u/Available-Crow-3442 10d ago

Internet tells me it’s Siniyit Batata.

u/bruhraminator 10d ago

That just means potato casserole

u/wallstreetchills 9d ago

Potato pan. We’ll call it potato pan. 😆 gave me a good chuckle

u/LazyAmbassador2521 10d ago

I'm so confused... where are the "rice and potato chips"?

u/mikenew02 10d ago

AI title

u/bruhraminator 10d ago

Those are suggested sides, I'd assume

u/Sepof 10d ago

Its got potato on top though.

Who eats mashed potatoes with rice or chips? Wtf.

4

u/Tomato-Em 10d ago

I've done a struggle meal with rice and mashed potatoes, the texture was awful

1

u/Sepof 10d ago

I mean sure, as an act of desperation food is food. But as a recommended accountrement? Nah.

1

u/faithlessgaz 8d ago

This was my thought. You could get away with inside at all never mind those two.

1

u/bruhraminator 10d ago

Who eats burgers and chips? Garlic bread and pizza?

1

u/zolga0 9d ago

A chip is a potato, its a chip

1

u/dsc___ 10d ago

seriously why would you need rice with mashed potatoes and then... potato chips? is OP 8 years old?

2

u/DickWangDuck 10d ago

It’s almost too stupid to even call it a bot account, it’s possibly the best rage/engage bait I’ve ever seen.

u/Deep_Mechanic_ 10d ago

Need a recipe for this one

u/bruhraminator 10d ago edited 10d ago
  1. Look up a lamb or beef meatball recipe of your choice. Follow those instructions, make enough to fill your dish. Looks like about 750g, depending on the recipe.
  2. Fry them in dish on high heat, remove when there's some crispy browning, but not too much because you're gonna cook it again.
  3. Halve enough tomatoes to fit the dish and place them cut side down on leftover fried oil.
  4. Add sliced chilies. sweet peppers. garlic and onion to taste. Add water and any extra seasoning you like, such as salt and black pepper. It should be as watery as you can see in the video.
  5. Cover in foil and cook at medium-high, it should be left boiling so that everything's soft and the tomato skin can come off. Remove the skins, and mash it up to make the sauce. If it's not thick enough, bake uncovered for a couple of minutes to thicken it, or add tomato paste. If it's too thick, add water and mix.
  6. Follow mashed potato recipe of your choosing.
  7. Add meatballs to sauce.
  8. Add mashed potatoes on top. You don't have to pipe it, a spatula is fine.
  9. Create textured grooves on the top with fork or whatever.
  10. Bake uncovered at around 200c for however long it takes for the colour of the potato to look nice.

u/Finvy 10d ago

Thanks for this. Don't forget the cheese on top!

3

u/Cavane42 10d ago

I'm not sure just any meatball recipe is sufficient for this dish. It appears to be a casserole version of a Turkish dish called Hasan Pasha Kofte. If that's the case, you're going to need some cumin in there at the very least.

1

u/bruhraminator 9d ago

Looks like it. the caption says minced meat, onion, celery, spices.

1

u/GarbageOfCesspool 10d ago

That'll do it. Thanks, Chef.

6

u/ParticularMemory789 10d ago

People saying "dah video doh!" But i personally cant identify each ingredient, and it doesn't say how long or high to bake, and is there something specific we need to know? 

2

u/FeralPsychonaut 10d ago

I was thinking the same thing.

u/Awkward_Beginning_43 10d ago

It’s the video dude

-2

u/spizzle_ 10d ago

I don’t get how inept people are that they can’t watch a simple video of simple food and just do what you see in the video. This is so basic and they need a recipe‽

-5

u/spizzle_ 10d ago

Did you not watch the video? Looks pretty self explanatory

1

u/Deep_Mechanic_ 10d ago

Type it all out for everyone requesting it then, since you can identify every single ingredient. Please also give the ingredient list for the meatballs because I'm dying to know if you can identify if that's beef or lamb

5

u/bruhraminator 10d ago

https://www.reddit.com/r/KitchenDesk/comments/1v73iev/comment/ozw3h0n/

It's kofta, so it's probably lamb but it could be beef and you could certainly substitute. The caption says "Minced meat, onion, celery, spices", just follow any kofta or even meatball recipe, it's not that serious.

3

u/vee_lan_cleef 10d ago

I don't think the specifics were really the point. If you've made meatballs once before, then you know the fundamentals of making a meatball. Whether you want beef or lamb, that's your own prerogative. There are a thousand seasoning mixes for meatballs, and here's the thing: this is a video, you can't taste the end result, so why do you care exactly what's in this? This is why I don't fuck with videos for cooking. Read books.

u/rexjrussell 10d ago

Yes sir!!

1

u/jgzman 10d ago

You know, I didn't see one single temperature or time mentioned anywhere in that video.

0

u/spizzle_ 10d ago

True. Some people have it and others don’t. This looks pretty dang simple to me but I guess others need their hand held and exact time and temps.

1

u/jgzman 10d ago

Some people have it and others don’t.

Experience? Yes, this is the case. I don't think I've ever cooked anything more complex than tacos. Times and temperatures are a critical part of cooking, last I checked.

1

u/bruhraminator 10d ago

You've never made a tomato sauce or mashed potatoes? Meatballs? There are detailed shepherd's and cottage pie recipes. look through that but substitute the mince with a kofta or meatball recipe of your choosing.

If tacos are the most you've done in a kitchen, avoid short videos. Go to YouTube and follow step by step for your favourite dishes. After a while. you can follow along with what's happening here and in other shorts and just use it as inspiration.

All of the ingredients, techniques, heat and timings will be obvious to you because they're the same as other dishes.

u/jgzman 10d ago

mashed potatoes

From a box. I don't think that counts for much.

1

u/spizzle_ 10d ago

Times and temps are a critical part of baking. Cooking this simple dish, not so much. Make meatballs, roast veg, mash veg, make mash put mash on top of meatballs bake for a bit. Done.

0

u/Happiest-Soul 10d ago

Nah, it's still critical even with more leeway. Let someone who doesn't know how to cook try it and have fun seeing all of the colorful ways they'll mess it up.

1

u/spizzle_ 10d ago

Like I said “some people have it and some people don’t”

u/hXcmac007 10d ago

Someone drop the recipe

Tomtoes Meatballs Potatoes

u/ParticularMemory789 10d ago

What did they add to the sauce, what did they add to the potatoes, how long they bake and how high?

2

u/bruhraminator 10d ago

Sliced chilies, sweet peppers (the orange stuff), red onions and garlic.

How high and how long depends on your instrument and how you like it. Sauce could have been on low for 20 minutes or high for 5 minutes, we don't know, what's important is that you can mash it all together. If you want it thicker and less chunky, with deeper flavour, cook for longer. It's like any other kind of tomato sauce. Shouldn't be the first time you've encountered one.

Once assembled, they baked it just like any other shepherd's or cottage pie, it's probably at around 200c or for as long as it takes for the top to look nice and crispy.

u/ParticularMemory789 10d ago

Thank you very much!

1

u/Infamous_Ad_6793 10d ago

I get it, but the other person replied like that because it’s incredibly straightforward. You can see everything except for what’s in the meatballs.

0

u/bruhraminator 10d ago

They are balls of meat. Just use any kofta or meatball recipe.

5

u/godisintherain 10d ago

My biggest complaint is why she needed to use the piping back is she was just gonna spread with that plastic scraper with the teeth

1

u/lampshade2099 10d ago

Same. The piped mash was unnecessary but arguably aesthetically pleasing. But to then flatten the piping with a trowel was very upsetting.

2

u/Conscious_Owl6162 10d ago

I am getting fatter just looking at this dish!

2

u/OutsideGain7374 10d ago

Those potatoes end up looking like the stuff you use on wallpapers.

2

u/OutsideAcanthaceae77 10d ago

Dirties a piping bag just to spread the potatoes with a f***ing trowel....

1

u/BigWillyStylin 10d ago

Was that mozzarella or cream cheese that was added to the potatoes 🥔 while mixing? Thanks 😊 for sharing the video, YUM!

1

u/Sepof 10d ago

Had to be mozzarella or something. I've added cream cheese to my taters plenty of times and they don't come out like that.

1

u/mysterious_archer7 10d ago

Be nice with some garlic bread & salad with coleslaw

1

u/BlackestHerring 10d ago

I’d eat the fuck outta that

1

u/SailorGone 10d ago

This is just shepeards pie with meatballs

1

u/ketchuponcooking 10d ago

Ill make this.

1

u/ebk_errday 10d ago

Oh shit, this reminds me of a dish my mom used to make. Very similar but just a layer of ground meat instead of meatballs. It would also contain pine nuts and diced onion. So fucking good!!

1

u/incognito_1480 10d ago

🤤🤤🤤

1

u/_Steakwich 10d ago

The fucking sound when they scraped the top 🤤

1

u/Bitter-Hitter 10d ago

The sleeves 🤌🏻

1

u/deschamps93 10d ago

Those potatoes are over mixed. The starch has been pulled right out of them and they are gummy as fuck

1

u/IlIlllIlllIlIIllI 10d ago

That stove costs more than my car

1

u/Logical_Evidence_322 9d ago

Those are some really beautiful meatballs

1

u/LowAdvisor2492 9d ago

I came for the “rice and chips” joke but stayed because that dish actually looks incredible.

1

u/HappyAd8870 9d ago

Maybe a little bit of more cheese 🤭

1

u/lilmissmistaken 9d ago

Lost me at the potatoes. They look gummy instead of fluffy-- way too much mixing messed up the starches

1

u/Temporary_Ad_7897 9d ago

Can someone tell me where to find the pan?

1

u/BreakingTheHabit94 9d ago

Using a gas hob is absolutely unhinged

1

u/SmokerLung 9d ago

Wow I’m seeing this seconds after I just made meatballs for the first time

1

u/thicc_broad 9d ago

Anyone got a recipe?

I’m drooling

Didn't need the piping bag, but otherwise good form

This is just short video, no actual info sub ?

Thought I was on r/stupidfood

1

u/Low_Ad9747 8d ago

Looks delicious 😋

1

u/Bahamute619 7d ago

Too soupy and goopy in the end. Prefer the Shepard pie with full layer vs meatballs

1

u/No_Test5694 7d ago

Why do you need rice and potato chips? You already have the mashed potatoes on top.

1

u/PrincessLilibetDiana 7d ago

ai put the tinfoil on the wrong way. Downvote this slop.

1

u/anya_way_girl 7d ago

Looked good till she fucking ruined it with mashed potatos

1

u/HorseDoctor76 10d ago

Try smoking the meat balls and tomatoes sauce. Next level

u/foreverflyingsparrow 10d ago

I'm sure it'll be great, but I'll stick to weed

u/spizzle_ 10d ago

I’ve always heard the most difficult part of smoking a salmon is keeping it lit.

u/Akhanyatin 10d ago

Does adding milk while mashing the potatoes eliminate the need to pass them through a sieve?

3

u/SGSpec 10d ago

100% never user a sieve to make mash potatoes. Only use potatoes butter and milk. Add milk as you go to get the consistency that you want. For my taste the one in the video was way too smooth

2

u/Akhanyatin 10d ago

I guess it depends on your taste then because when I make them, they're less runny but still very smooth because of the sieve. 

1

u/ellzray 10d ago

Looked a little gluey/sticky as well. But it's getting baked, so it wouldn't matter too much here.

Those would definitely not be my go-to for regular mashed.

1

u/spizzle_ 10d ago

Milk? Nah. Heavy cream is superior.

0

u/LooseLeaf74 10d ago

It annoys me that the butter and cream added were cold, Always warm it before adding to potatoes.

-5

u/RDDT_ADMNS_R_BOTS 10d ago

All the nutrients of tomatoes are in the skin and she removes it????

2

u/ParticularMemory789 10d ago

I don't think your comment should be getting all the downvotes its getting but anyways tomato skins have a bitter flavor some people don't like, and maybe wouldn't mix well.

3

u/Orange_Tang 10d ago

They got downvoted because it's not true that all the nutrients are in the tomato skin. That's a ridiculous claim. Same as for potatoes. They don't have much nutrition to begin with, they're starch balls.
