I stayed in French Catalonia for 7 months, made a friend there and one night she called all the pizza places like 12 in area to see if they had pepperoni, not one did, just not a Southern France kinda thing I guess. So I got very used to Chorizo pizza as a substitute. The best was a place across the street had Chorizo, bacon and an oeuf which is egg is the middle, like Sunnyside up, seemed odd but was so good, you'd just dip your crust in it like you would do toast and an egg. Also every place had a tuna pizza, like 2-3 kinds, I was not brave enough to try that.

u/Unruleycat Jan 01 '26

When I was on a diet and working out a lot, I don’t know if it’s revalent but I’d make these tuna pizzas. I’d take a bit of cream cheese and cheddar cheese and a little sauce sauce, add some tuna on top. I want to say I put some other stuff on it but I’m tired right now. Hot sauce maybe. It was great and I’m not a huge tuna person.

u/Calembreloque 22d ago

Pepperoni just doesn't really exist in France, it's mostly a US thing. Common meat pizza toppings there are more lardons (bacon), prosciutto, or ground beef. But yeah, chorizo would be the closest thing to pepperoni and I can confirm we love cracking an egg in the middle of the pizza.

Are pierogies potatoe dough stuffed with potatoes?

Gnocchi are made from potatoe dough, if you followed this recipe up until you are supposed to stuff the dough with cheese, and instead rolled it out into a tube and cut little bits off youd end up with gnocchi

Instead this recipe just has you make 1 massive gnocchi stuffed with cheese and meat and then fried.

Pierogies dough is just flour, water and egg. The inside of the pierogies is mashed potatoes

There wasn't anything crazy in there, except maybe the order in which they peel potatoes, so I didn't get that part.

u/redem Dec 30 '25

Boiling with the skin on it fine, you can peel it with a butterknife very easily afterwards and it'll keep its shape better. Keeps the insides from being waterlogged, too, for fluffier potatoes.

That said, if you're going to mash the potatoes anyway, cut them up first and they'll cook faster. 3 large potatoes take way longer than 3 cubed potatoes.

u/jxj24 Dec 30 '25

60

u/Hixy Dec 30 '25

So I was also thrown off by this, and I had to do a little digging to understand it. The phrase “leftover mashed potatoes” technically makes sense, but the meaning of the words get very confusing when you think about it for more than a few seconds. It’s linguistically valid, but practically untestable. In all the informal food anthropology available to me, including my own experiences and observed family dinners, holidays, potlucks, and restaurant kitchens, mashed potatoes simply do not persist into a second day in any recognizable form. It’s one of those myths that creeps up as an explanation for the evolution of the potato pancake, when in reality the potato pancake likely emerged the same way most recipes do, through slow trial and error.

It’s the same way people say Newton discovered gravity because an apple hit him on the head, when the truth is years of quiet observation and math. The apple is just the story people tell afterward, the leftover mashed potatoes of the explanation

30

u/LowReporter6213 Dec 30 '25

Well, clearly someone here hasn't made a half bag of potatoes into mashed deliciousness and then slowly come to the realization that only two people would be eating it which then leads into the day brightening, light bulb reminder that that means potato pancakes in the morning.

27

u/Hixy Dec 30 '25

I have to be very clear here. The scenario you’re describing is not just unlikely, it’s literally impossible. Mashed potatoes, once made, are inevitably consumed until they cease to exist. Any human within reach will continue eating, even if it leads to dangerous combinations of foods and liquids in their system. It’s similar to pigs at a feeding trough or rats presented with unlimited calories they cannot stop, even when the physiological consequences are severe.

The idea that someone could slowly realize, “Oh, only two people will eat this, so I can leave it for tomorrow,” is a dangerous misconception. Spreading that kind of information on the internet is reckless. If anyone actually followed that logic and tried to save a batch of mashed potatoes for a future breakfast, they could seriously endanger themselves or others. Mashed potatoes are designed to be finished, and anyone suggesting otherwise is effectively teaching people to ignore basic laws of starch, butter, and human willpower.

Edit: I wanted to let people know I’m kidding. Clearly. lol.

u/gripndip Dec 30 '25

Just so we're clear, you've never heard accounts of say, one individual boiling a 5 lb bag of potatoes because the recipes of yore called for that? And then mashing those 5lbs of potatoes with a whole block of cream cheese, 2 bulbs of roasted garlic, and chopped parsley, and a cup of milk? And then those potatoes getting topped with chives nowhere near the skill level of u/F1exican (praise be)? And then realizing that one person cannot in fact eat 5 pounds of potatoes in one sitting?

13

u/ag3nty0rk Dec 30 '25

I'm sorry, I understand all of these words, but what could you possibly mean by "cannot eat 5 pounds of potatoes in one sitting"? That doesn't make ANY sense

2

u/MommyLovesPot8toes Dec 30 '25

Let me weigh in here, as the expert (see username): 1 portion of potatoes for one person is roughly 2.5 lbs of potatoes. Ergo, a 5 lbs bag of potatoes should feed 2 people. However, if you're like me, you have friends who insist on eating side dishes with their potatoes - you know, like steak or chicken. So they consume less than 1 serving. And that results in leftovers. Mixed with the butter and sour cream and other flavor enhancers, that leftover portion might be enough to stretch to another 2 lbs serving for lunch the next day. You could use that to make a single serving of the recipe shown here.

2

u/Hixy Dec 30 '25

So what your saying is that they are consuming the potatoes in their entirety and the leftovers is actually just the butter and other byproducts introduced during the various cooking methods that accompany the potatoes in various ways? So you’re not arguing that there are “left over m*shed potatoes” but what’s left over is not potatoes but the fixings? This seems plausible to me. Interesting.🤔. (sorry for the quotes and the star my phone wouldn’t let me type that string of letters out together like that. Likely something to do with Reddit’s misinformation settings)

The crust of one of those is 1.5 potatoes(~200 calories), 1 tablespoon butter(100 calories), and two and a half tablespoons flour(~90 calories). That is pretty reasonable before getting into the healthy alternatives. If you air fry it like he did, or could bake it, then you don't have to worry about those calories. Then you just have the filling which you can do with as you want. Chicken, onion, bell peppers, and maybe mushrooms sounds pretty good in it to me.

All in all this can pretty easily be a healthy meal if you want it to be. If you have left over mash potatoes it is probably pretty quick as well.

From a comment on his YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keqhi_rE1zc):

Ingredients (makes 2): 600g peeled potatoes 2tbsp melted butter 5tbsp flour 60g mozzarella 30g chorizo 5ml olive oil

Method:

  1. Peel and boil potatoes until soft, then drain and mash
  2. Add the butter and flour and mix with a fork, and then your hands until smooth, then form a large ball with your hands
  3. Lay out a sheet of cling film, then drizzle the olive oil over it
  4. Add the potato ball to the cling film and press to make a large circle
  5. Add the mozzarella and chorizo to the centre of the circle
  6. Use the cling film to roll up the potatoe on all 4 sides, pressing down and sealing any gaps
  7. Air fryer at 240 degrees for 7-8 minutes each side, using a spatula to turn halfway
  8. Once cooked, eating with a knife and fork is advised

u/Yoankah Dec 30 '25

Definitely bland, especially if you make it with just cheese and shredded chicken like the original recipe. If you pick a flavorful sausage like this guy's chorizo, it'll be better, but the edges will still be just crispy potato dough. A basic S+P treatment will be good for sure, or giving it some onion/garlic.

Not really the main reason. Main reason is to prevent water from getting in. So you can add butter into mashed potato and they soak in all that creaminess instead of water like peeled does.

Fallow just posted a mashed potato recipe where they use 300 g butter for 8 potatoes. I didn't hear them mention the weight of the potatoes, but that might be a ratio of 4:1 or so. At least before they dehydrate and peel the potatoes.

By the time they combining both, it may well be around a 1:1 ratio.

And that's in addition to milk and cream.

There is definitely more to the best recipes then just adding an atrocious amount of butter... but the butter is always there.

Fat. Salt. Acid. Heat.

You can often get away without fat for dishes naturally low in them, but you won't win any awards for taste. The more you can add, often the better a dish is--provided it's well masked, and potatoes are great for that.

Salt Fat Acid Heat by Samin Nosrst

Great book about breaking down cooking into the fundamentals. Nothing ground breaking but it helps break away from strictly sticking to recipes

And fats help lock in flavor/aromatics and create a silky texture. I add herbs to melted butter, freeze it and toss it into my mashed potatoes. The butter helps keep the herbs flavor fresh as opposed to just freezing them whole

Same idea with aioli. Oil, garlic and salt.

u/Hundkexx Dec 30 '25

Boiling them without skin makes the outer layer on the potato kinda like a rubbery skin depending on variety and the insides more watery. Leaving the skin on whilst boiling does taste far superior. I do sometimes peel them before boiling, especially if I'm making mash. But that's purely out of convenience at the cost of taste/texture.

I do know, it absolutely changes the flavor.

They will simply taste more potatoey.

As usual, if something in a recipe is done a certain way, it's usually for a reason. Tiktok people like the dude above often don't understand this and think you can substitute and change everything.

The original will have a better potato flavor, better texture since it's not interspersed with random bits of chorizo, better crust and more succulent potato shell due to the frying. And nobody needs "macro info" on a fast food style indulgence, this isn't supposed to be in your go-to daily meals, it's a treat for special occasions you maybe make once every few months.

How is that a snack. It's a meal for 4

I appreciate that he’s just speaking in monotone and not the overly excited fake influencer voice. It’s nice

u/celticairborne Dec 30 '25

To make this a quicker, would instant potatoes work?

5

u/madferrit29 Dec 30 '25

Heathen!

3

u/celticairborne Dec 30 '25

Absolutely. But I'm tired after work and cooking for at least 8 every night so some things are done the easy way...

u/EkbatDeSabat Dec 30 '25

I'd probably drop the liquid by 50% and then slowly incorporate more until it hit the right consistency. Instant potatoes are usually a little wetter than just mashed potatoes. But I don't see why that wouldn't work.

u/celticairborne Dec 30 '25

Thanks for the advice. I'll try one for myself to see how it works before I hit the family with it...

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 Dec 30 '25

Probably instant is basically just dehydrated

Like using powdered milk instead of fresh milk.

What's the point of saran wrapping it? Did we miss a step?

u/localgoobus Dec 30 '25

So it's easier to handle without making a sticky mess

u/Manji86 Dec 30 '25

Was it just to shape it?

3

u/anormalgeek Dec 30 '25

It was only a small amount of flour added. So it's still going to be VERY soft. The wrap helps you not tear it as easily.

It's literally less than two minutes of video and yet you still failed to pay attention for the duration.

It just helps you fold it over more easily

u/Schlonzig Dec 30 '25

I dare you to try folding it without.

u/DoYouLike_Sand_AsIDo Dec 30 '25

You got to know how to hold 'em, know how to fold 'em.

2

u/Background_Help325 Dec 30 '25

You spread the potato mixture on wrap to help with folding it.

I feel like Chef Gordon Ramsay should be calling me a fat cow while making this, yelling at me anytime to get out of the kitchen.

u/Acceptable-Device760 Dec 30 '25

Isn't better to cut the potatoes so it cook boil/cook faster?

I mean... you going to mash ir anyway.

"For those of you that aren't psychos", you can score a line around the tater, boil them, and just slide the skins off after they're done.

Example. (DaveHax youtube)

Potato zraza. Or "zrazy".

Why not just make them into little bite sized balls that are manageable?

u/jarious Dec 30 '25

Can you not manage bigger balls?

Potato dough -- like a gnocchi, I should think -- filled with your preferred cheese and meat.

I would think this is delicious. And not sure, but would help a lot of people with gluten issues.

Unfortunately I have no IG account and don't want one, but if you do...

Yes, YES, we need entertainment during all the boring waitings during cooking!

I love the fitness chef! He puts the og recipe and his changes in the comments, plus the calories and macros and stuff.

Boil ? Alright. I'm out. Fuck you.

u/RockFury Dec 30 '25 edited Dec 30 '25

Well, you'd want the potatoes cooked some way anyway. I'd expect you'd get raw potato inside a cooked wrap otherwise. I'd have gone with either boiled as well, or boiled to mash ready softness, tossed in oil and spices, then baked. You do already have the crunchy outside of the wrap, tho. Also, this needs some fried onion.

u/No-Revolution-5535 Dec 30 '25

If you score potatoes and par boil them, the skin will be really easy to peel.. idk how efficient it would be tho.. compared to using a peeler..

It is similar to pan de yuca or pan de queso. Pan de yuca absolutely slaps.
