0:22
ters there's
0:25
Thomas one of the main ingredients it's
0:28
This is a potato
0:30
and ground beef it's grass fed
0:34
first thing we're gonna do get these
0:36
potatoes going scrub off four to five
0:40
medium potatoes and I got Thomas doing
0:43
that job what do we got over there well
0:46
here's four these are rusted potatoes i
0:50
think I'm going to use six cuz these are
0:52
pretty small see how small thomas is
0:54
gonna give these a good scrub
0:58
because we're gonna leave the skins on
1:00
heck yeah after you scrub a dubdub your
1:05
potatoes we're going to slice them now
1:07
Thomas is getting a large bowl of water
1:12
ready we're going to take a mandolin to
1:15
slice our potatoes unless you're really
1:18
good with a knife you can get those
1:20
quarter inch circles we're going to use
1:23
a mandolin you want about a/4 inch slice
1:27
on these potatoes that way they cook
1:29
nice and even throughout the dish i
1:31
ain't going to lie I'm a little scared
1:33
if you have a glove this is a kitchen
1:35
glove great for cutting things or if you
1:39
have that guard to hold your potato on
1:41
there and do that you would use this
1:43
kind of when you get about halfway
1:44
through the potato we'll show you both
1:47
ways okay that's the slice right there
1:50
now this is the glove that Thomas is
1:52
using
1:54
yeah it's like chain mail it's cut
1:57
resistant
2:01
thomas made this recipe when he first
2:03
knew me it's a really good recipe you
2:06
guys okay we're at the end of the
2:08
potatoes we're going to set these aside
2:11
and then we're going to start our ground
2:13
beef mixture when I was a kid I would
2:16
eat raw potato who else has done that
2:19
not me now we're going to make the
2:21
ground beef mixture we've got a medium
2:24
skillet we're going to put it on a
2:25
mediumigh
2:27
heat and then we're going to add in one
2:30
tablespoon of cooking
2:32
oil and then we're going to sauté down
2:35
one yellow onion that I diced up now I
2:38
did this off camera and some of y'all
2:41
could probably appreciate that but some
2:44
people like to watch me chop things too
2:46
i like to watch you chop add it on in
2:51
oh yeah that's going to be good amount
2:52
of onion give it a little seasoning with
2:54
some
2:56
salt and some black
2:58
pepper we're going to soften those down
3:01

3:07
this we got some nice color going on
3:09
with these onions they're definitely
3:11
getting softened down we're going to add
3:13
one pound of ground beef to it and start
3:15
breaking that up i'll let Thomas chop
3:18
that up i know he wants to
3:21
yeah I do got to wash my hands though
3:26
there's
3:27
Bailey hello little Bailey the ground
3:30
beef is nice and browned up and the
3:32
onions are softened thomas did a great
3:34
job with that we're going to scoot
3:37
everything off to the side and then we
3:38
are going to drain off any excess grease
3:40
that we have in there and then you can
3:42
just use that and just push it around
3:45

4:19
teaspoon we're going to add
4:21
in half a teaspoon of smoked
4:25
paprika is that right yep
4:29
i like smoked paprika yeah we've built
4:31
on that through the years it's got a
4:33
nice smokiness to it almost like you're
4:36
cooking this outside almost there we go
4:40
oh man as soon as it hit you could smell
4:42

4:53
teaspoon and then 1/4 teaspoon of some
4:56
salt once we get all the seasonings
4:59
mixed in and coated onto that ground
5:01
beef we're just going to turn this off
5:03
and this layer is done now we're going
5:05
to be using a 9 by13 and Thomas is going
5:08
to spray it with some cooking oil you
5:11
can grease it you can butter it for more
5:14
flavor whatever you want to do we're
5:16
just going to use our handy dandy
5:17
sprayer here we have avocado oil in it
5:20
and we use it for
5:23
everything now he's going to layer
5:26
potatoes on the bottom oh he's making
5:28
some nice rose there mhm
5:33
if you have extra potatoes left over you
5:36
can just fry them up mhm put them in the
5:38
refrigerator and then make them in the
5:40
morning with eggs eggs yeah now what
5:43
we're going to do is put about onethird
5:45
of the meat mixture right on top of the
5:48
potatoes scatter it
5:52
around cheese cheese about oneird of the
5:56
cheese and while he's sprinkling that on
5:58
there I'm going to show you what we got
6:00
in here whatever we had left over in the
6:02
refrigerator for anything yeah we got
6:04
some shredded cheddar cheese mozzarella
6:07
cheese and then we also have white aged
6:11
cheddar cheese so whatever you have in
6:14
the refrigerator that you want to get
6:15
rid of you'll need one and 1/2 cups half
6:17
a cup for each layer more ters more ters
6:20
lay them on there more ters
6:26
all right and then when we do that
6:28
what's the next step more more meat meat
6:33
all right cheese
6:36
more cheese half of that half of that
6:40
cheese and then we'll go in with some
6:42
more
6:45
potatoes if you just layer them like
6:47
this keeps them kind of from sticking
6:50
and then we'll put the rest of the meat
6:52
on top of the potatoes here i'm taking
6:55
my union break
6:59
the meat the meat you guys
7:04
there we go all
7:07
right then we're going to top it with
7:09
the cheese we still got something we got
7:11

7:14
moisture to this dish and add more
7:16
flavor
7:20
cleaned out the cheese bin we did all
7:23
right now what we got what you got half
7:28
a cup of beef broth and 1/4 cup of milk
7:31

7:34
now y'all when I originally made this I
7:37
used dark beer because I didn't have
7:38
beef broth we'll give that a mix and
7:40
then Thomas is going to slowly pour that
7:44
over everything just the old Yep just
7:48
get it where you can get it and then I'm
7:50
going to get the
7:51
foil all right we're going to cover this
7:54
with foil i've got my oven preheated at
7:58
375° now he bakes this for when it's
8:01
done just check your ters then we take
8:04
the foil off put some Parmesan cheese
8:08
across the top of it put back in the
8:10
oven for another 10 or so minutes until
8:14
our potatoes are nice and tender the
8:17
cheese is all melted and it's kind of
8:18
golden brown on the top mhm m we're
8:22

that way the steam stays inside and
8:38
cooks the
8:39
potatoes going to pull the foil

potatoes are done okay I've pulled it
9:01
out of the oven it took 20 minutes after
9:04

a little bit of greenery on which is
9:11
some parsley give it a pop of color an
9:14
additional layer all right we're going
9:15
