As a single dad with 2 teen boys I struggled for years to cook stuff they would eat and admittedly we ate out a lot.. about a year ago I was told about you and these videos,. And I gotta say thank you sir, because of your awesome videos I'm finally able to cook good meals almost like my grandma use too... And my boys will actually eat my food now

I made it a point to learn how to cook and hone my cookery skills at an early age. I did not want to end up a middle-ager with diabetes type 2 and over weight. This once bachelor never depended on Mc slops or Burger King to feed me. Does a man well to learn to cook, also if he marries a woman that can't till she learns from her husband. I am The official biscuit and bread baker and gravy maker of the household. I leave the pasta dishes and some of the casseroles upto my wife. Hey Beagle here is a 🍩 for ya ol' boy. Get daddy to make some of the old fashion bear sign (donuts) like the cookies did in the old cattle drives.

You got to add some slivered almonds in them sparkling taters with the Mountain Dew gives it kind of a Nutty taste and a little crunch

This looks so good!! My dad taught me to make a somewhat similar recipe. His was russet potatoes, onions and garlic. Add salt and pepper, half stick of butter and…coca cola. We cook them in a Dutch oven, or covered pie pan on the grill. It was a hit at any cookout!

Serrano peppers have a better flavor than jalapeños in my opinion..excellent choice. the Mexican gentleman i use to work with always were eating them..

Love all Kent’s recipes! I got a 12” Dutch oven and love using it just like this. I also love hearing Kent say “warsh” and “fahr” cause it reminds me of my WV grandmother!

I've been making your sparkling taters since 2014. I can't wait to try this one. If I were you, I'd top that off with a little Durkee French Fried onions all crumbled. I have to confess - I've been doing it that way at my house since 2015. Congrats on 2 million subscribers Kent and Shan. You're the best and love to all those woobits.

Congratulations on passing the 2 million mark. You and Shannon deserve it. If I were to add something to this dish it would probably be sweet corn and/or ground chorizo

Why am I just now finding your channel I’m addicted!!!

Hello Kent, Shannon, and all the taste testers! My wife and I, and our 8 children have enjoyed your videos for quite some time and your recipes have certainly brought many a smile and full belly to our humble home. The one simple ingredient I would add to this dish which would bring just a touch of heat and a whole lot of good smokey flavor, would be a teaspoon or so of ground chipotle peppers. This dish is outstanding as is, but if I were to add anything at all that would be it. Thank you all for everything that you do, and may God bless you!

Love your show! Elephant garlic is named from its super size, usually they're around 2 inches in diameter or larger. The flavor is more intense garlic and sweeter then normal garlic. I use it because my chili recipe only calls for 3 cloves of garlic.

No FUNgus, keep yours.

I think the only thing that might improve this perfect recipe would be if I were invited for dinner the next time you cook it! Barring that idea, laying some short ribs on the bottom in that Mountain Dew and slow-cooking the whole thing might just be divine! Oh, the possibilities! Going now to dig out my daddy's cast iron! God bless you and yours and all your puppies, too!

Our son has made several of your great recipes -- you're one of his heroes. If there's enough liquid, it seems like some dumplings or biscuits on top would be the "piece d'resistance" -- especially if they're made with Mtn Dew! Soda pop in dumplings produces light, fluffy, and moist little clouds of heaven to top off this 'heart of the earth' recipe!

I'm definitely going to be trying these taters! They look so good! Whenever we make a similar dish, we have found that a good application of fresh oregano really ramps up the flavor! Much love to you and yours! Blessings from Ohio!

It might sound pretty far out of left field but i would try pineapple. The acid in that should complement the sweet and slightly citrus flavor from the mtn dew pretty well. I use pineapple when i cook other starches with mtn dew either just the juice or chunks if it fits. Thank you for all the recipes Mr. Kent and Miss Shannon, we appreciate you!

I’m am definitely going to try this recipe! It looks amazing and we do love Mountain Dew. My suggestion for an added ingredient would be a sweet red pepper.

Congrats on 2 million!! So happy for y'all! I'd have to say that I think it might need a bit of a citrusy sweet thing such as mandarin oranges or pineapple. Cut it up into little pieces and you'll have a burst of sweet to go with the saltiness of the bacon and complimenting the mountain dew. Or even adding a bit of citrus juice would also work.

We’ve so enjoyed your recipes and videos, and have learned so much about cast iron cooking.! Congratulations on the 2 Million milestone.! We are all about the meat in our dishes and thought we might want to try our sliced pork loin recipe with this dish. Will report back on just how it works out! Thanks Again for all you guys do.!

We're cooking this right now and adding some carrots to it and it smells amazing!! Thanks for this awesome recipe!

Congratulations Kent and Shannon on 2 million! I've made a similar Dutch Oven tater dish for years, minus the Mtn Dew. Sounds like a great addition! The one other ingredient I & my family like is Jimmy Dean Sage Sausage. If you don't care for Sage flavor JD Original is good too. Thanks for all you share with us.

Here is what I would add: 1. Make it breakfast! Add some eggs to scramble with the potatoes! 2. Make it a "garden mess" by adding string green beans. (I know, 2 suggestions. But I've made a version of these potatoes for years, and I've added these ingredients. Not together, but separately. The garden mess started when a friend brought over a bunch of veggies from his garden. So my dad throw them all together on the grill with a ton of butter and bacon. And in the morning, my dad added eggs to the mess to make it breakfast!)

We once added Sprite and Sparkling Cider as the main liquid for a london broil marinade. It was amazing! Totally recommend. This recipe reminded me of it. I'm excited to try it.

When I saw this in your cookbook I thought it looked great, the one thing I think I would add would be mushrooms. I love mushrooms in everything. They add a meaty flavor without all the extra fat. I'm still waiting on the third cookbook. I love y'all, God bless.

This is very much like a family favorite we call "the grumble" I haven't used mountain dew in it YET but when I make it for breakfast I always add eggs. I remember once the grandkids were going out a little early until I said I'm making Grumble, they turned right around and started setting the table.

Congratulations on the 2M! Glad to be one of 'em! I'm a big fan of white vinegar on my potatoes. I think it might add a little counterpoint to the sweetness of the Mountain Dew. Just a sprinkle when served. A little goes a long way!

Ham chunks and I love you just found you and thank you for your support to our men and woman that fought for us!!! You remind me so much of my father May he Rest In Peace!! God bless you always 🙏

Congrats on the 2 million Kent! You deserve it! I would love to try this with some roasted bell peppers and maybe try pickled jalapeños instead of the fresh jalapeños.

Hey Ken and Shan CONGRATULATIONS ON 2 MILLION!! What I would add to it would be fire roasted peppers, fire roasted tomatoes, add some eggs sausage ( links/ crumbled) ( scrambled/ Sunnyside up egg) would make a great breakfast scrambler meal. Cubed up some rotisserie chicken this list is endless and now after watching this video and writing this I AM HUNGRY.🤣

That's how my momma taught me to cut onion. God rest her soul. Love your cooking videos. We cook alot alike.. Love from Texas

What an amazing but so simple 1 pot dish for sure! I can't wait to try my hand at it! I am not sure if I would add anything, but definitely will go great with eggs over easy and biscuits-n-gravy. Congratulations on the 2 million mark! 👍

Thank you for the idea of Mt. Dew, I've made this with sprite/lemon lime. I've added Italian Sausage when I realized I didn't have bacon, and I've also added diced tomatoes.

Love your channel Kent and mad props for overhauling your wagon. That is something I would love to see!

Cowboy Kent…We have experimented and added some fire roasted tomatoes. Also add some cheddar jack cheese to the top and get it nice and crispy before serving. As always we love your recipes and always look forward to the next!

congrats on hitting 2 million. I'd finish this off with some freshly chopped chives, always great with any potato dish.

Kent, lovin’ that Sparkling Tator recipe I do! Suggestion: Add 1/2 cup of your barbecue sauce and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Thanks and God Bless!

LOVE these videos!!!! Thank you so very much for sharing your Studebaker and all the stories that go with it!!!! Much love to you all!

Love the russet potatoes. To add along with the dish, I would use a prickly pear catus. Just dice it up and it's another sweet and flavor that would be great. Thanks for helping me cook more.

That looks great Kent! I think adding some good, smoked, country ham would compliment the flavor. Y'all have a great day!

I was giving it a long thought... something I would add without hesitating are carrots and tomatoes. Nothing fancy, but just working good with potatoes and bacon. If you ask me for being more creative, I would add pumpkin to make it even more satisfying. Again a great recipe I will try out soon. :)

Hey Kent, I think breakfast sausage would boost the flavor a little. I am taking boys camping this weekend and this will be one of the dishes we will serve. Thanks for the many ideas to keep meals from being bland or boring.

Great job, as always, Kent. I think adding orange bell pepper would be a nice addition. The color and flavor would be amazing. Awesome recipe though. I will be using this. Your doggies are amazing!

We had these tonight for supper these are awesome.

Hi Kent good day, always a pleasure watch your videos. To that dish I would add a sprinkle top of paprika and a side of good tasty beans with olive oil, that would be a full and complete meal. Keep up the great work and nice day to you, Shannon, the Beagle, the Duke, and the other pups. By the way my favorite video is the one of the "Cowboy Coffee", yep you heard my right!!!!!.

Why not throw in some sliced mushrooms that'd be great

I'm so glad to see you restoring your wagon. Too many people don't do such to their equipment today. Everything is "disposable". Well, my hubs & I are old school, but we don't do that. When our old faithful work pick-up truck was hit in the rear-end when I was sitting @ a light the insurance company wanted to total it because a simple new bed replaces was worth more than the book value of the truck, what did we say??? NOPE! We bought her back on a salvage title fir $200 & built her a beautiful wood bed for less half the cost of a new bed!

Hands down, one of my favorite recipes on KZread cooking.

Fun fact garlic, it is actually more closely related to a leek. In the same way that leeks are milder than onions, elephant garlic is milder, and with a slightly different flavor, than regular garlic - slightly garlicy, but without the sharp, pungent bite.

You looking good mr.rollins happy cooking stay blessed have a bless day

I have so many eggs that I put them in almost everything. A good sunny side up egg would be incredible on the top of that dish! Congratulations on the 2M subscribers!

I've always loved pork loin stuffed with Jalapeno's and Peach preserves or Mango. So, I'm thinking that one of the two would add to the spice of the jalapeno as well as enhance the bacon flavor. Not too much of either and I would recommend adding it towards the end, if not at the end of the cooking process so that it does not dissolve.
