The texture of those mashed potatoes changed drastically between being put in the refrigerator and being taken out of the bowl an hour later. They were dry and lumpy going in and smooth and blended as they came out. What happened?
i watched this
ATK,, HELLO,,BRIDGETTE, made spare ribs in a SLOW COKKER, looked really good, then her sauce,,by myself I’ll have to freeze some, thenASHLEY made some potato cakes, I’ll try this

I love potatoes. Only second to rice. Love you ladies. Thank you for sharing. Love and God Bless 🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘
Could this be done with the instant pot using the slow cooker function?
Wow. I got my first Rival CrockPot as a wedding gift in June 1970. It was olive green enamel. 4 qt. I wore it out. I've had several brands and sizes. Mine lives on the counter.
They dont brush apple juice they spray it in a smoker that ir apple vider v
So don't call this mashed potato cakes. That's just wrong….potato cakes are a good thing and well, they aren't perfect nor are they meant to be. This is micromanaging something that ought to be left alone!
"Happy little rib right there…" I am so laughing! Love it!!!!!! Can't wait to make some tomorrow! ♥♥♥ Thanks, girls & ATK! ♥
Yummy
I tried the recipe and they were delicious. Not like smoked ribs, but really nice taste and they looked fantastic!
Is this the secret spice recipe?
Ingredients
2 tsp Garlic powder
3 tbsp Brown sugar, packed
1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
1 tbsp Chili powder
1 tbsp Paprika
3/4 tsp Pepper
3/4 tsp Salt
I could drink all three of those glasses of vinegar. I love vinegar! 🙂
Absolutely YES, YES, YES!!! to both recipes!!!!
Can you do a show about cooking beef ribs for people who don't eat pork
I feel like if I was hungry enough I would eat the ribs at the beginning of the show…
I believe I am making those potato cakes
When you add Ketchup to a BBS you are doing it wrong!
You might as well go out and buy your own favorite BBS and use that! Processed is Processed no matter how you doctor it up!
I do my pulled pork this way. I rub down my 8 lb pork butt, cure it overnight, then throw it in a dry slow cooker. After I drain the fat and liquid that comes out, shred, and add a Carolina vinegar sauce. The pork sucks in that sauce and it's so good.
If you're going to mash your potatoes it's totally unnecessary to add salt to the boiling water. It's a waste because most of the salt gets thrown away when they're drained. You can salt them afterwards and it gets mixed throughout!
I believe Ashley could make a peanut butter sandwich and it would knock your socks off.

Why didn't they defeat the juices from the slow cooker and add them to the sauce?
I only have a round crockpot. Wonder if I can cook one rack with it?
"How to Make the Leftover Favorite, Mashed Potato Cakes" and then you don't use leftover mashed potatoes???
Some suggestion for the ribs: use smoked paprika in the rub, Sprinkle the reserved rub over the ribs after they come out of the slow cooker, sauce dosen't need it.
Just added the ribs and potatoes to dinner for next week…can't wait!
Such a pleasure watching you ladies, so kind, loving & relaxed, keep shining your true nature, enjoy these video's, everything is shown & explained as to why so well – I love your show, Sincerely, a grateful Canadian fan.
I wish we had taste-o-vision when I see those ribs!
Hi!
This show is the funnest
The ladies are a riot! So much better without Kimball… He had gotten way too stodgy!
That's great jobyummy.
Can the potato cakes include cod fish to make cod fish cakes?
Did anyone ask what the "secret spice" was?
You ladies rock!!!!!!
What was the secret spice❕❔❔❕❔❕❔
Why do they use kosher salt as opposed to tablesalt?? 🧂 ❔❔
Can I get Aunty Bridget to make those ribs and ship them over for me…lol! Ashey's Potato cakes…looks delicious!
What about the run off?
Y'all are an absolute joy to watch.
The potato cakes look almost like crab cakes
OMG, these ribs are fantastic! A sure repeat recipe. If I was to use baby backs, how long would you cook them in the slow cooker? Sadly that what I did and cooked them for the recommended time for St Louis so they were literally falling off the bone which I didn't want, but the flavor was to die for! Thank you. Debbie
Oh, I must of missed this the first time but it popped up on my menu today. Great timing!!!! YUM!!!!
Doing my ribs in the slow cooker his way has been a game changer for my rib dinners!!! Thank you!
