoes, use a medium sized grate, you have to squeeze a fair amount of water out of the grated potato, water needs to boil always but not too hard and finally you can wrap your poutine with a cheese cloth to limit breakage. Making poutines râpées is difficult. Nice to have someone with some experience for the first time.

I have so many questions! My Grandmother use to make these every year but she stopped after my Grandfather died (in the early 1980s) and no one in my family took over the tradition. I would like to start making them. First ... what do you cook the potatoes in? Stock or water? For the mashed potatoes do you add anything like butter or cream or seasoning or just mash the cooked potatoes. I have heard you can run the potatoes thru a juicer which grates them and separates out the liquid, has anyone tried this? Would it make it too dry? When you cook the actual poutines ... how do you know when they are done? What do you cook them in, water or stock? If anyone knows ... or has any hacks/tips, please let me know.

Nicole Dufour DuRocher- my grandparents have been making 100+ every Christmas for over 25 years and it’s definitely a traditional staple at our house. Just salted water to cook the potatoes and when cooking the poutines themselves. Never tried the juicer but you want to squeeze all of the liquid from the raw potatoes so I don’t see them being ‘too dry’ as an issue. Gently boil the poutines in salted water for 2-2.5 hours and they’ll turn a greyish colour. Enjoy!

My mother used a juicer that spun the pulp super dry. It worked better. I'd assume how dry your grated potatoes are might affect how much mashed you should mix in?

Almost like Swedish "palt". We serve it with butter and a glass of milk. Some serve it witih lingonberry jam.

Après avoir écouté la chanson « Menu acadien » de Lisa LeBlanc, j'ai dû chercher une recette de poutine râpée. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oppn3LmEqrq6m7w.html

I need the recipe!

Désolée mais je ne pourrais jamais mangé ça 😊
