i made taco bell's spicy potato tacos

please don't be mad at me for disappearing for 4 months hello, welcome, welcome back, thank you for welcoming me back to my own kitchen, it's been a while, I missed you, I was at the supermarket, there was a very long line and Then I decided I was really thirsty so I went to the water section and as I grabbed the first bottle of water and tried to hydrate myself I realized I was in a dream and I couldn't actually make contact with the ground, I was just levitating . in a really horrible way and then everyone looked at me and they were out of

potato

es, so here I am, I've been a little busy the last few months, huh, but I haven't forgotten about you and me.

I know it may seem like it, so if you know, I did mention some things about abandonment that I did. I'm sorry, can we hug him? A handshake. We've done a lot of

potato

videos up to this point and I think this will be the final episode of potato on potato soils because it's time to move on I have other ideas I want to cook other things I went to Japan oh have we talked about that? Oh man I went to Japan it was great I couldn't eat anything so I basically survived on Oni gidi and water so I thought I'd do an episode dedicated to Oni where I would make my own fillings and have a lot of fun with it so that It's what I want to do, among other things, here in the kitchen, so today.

It's our last dad episode at least for this series, okay, join me in canceling this run-on sentence from a YouTube series that has caused a lot of conflict but in the end brought us closer together as one big happy dad family. What we're going to do today is make a copycat of Taco Bell's

spicy

potato

taco

s. We will make it plant-based. We're going to make it in a way that you can eat it, but it's going to be just as delicious, if not more, and you can trust me because I've never tried it, so I know and I have a completely level, unbiased opinion here, so the recipe What I looked for is pretty simple, you need a few ingredients and I'll just write.

Show them here because there aren't that many, there really aren't that many ingredients, you have tortillas. I'm choosing soft flower tortillas in the special gluten-free variety. I have my plant-based C Mayo, perhaps one of my favorite ingredients that I keep. in my house at all times keep this on me, you never know when you need some C Mayo so I always swing around, I have some adobo chiles and upside down adobo chiles and chipotle chiles in adobo in adobo sauce, I say that 10 times fast in Spanish and then I also have some sour cream viif, as well as our two tat skis and our violin cheese, so we're going to start doing really boring things with potatoes like peeling them, so leave it to me, you know, you know. let me let me take care of that and then we'll get together in a few um and make some cool

taco

s we'll start peeling the potatoes and that's it the potatoes are peeled thanks for joining we'll continue next week where we peel other fruits and we Reuse these potato peels to make a completely sustainable and disgusting stylish bag.

Thanks for watching, one last time, okay, you know, according to tradition and the instructions of each potato recipe, we are going to cut our potatoes into small cubes so that they cook properly. otherwise we are going to work with raw potato and believe me you don't want to ever get sick in your life and it doesn't taste like fried potato with laces, if you know what I'm saying, shout L man this. It's not the shape I expected the potato to be. This is the potato lengthwise while I'm cutting them. Let's catch up. You know what you've been doing.

Where were you? How was your Halloween? Did you dress me up too? Actually, that's probably what I sound like when I'm streaming if you stayed in the room. Damn, that scene alone would take out some Victorian kids. Actually, you know what I think when I think of raw potatoes. Victorian kids because that's what. probably what they ate is probably why they were so sickly and tired so if you didn't know and I'm not sure where this is limited to location but Taco Bell has actually been experimenting with more vegan products vegetable, which is such. aw I can't even say it loud enough they had a nacho cheese that was plant based they offered some menu items that were catered to be vegan and just keep doing that man you know what I mean keep doing it we need more of that saving the Earth and eating delicious food at the same time by the way I forgot to put on my apron new apron just dropped apron tour this was given to me by one of you lovely dinks uh I was at twitchcon a few weeks ago I had a little meeting and they went out some amazing people and I received this as a gift and I heard, it's got a cool little sentence in front so maybe stop reading there because if you try to go up and read the other nice little one. words on this apron, you could cry because they are really sweet and sincere messages from my Chatters and I feel very lucky, so let's not talk about it because I don't want to cry, you know, I have a new foundation on a hot day, although it was very cold today In the morning, the new apron just came off anyway, so I do my best to keep these pieces uniform in size so they cook evenly, but we're not really going to cook them anywhere other than a deep pot with super hot oil, we will not boil them.

We don't leave them in water to soften a little, we just cut them, clean them and throw them in the fryer. You know what I mean? If I'm buying different recipes, that is, speaking my language, just throw everything away. in a pot of hot oil and then eat just as the pilgrims intended, let's put all this in a little Sie, you know what a Civ is. Civ is a port of escape and when I played baseball in high school, one of my teammates team used to call me the Civ every time I let a ball go and it was such a violently accurate insult that I've carried it with me to this day, so yeah, that one hurts anyway, if you're a catcher, don't let the ball goes by you, you know what I mean, don't let the ball go by you, otherwise you're going to have to deal with it when you're 30, let's let the kid's skis dry out a little bit and um because because We don't want them wet even a little bit when we fry them because water and oil, although they look like brothers, they don't really agree on things that they would actually be brothers because they don't agree on anything water and oil They are probably brothers because you can't put them together, otherwise they fight, but they're both watery and liquid, you know, and they both taste pretty good.

I love the taste of water. This episode episode is for you. use C Julian water at your local watering hole and hopefully you won't fall and you'll get a 20% refund when you pee later, wait a minute, no, no, no, this is not a survival show, don't drink your Pea talk. chat, let's see the recipe is on copycat.com heat the oil in a deep fryer to 350 ° okay, we haven't done it yet wash and peel the potatoes cut the potatoes half an inch to the C okay, we cut the potatoes rinse the potatoes and we dry them with a paper towel we are doing that, oh we have to make our flour mixture, okay BRB, let's go get some flour, do you know what else is a flour mixture, a bouquet, for That's it, we're in the kitchen, okay, half a cup of flour, oh, me?

I didn't include spices in the ingredients list, sorry, I thought you would know that we are cooking with spices, you know what I mean, it's going to be

spicy

, so we need garlic, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, so We're just going to add some spice blends here to the flour mixture and this is what we're going to coat the potatoes with, oh so much cayenne, that's too much, it's just going to be a little spicier, okay, this is what we do . We're going to coat the potato chips before we fry them because we need some flavor in these puppies, they are the main attraction of these

tacos

okay they need to steal the show and not give it back so we need some greyhound crying noises and a half full teaspoon of garlic and onion powder beautiful, so now we don't have a simple flow, we have delicious tasting flour, you can't see it, you might be able to hear it, there's a little Italian greyhound walking at my feet right now.

Just watching every move we're making, so shout out if you have the same situation, that's our Sue Chef, they go down there. Mine is also very good at trying things and yelling at me in the morning when she wants to wake up. Good job, you'll get some psych potato

tacos

I don't think dogs know what psych means, okay, the flour mixture is all one, I think it's probably time to fry these puppies, you know what I mean? No nonsense, no fuss, okay, cover the potatoes, fry the potatoes, eat the potatoes, okay, I'm going to be very organized and calculated, and you know, aesthetically dry these potatoes, we just need to dry them with some paper towels so it doesn't cause too much of a scene when we drop them in the fryer.

I guess leaving them a little wet is fine because they need to accept the flour mixture and if they are completely dry I feel like that might not work as well. but I don't know what, I know, you know what I mean. I just work here, these potatoes feel pretty dry and I save them for later and we'll bring our super professional measuring SL restaurant style storage kit that's definitely been perfectly clean. and we're going to cover all of this with the flower mixture to get them ready, throw them in there. I suppose using a round container would have been more ideal for the mixing process, but I'm not a mathematician, so I don't know.

I know if you knew that little bit more seasoning oh yeah, this is good, they are very seasoned, by the way, these potatoes are going to be delicious. I hope you have a little time here because we are going to fry them for 10 to 12 minutes. It might be the longest frying session I've ever had. They will feel comfortable in that pot and while that happens we can just watch them become delicious. You know, God, I'm already out of breath. What do we do now? oh, let's get out the heat machine, the heat machine is outside, the pot we're going to fry in is outside, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, it's time, it's time to fry, yes, it's time to fry, let's get hot and oily. and hopefully avoid injury, but if we do get injured, it's okay because the best medicine for a 30 Dee burn is a home

made

imitation spicy potato taco coming soon, have two of these in the morning, okay, we need to hydrate and fill this pot. maybe shoot maybe like a third of the way n like a quarter or an eighth or a 16 or a 30 30 Toth and let's turn this on and cook to many degrees, we may have to do this in batches there are a lot of potatoes, it's like the Rule one for frying potatoes is don't fry too many at once, otherwise the oil cools and then it's the strangest dip you've ever seen.

Plus, these tortillas are going to be too big for a taco. I'm, I'm very new to soft tacos

made

with flower tortillas, like this is huge, right, but it's also too small for a burrito, maybe it's good, let's see, I don't know, I feel like it's probably okay. I was thinking maybe I cut the edges, you know, give it a little haircut. Also, while this is frying, we will have the opportunity to prepare our sauce. We also need lettuce which is in the refrigerator, not shown yet. I have done. this before we're okay oh and limes I didn't get anything out don't care the first cooking video will be easy you guys play the fruit game but anyone here gets 3,000 points yet because I haven't done it at all.

That was close. so this will be for our sauce what do we do look at this wait I'm sorry it was worth it I got a little burned this is really hot we have to get our thermometer wait that don't actually do that that could cause dead pixels on your camera it really shouldn't be doing that yeah don't do that it will also cause dead pixels in your eyes so don't do that either uh let's see 271 oh my god this heated up so fast they're going to be really good actually Taco Bell won't know what hit them because they don't see this, they won't know at all 305 Of the 314 oh damn it's sliding around the edges it heats up faster like the center takes a little time to warm up so sometimes I just I like to take my hand and stir the oil so that it is like a kind of Whirlpool that mixes the heat well.

I think we're going to have to do batches, I think if I do all of them. those potatoes at once let's deal with some cold oil cold oil sounds like a good band name my eyes are up here check our temperatures oh it's 388 it's too hot here we go it's time to cook baby uh what utensil uh this is probably fine Wood is probably fine let's see what the temperature is now yeah it definitely cooled down a little so we made a good call splitting the pee anyway this is going to fry for quite a while wait we need a timer Hey, Google timer. 5 years 12 minutes she's like no really really what do you need I'm tired and let's start cooking or not cooking but let's start making our um delicious sauce chipotle hot sauce is what this is this is a little distracting,could you? calm down man, okay, then we have to blend these peppers.

He says one or two chipotle peppers. I'm going to do three because I'm a rebel. I think I could squash them a little. You know, I could crush them. there and they would be fine, I think I have a Masher Masher. It just matters, oh it's here, oh yeah, if you have a muddler, I think that's what they call this for cocktails. Don't worry, you can use this today, put it on your chipotle peppers and it's also like a cutting board or not , it's like a cast iron skillet, it adds flavor to the BET mortar, so next time you use it in a margarita, say. you're just going to try the chipotle peppers okay this looks good I hope I did it right I don't know it looks horrible so we're also going to need for our sauce four teaspoons of onion powder and four of a teaspoon of garlic powder similar to what we did in the flour mixture, okay, I also need salt and pepper, sorry, this is a little awkward because there's like hot oil between us, but I'm still here with you, you know, there's a literal safety. danger between us but other than that there is no distance it's like it used to be I'm not measuring this that's the right thing I think then we need half a teaspoon of salt which I don't even know if I have here that should do it we need to refill it we need half a cup of sour cream, so let's do it, okay, half a cup seems like the whole damn thing, it's actually literally like the entire container, okay, two teaspoons of freshly squeezed lime, let's just Watch out this lime is being stubborn, or it doesn't have too much juice or he just doesn't want to hang out with us today remember you can always add more lime you can't take it away because I don't buy a delim aier Wow did you ever put too much lime in your food introducing the delim aier is just a guy who will put his fingers all over your food trying to get the file out has a 40% success rate and requires a lot of Maintenance and only eats fish food.

Can I have $300 for lunch? I need to add some mayonnaise, and we'll use our Cy Mayo, since it says four per cup, that seems like a lot, just looking at it, it's probably enough. It actually looks like one of the best AES I've ever tried. made in my life these potatoes look almost ready, I feel like shooting, are they ready? uh-oh oh no, where's the grate? I lost the grate, oh, it's over here. I think so. I feel like these are almost ready. They look like real browns and it says to cook until golden brown, so I'm afraid to overcook them.

I actually like how the chipotle sauce has a little bit of texture to it because I didn't completely mix in the peppers I wrote. so now let's try uh it needs work maybe a little bit of Adobo sauce just needs more J add a little bit of Adobo sauce we'll see maybe that'll be enough um I'm going to use my amazing giant Civ Ladle and I'm going to to knock them out a little bit early yeah , a few minutes before. I felt it was time for them to feel golden enough. Also, this sauce situation could backfire on me because I have a preference for C Mayo, but maybe since it's not Asian. flavor profile we might be shooting ourselves in the potato leg, but there's only one way to find out, I guess it already tastes good, it just needs a little help, okay, the potatoes are screaming for their lives, I don't know if you could hear it, okay?

I'll put the second batch in how long it's been. Can we try these potatoes? Oh, mmm, literally delicious. They are fries. What could go wrong besides maybe a house fire? Let's try this again. The Adobo sauce is so good. I'm going to add more, oh my goodness, I love Adobo sauce, look, I learned how to make the little heart, isn't that how to make it? How surprised would you be if I was here cooking one day and just looked back, let me know? in the comments how quickly would you unsubscribe if I did that and I'll start going to backflips school.

Well, I have to add the last little bit of Adobo sauce because I'm extra and I need just a little bit more spice in this sauce. It tasted a little simple flying in the skies at 32,000 feet, but now it has a little more depth, yeah, of That's what I'm talking about, it's delicious. I also said, "screw the timer for the second batch because I think we can just look at the potatoes, hey, potato, hey, girl, potato, because you look delicious. I was going to say boiled in oil, but don't tell people that were boiled oil, hey Google, stop now and forever oh science, this can of fire, the air is very cold, but the fire is very hot and that is because quotient links are sometimes at the heart of the membrane, the square root, so we needed to clean the area because this Now is our prep place, okay, we'll be preparing our tacos right here We have our little lettuce to wash this because I don't trust the lettuce, so we moved. the potatoes to fry to the second row of potatoes to the back so we can um start preparing our tortilla.

I'm going to put this on an open flame. This is how I like to prepare tortillas and if you don't want a nearby Mexican mother. I yelled at you, don't use a utensil to turn them, do it with your hand. Speaking from experience, a lot of people have actually yelled at me just a couple of times to warm up, it actually helps a lot more with gluten free tortillas because they need help, get help, get help and maybe think about eating some gluten. in your life you have some burns, that looks good, the potatoes look good, I'm going to turn off the heat, okay, the tortilla looks absolutely fine, always remember to turn off the heat, although I don't speak from experience, I just thought you might need it.

It's okay, one thing on the burner at a time, otherwise you forget and then the whole thing catches fire. Hopefully, I'm not dripping oil. Okay, both omelettes are good, now let's do this. Wow, this is hot, even the handle is hot. Too hot to handle the handle. hot to handle perfect golden brown potatoes looks good, my hand might be burning a little, but you know, we have to get the injection age before a beautiful goat cheese is what we say around here and boom, basically it we did, let's start assembling our Taco Bell Spicy Potato Tacos hello welcome to Taco Bell, there's some fire here so again this feels like two big tortillas for one taco, but let's get cooking.

I don't care, I just work here. I'm not going to read the instructions. I'm just starting out, so I'm going to make some aoli, maybe a little more because it's about the sauce, you know, life in general is about the sauce. These tacos are big so they need a good amount of aoli ​​and let's start basting some potatoes with our bare hands because we need them to survive. Oh, the potatoes are making an almost ASMR noise. We'll make some um ched. Oh, that looks good. A little lettuce to cool down. texture and moisture and lastly and more or less we are going to use these two puppies to stay on topic, okay, let's read their jokes, of course, I will, Diablo, always the plan, wait, is there a joke for these or Am I?

It's not funny, I don't get it, okay, little hot sauce, look at these m, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, and then the Diablo on the other one and there we have it, we have our spicy potato tacos Taco Bell ready to enter your mouth. anytime here's a double bite of taco I don't want a taco about it, okay, let's try it, if I try it, oh my God, bro, that's it, oh my God, that's spectacular. Holy, what the hell do I have to say? It's not the sexiest food, it's a little messy on the plate, it doesn't matter, OMG it's so good.

I get a very similar flavor to the heat of the adobo, but it's not overpowering. The potatoes are perfectly crispy and have a pillowy interior. Potatoes are so special. man, oh my god, that's amazing, well, that's amazing. 11 out of 10 definitely need this, even just out of familiarity, most of the time when I make copycat foods like Oreos, La chips, Arby's fries, which were horrible and damn, they taste good, but something about putting it doesn't taste the same Taco Bell brand hot sauce really brings it home and by brings it home I mean brings it to your mouth and then somewhere else afterwards, but we don't have to worry about that we just eat, eat and then live, baby, I just want to eat all of this, this is amazing, oh my god, it's so good because it's good and it's good anyway, now it's time for me to decide if I want to clean up now or never, thank you, hope. you enjoyed watching me make these Taco Bell copycat potato tacos, if you didn't enjoy them, give me exactly one reason below and if it's a valid reason I might delete your comment, just kidding, do whatever you want, but thanks for watching and thanks also for the patience of not posting for a while and then coming back.

I thank you all too and let me know what you know that you might want to see in future cooking videos. I have some ideas simmering on the back burner, so let me. low heat let me cook I'm working on things but I'm happy to be back it feels good it feels great to be back here where I am and uh I really still enjoy making cooking videos so I appreciate you watching them. and tuning in see you next time I promise it won't be in 4 months that's a promise and I've never broken a promise I've never lied or even spoken to another human being in my life So yeah I'll see you next time here on the kitchen or on the stream depending on where you are, I hope you're having a good day and if you're not having a good day, this is what a potato starts off as a piece. of grass and then six little potato chips sprout from the ground and where would we be as a society without potato chips?

So just a little water, a little soil, and patience, and hopefully, your day will turn around like potato chips. Oh my gosh, okay, we'll take our super pressure, so yeah, see you next time.
