Hi everyone,

I wanted to post up the steps I took to make my Scrambled potato protein.

I have used a masticating juicer which works brilliantly.

My masticating juicer. Does the job just fine!

Waste on the left and mostly protein on the right. I didnt peel the potatoes but maybe I should have done.

This is the protein and you can clearly see the remaining white starch settling at the bottom of the container. It has the consistency of very thick glue.

I used a spoon to get the protein less the remaining starch into a separate bowl. You can see that the starch has separated even more. This only took a few minutes to get to that level of separation.

In the pan!

Cooking nicely

Adding stock (Optional of course!)

Hi Ami, You are welcome :):

Hi Gamestopdorito,

Pretty much all of it. In a ray peat interview he said, and I paraphrase "The potato protein soup is like egg white protein but a lot higher in quality" In other words the juice is protein and water, a very high percentage of protein.

I thought it tasted alright. I will use it to make soups with the stock in the future.

A beautiful pictorial voyage down potato soup lane!

You know, I tried it with the peel on, like you.
I was a little bummed by the brown color resulting.
I see you have some of that too.

I guess it looked a little dirty...even though it probably wasn't.
But...probably is a staining from the peels...which also kinda bummed me:
after all, the peel is the part that's supposed to have the bad stuff in it.
(I know I'm dazzling in my precision here! :oops: )

Overall, I'm still a bit staggered by the total tonnage of potatoes needed
to eak out a rather underwhelming amount of starch free, fiber free, peel free juice.
Do you ever feel that way?

The combo of broth with potato extract is a natural--gonna try that!
And I bet another cool variation would be to add a lot of cheese and perhaps some onion.

Hi Narouz,

Yes you are right. You do need a bucket load (Literally) of potatoes to get a really good amount of soup but I think its worth it. Just a small amount a day, say a cupful in my opinion will have a benefit. It definitely makes my gut feel good and an hour later I feel very calm and warm. I agree that it did have a brown tinge which may not have been ideal and am now peeling when I make it.

Hi Kiran,

Any juicer will do, masticating of centrifugal (I have a masticating juicer which works very well) - The important part is letting the juice sit for long enough afterwards for the starch to settle at the bottom. I separate twice to ensure I have minimised the starch.

Here is to plenty of potato protein soup over the holidays.
