CHEFS vs TIKTOK - How to Make the BEST Dauphinoise Potatoes?? | Sorted Food 

Yup, she's a bad influence!

I think Poppy just has a dirty mind because i only thought it was an innuendo when she started laughing lol

whoever edited the video, deliberately cut after the word "tight", and "creamed up" 😂 But Ben is so pure, his mind just never goes there I guess

@@SortedFood Is she a bad influence on Ben? I rather think it's the other way around!

It is the noise you want though…

Eh, we can still blame him. As James once said to Jamie "It's often you, it's mostly you".

We're glad you're enjoying it :)

I was sitting here thinking the exact same thing. I am already doing mashed and roasted potatoes, I am thinking I may have to do a mix up of thee two as well.

I'm actually just making that 🤣🤣

@@krejzidukson let us know how it comes out

Honestly, a mix of the two would definitely be what I'd cook on a regular basis. An infused cream mix with the hasslebacked potato arrangement, and add in all that cheese and bacon? Yes please!

I agree. The Ebbers version is so much better looking, but apparently the taste is better in the other one.

@@MrMartinSchou Ben's version, while looking much more interesting, strikes me as a side dish, whereas Mike's seems to be something you could eat by itself. Add the cheese and bacon from Mike's to Ben's and yum!

I was thinking the same thing, and very much had the reaction of that meme: "Both?" "Both." "Both." "Both is good."

@@Michael75579 IDK about others but I wouldn't be able to eat much of that. To much fat, salt and oil. Not speaking from unhealthy perspective, my palette just can't take too much.

This has been me with the entire series so far... the fusion would be so good on all of them! D:

It was pretty good lookin' huh?

I really hope she joins on a permanent basis! She is so fun!

yes much better than James

@UCPpYgG1qBE7riy-NZCXWyAQ Don’t be a dickhead.

@@jemmaj2919 I still miss James. Its not that i dislike Poppy, but i find her laughing a bit annoying. Also i think she is put too much on a pedestal by the guys to be honest, getting the main seat every time she is on and the camera on her every time she cracks up. I do really like the two cupcake ladies a lot though. Just my opinion and i guess im in the minority.

@@ikke78ikke im fully on your side james was just so much more "balanced??" idk how to describe it

I agree. I didn't really understand WHY the TikTok dish won.

@@iraelliott1191 exactly . Also I feel like they all really wanted to try it and give their opinions but they were just trying to be polite and wait 😅😅 if James had been the judge they would have all been trying it immediately and been more vocal about whether they agree or not haha 😂

@@iraelliott1191 I'm pretty sure the tiktok dish was like a down home US bacon mac & cheese. Gooey, rich, salty, soul food. It's like food crack 😆 The other was absolutely beautiful, I'm sure of it. But the herbs, cream, and lemon peel were meant to dance around your taste buds like a symphony, not smack you into a food coma.

@@bodyofhope you could be a food writer 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

i mean that is the noise you want tho, you know for sure whoever you made a dish for loves it when that is the only response you get

Ready for some controversy? Just add beef fat or bacon fat and you’ll ‘win’. It’s kinda silly, really.

because Poppy is clearly biased and does not want to get hated on by Tik-Tok trolls so she sides with them. However, I disagree with her, since Ben's dish was so more appealing and had more texture, flavor, and looked more stunning than Mike's. The obvious win for Ebbers has been taken away by a judge that is afraid of some children saying mean things to her on the internet...

So clearly humorous!

@@nickdelange4425 Someone who hasn't eaten either dish thinks they know better than a professional chef. Pipe down.

@@nickdelange4425pipe down kid, if you want to get technical Ben’s doesn’t even meet the spec

P8p0ipipuìulp

They can’t let us down now, my soul can’t take it 🥺

they said they'll have a video every friday during november and a little into december

@@Erdnussbuttertoast not good enough. They now need to have a video every Friday until the end of time. Which, if we are being honest, isn’t likely to be all that long.

@@dgc1243 And eating creamy potatoes until the end of time is how I'm happy to go out

Love me some Pomme Anna. In my experience it's deceptively hard to get it to form that cake so it'd be a potentially exciting watch

@@rnglillian8081 in my experience making them the easiest way to do it is in miniature, i use a muffin pan to make multiple little individual ones in one go, instead of doing one giant one, also you have to make sure to slice them evenly, i like using a mandolin over a bowl of acid water, (use lemon or lime juice, the citric acid helps, its a classic "secret industry" method for making amazing taters, try it if you haven't, citric acid makes loads of things taste better and fast food companies even add it to their oil to make everything they fry taste better.) to prevent browning, and draw the starch to the surface, but then you have to pat EVERY slice dry before seasoning and layering, because the excess water prevents the butter from doing its job, and also takes essential starch out of the layers, and into the pan, making a nasty almost "pasta water" like residue if you don't pat dry the tater slices.

100% agree

Yup. Looks tasty, but it isn't dauph

Except neither of them were dauphinois, Ben did not peel or layer his, Mike pre cooked, I know it's not the correct series but they are both FAILS

Not sure you understand what the dish is mate, Dauphinoise Potatoes literally means scalloped potatoes and that is exactly what mike made. Ben was the one who didn't follow the brief by putting them vertical instead of laying them down.

@@Ishlacorrin I agree however as Mike pre cooked the potatoes they were therefore not dauphinois. They were the closest to the brief though, I don't know what Ben made, it looked like a potato pie topped with potato. The top would be burnt and the bottom just cooked

how is it vegetarian friendly ? its full of milk

@@firstname4337 you're confusing vegetarian with vegan

*Italy and spain has entered the chat

Same. Traditional is for boring losers who dont know how to invent or create in the kitchen and tbh, thats their loss, not mine

Well, there are benefits to cooking by the “traditional” way, i.e. you can almost never cheat the taste & smokiness of anything that’s charcoal or wood grilled (unless using a smoke gun). But agreeably, there will always be room for improvement for any recipes.

The thing is Mike's is definitely not potato dauphinoise, it's a potato gratin. Which is fine, nothing wrong with that as a dish and I'm not surprised it's tastier because it has more stuff, but we already have a word for it, no need to try and call it something it's not.

@@FrostedCreations Good point. Making carbonara with chili some added cream might be delicious but its not a carbonara anymore.

Agreed. The Tiktok version is basically US soul food bacon & cheese but with potatoes... and that's a good thing, but nothing like Ben's.

yeah but Mike never tried to claim it as a traditional version of the dish - Jamie went straight for "I'm making a traditional paella and then I'm turning it into a burrito"

@@Fyreflier & then proceeded to not make a traditional paella.

@@Fyreflier yeah you’re right about that.

Tbf, it wasn't the question of it being traditional that was the issue, it was the conflation of spanish and mexican cuisine. Paella doesn't belong in a burrito not because it's not traditional, but because it isn't even the same country/culture

@@tedweird That bit's unfair, though. Fusion cuisines have been a thing for ages, & he never claimed that burritos & paella came from the same culture.

Do you want to kill my liver?!?

Everyone would be on the floor by halfway through. 😄

I was going to say the same! We need a hybrid 😂

I will definitely try s hybrid of this.

This would be an interesting battle!

I've had dauphinoise once when I was like 12 visiting the UK. I'm now in my 40s and fondly remember that dish, in fact, that memory brought me here today. Having eaten many a scalloped potato, I assure you they are nothing alike and you would be doing yourself a disservice to write this dish off as scalloped potatoes. Find a good recipe and see for yourself.

I make mine like Mike does but call it scalloped potatoes.

Really?

@@SortedFood really. Mike just needs to get swole to complete the illusion.

Nah. The biceps don't lie.

@@oon-huing1729 Fair enough, I think it's the white shirt that made him look stronger

But she must change her hair. It's everywere. She should get it all out of the face/out of the way.

do you put the potatoes in raw?

@@KawaiiCoverGirl yes. But fairly thin sliced.

Ah, we do something similar. The potatoes will vary (depends on what's the best deal), and we usually use onion (or whatever onion-y thing we have to hand). Then we add herbs and garlic, maybe a small amount of dried chili, and nutmeg (and your basic s&p, of course), and then the rest is as you said. In the summer, when you'd want something lighter, we take the same layered potato and onion mixture, but this time we do it in a foil pouch on the barbecue without the cream and cheese, just a little olive oil.

whether or not to peel potatoes mostly has to do with the type of potato rather than the method or dish you're cooking

In the UK potatoes are sold by variety but the packages normally have "starchy and good for mash" or whatever on them.

I want to see the lads have a go at Dampfnudeln, that could become very entertaining!

Sorry for the ignorance but can you recommend a few German dishes? The only thing I've made before was an Apple Strudel but I believe that's Austrian in origin

@@ajorngjdonaydbr yes, you're right, apple strudle is Austrian. Some great german dishes are Currywurst (Bratwurst with a tomato sauce and curry), Knödel in all forms (idk how to really describe them. It's dough, made from potatoes, bread rolls, pretzels or other things and then poached in water), Frankfurter green sauce (herby sauce), eggs in mustard sauce, lentils and spätzle (spätzle are kind of like noodles, just with way more eggs in the dough), Käsespätzle (i would describe that as mac and cheese made with spätzle), Schupfnudeln (gnocchis in a different shape, in my family we usually eat them with apple purree, but savory is also delicious), and in the north we also eat a lot of fish and/or crabs in breadrolls:)

@@sophiemuhleck8190 ah yes I've had Bratwurst and Currywurst before, loved both

You know you're on the internet, right?

Sort of. Dauphinoise is an old school French dish and such isn’t messed with much. In a classical French kitchen you wouldn’t see either of the dishes made today, and really it’s just 4 or 5 ingredients: potatoes, cream, maybe milk, butter and a touch of garlic. Scalloped potatoes, as I understand them, don’t have that very French prescriptivist history and so some people add herbs, some add a little cheese, some add onion. I think what defines scalloped potatoes is the layering of evenly sliced potatoes, so it’s more of a general category. I’d say that traditional dauphinois are a form of scalloped potato, but not all scalloped potato dishes would be a traditional dauphinois. Neither of these dishes are a classical example of dauphinois, and Mike’s isn’t even a dauphinois dish at all, as the addition of cheese makes it a potato gratin by definition, so that makes it all a little more confusing. Hope this helps!

if i remember well, i think it is? - solanin?? but i dont remember that if it goes through the heating process it is ok or it was that you would need eat a lot of potatoes like that to harm you

Only poisonous if the potato starts to turn green and blooms, just don’t leave them in the sun and you’re all good. Most of the nutrients and fiber comes from the skin

Only the green layer of sprouting potatoes is toxic. Most of the vitamins are in the skin. ❤

well you were lied to.

I was taught that potato peels are amazing but that sweet potato peels are never eaten and are disgusting. When I point out sweet potato fries, now that I know better, all they respond with is "but that is different and not that tasty".

Only you are worried about her being too energetic mate. She’s epic

@@caramac6382 Far too energetic. I’d have to tell her to calm down after being in a room with her for 2 minutes.

@@caramac6382 Wow, thank for letting me know what my opinion is. So very generous of you. Despite being completely wrong I do wish you all the best with your random mind reading arrogance. For future reference perhaps it would be a good idea to actually read and understand a comment before baselessly deciding what someone else is thinking.

Chill out love, making multiple comments 😂
