Every Way To Cook A Potato (43 Ways) 

you forgot vodka

I’ve learned the 100 folds in a chefs hat are symbolic for the 100 ways a chef can make eggs, can you do 100 ways???

"You're a little much." "You're a little less!" that verbal backhand slap is hilarious

In Poland we have this ashen potatoes, basically once campfire goes out and only embers remain you burry potatoes (some people wrap them in aluminum foil, more traditionally not) into hot ashes on the outer rim of the campfire's remains and after a while you remove them, cut them in half and eat out inside with a spoon (preferably applying some butter and salt while it's still hot) and discard of the charred skin.

Joshua: recipes have to be world wide accepted Also Joshua: Hey lets try a pizza oven potato

What I've noticed in the methods section is that it's kind of unfair that some methods are completely plain while some have plenty of additives. It only makes sense that those win compared to just a regular method that most people will do anyways

You missed caramelized potatoes. A traditional Danish Christmas dish. It's so amazing!

These guys ranking potatoes low for tasting like potatoes is pretty ironic.

Brit here. I didn't really see a "roast potato" in this video. Proper roast potatoes are so good they are universally agreed as the greatest element of a roast dinner, and deserve a voice here.

Josh: does just a plain baked potato nobody would actually eat to make the scoring fair Also josh: makes tator tots by confit-ing and frying the potatoes in duck fat

i dont know if you doing hasselback different in the states, but here in sweden we season it with paprika salt butter and breadcrumbs (often seasoned with herbs) before baking it and it´s appreciated by lots of people

Love these videos. I was inspired and made "deli hash browns" but i added paprika, salt and pepper plus a bit of red pepper flakes pre cook. Made them in butter/olive oil mix. Absolutely tremendous. Thank you for the inspiration.

Honestly? I love these sorts of videos, along with POTATOES. How can you NOT love potatoes? So versatile.

I really loved this video. the one gripe I have is that all of these recipes change significantly based on what type of potato you use. Also, there are a ton more recipes you could use potatoes for. The vegetable/tuber is THE most versatile vegetable in existence imo.

I watched 2 of your videos and immediately bought your cookbook. You teach the way I learn 😊😊

13:00 In France, while making bbq, we always cook potatoes in foil directly on the coal (without the weird wood stick or whatever). So that's actually really something people do (at 66 million of them lol).

You forgot one. Here in Denmark we have something called “Brunede kartofler” which translates to Browned potatoes. It’s where you peel and boil some smaller potatoes first and then kind of caramelize the potatoes in a pan with a bunch of sugar and butter. You should try it. It’s incredibly delicious

20:02 Josh pouting about making instant potatoes was freaking hilarious

Yes, absolutely crucial life information, I will definitely use this in the future.

LOOOOOVING these comprehensive subject based cooking classes. I know its alot of work but man im learning a ton! made delicious truffle fries after your recent frying class!!!!!!!!!! cheers papa

As a Brit I am saddened by the missing of the roast potatoes. Orobably wouldn't win but they're a so good and can be done so many ways

This is the kind of content I live for, bless you sirs, bless you

as a french, from aveyron/auvergne, using gruyere in the aligot is THE error that justifies nuking a whole continent. also in the traditional way it is cooked in huge batches, served at will with grilled pork sausage.

I love that when it comes down to it you can tell what Josh wants to win. The ones he likes the most he adds a LOT more flavor to the recipe. Case in point; the tater tots. With the potato chips it was plain chips with salt. If he wanted them to do better he'd probably make them BBQ chips or something. With the diner style hash browns it was just potato and salt shallow fried to crispiness. What did he do with the tater tots? He confit'd the potatoes and then fried them in duck fat. Of course they are going to be the best. He should have made them as traditional as possible. Shred the potatoes, maybe a bit of egg to hold them together and then fry them. I can guarantee you that they would have gotten lower scores and not gotten first place. Obvious favoritism means this list isn't reliable and only for entertainment reasons.

In Spain there is a very typical dish called "Patatas bravas", which is made with double frying potatoes. The first on low heat and then on high heat. For me it is the best dish that can be made with potatoes (especially with the sauce).

You are my hero for making this video. I love potatoes and can’t wait to try these out!!!!!

Absolutely fantastic video! These take a lot of time and the results are great! What an engaging watch

The thing about Potato Salad, is depending on how it's made, there is a Cream base (Which is what you made) and a Vinegar base, which has an interesting different taste to it.

😂. Oh my gawd. Your new potato dish is slammin. My hubby and I have always enjoy Greek Lemon potatoes, never thought to make tater tot🎉

I dont think mr joshua knows what being poor is fr fr

Literally was having a discussion with my dad on how the potatoes were going to be done for christmas lunch today. Was really wishing i knew more potato dishes. Thanks Joshua!

Professional german chef over here... Loved your technique for the pomme puree, but try cooking your potatoes skin on in heavily salted water with some caraway seeds added and season the final puree with just salt and some freshly grated nutmeg :) a real gamechanger on potatoes!

Maximum Effort guys. Most excellent! 💯

Man, this was a lot of work. Bravo. Deserves a sub.

In Poland we have "kluski leniwe" or "lazy dumplings" - this are boiled potatoes mixed with quark, flour and eggs shaped to look like a rectangle and boiled again served with sugar and fried bread crumbs. They are one of the mos tasty dishes possible :D

Josh: "we are not adding anything because this is about the potatoes".... Also Josh: "add copious amounts of cream, lemon, herbs and cheeeeeeese"

My toes curled watching this im subing

I missed you so much! I’m remember that my dad watched your tiktoks and he said that I reminded him of you. Not only is it an honor, but the affirmation is real

As a greek, I feel represented and seen. Lemon potatoes the greek way are SO underrated and more people should know about them.

Since potatoes with additions were included in the video, such as the twice baked, potato skins, duchess, and potato salad, I'm wondering why poutine wasn't included in the fried category? And no kugel in the baked category? Classics. I know the Brits have already mentioned missing roasted potatoes. Definitely great ways to enjoy the humble spud. This was fun, Josh. Thank you.

this is so amazing!!! subscribed!!

The guy on the left waiting for the chicken💀

You need to baste the hasselbacks with butter as they are cooking in the oven. And at the end finish it of with some breadcrumbs at the top and roast it of. And the cuts should be twice as many, at least!

I would have loved to see a classic Pierogi in this list, it's the best of boiled and fried!

That final dish sounds so delicious that i teared up a little

As a major fan of potatoes in virtually all forms I NEEDED this video.

Great video - I cannot wait to try making some lemon greek potatoes at home. But as a proud Lithuanian and a self proclaimed potato connoisseur, I am dissapointed you did not inlude any potato pie (Kugelis), potato pancakes, boiled potato pancakes (žemaičių blynai), potato sausage (vedarai) or potato dumplings (Cepelinai). YES, US LITHUANIANS, DO LOVE OUR POTATOES

You've missed some amazing staple potato dishes. Like baked wedges, or peeled pan fried potatoes with onion. And went with duck confit deep fried version. No one will ook this more that once-twice a year.

Broiled... "I don't see this doing that well". This made my day.

"One of our rules is this has to be a real potato dish" "Pizza oven potato"

I am not adventurous enough to make the finale dish, but I certainly learned how to improve upon many others that I do make. Thank you, Joshua!

I feel like this should've been don more like the steak episode where we chose the best style and the best toppings etc. separately and make the ultimate dish. Because I think some of these got higher rankings just because they had a lot of stuff in/on them.

You are amazing for this !!!! Classic

Don't know why potatoes here is no mashed without milk butter etc. Only boiled in salted water, dried and mashed really very thoroughly. In polish we just use butter with breadcrumbs (from fried meat in breadcrumbs). really good, not healthy, but tasty.

Josh, in case you didn’t know, there is an actual stir fry potato dish. You Peel the skin, julienne the potatos, and then stir fry with scallions, sichuan peppercorn, and vinegar. Delicious way of making potatos.

I've coal roasted many potatoes before. My tips for having them not burn. #1 (most important) NO FIRE. Red coals. Preferably wood not charcoal. Think hard wood lump coal or just campfire coals. But again. No fire just coals. #2. Oil the potato. Much like baking. Just think of it as primitive baking but you have aluminum foil. #3. Rotate. Not like a rotisserie or anything. Just flip every so often.

You guys say "addictive" instead of "addicting" so you instantly get my respect

Just made the lemon potatoes for the first time tonight. They were amazing.

Kind of surprised that pommes fondant got such a low score, it really is one of my favourite styles of potatoes from the oven. I don't really get the difference between mash and puree though. Over here we just have 'puree' and everyone makes it completely different. I like to add some grainy mustard to mine, elevates it just a little bit and works perfectly with the common old school Dutch food.

I was literally JUST thinking about how I could elevate potato for Christmas. Thanks, Papa Josh ❤

I haven't watched the ton of these, but Vik never ceases to disappoint... I mean surprise me. 😅

The final dish almost brought a tear in my eye

Hasselback potatoes is a Swedish dish, and I am from Sweden. This is how we do it: - use MEDIUM-SIZED or even small potatoes, not mega-sized baking potatoes - you PEEL the potatoes - THIN slices - brush with melted BUTTER, preferably at least twice - add BREADCRUMBS and/or grated CHEESE around halfway

I know that these are a LOT of work...I LOVE them! Please keep up this series. It gives me so many ideas and is sooo fun to watch what the "best" version ends up being so i can try at home.

Potatos are the most versatile food and they are delicious in every way, i love them so much

I hope this is a series. I've watched Bon Appetit's version and I loved that series.

With Hasslebacks, you're supposed to put in a casserole dish, then baste with butter and top with cheese at end.

In Hungary we also have a dish called potato noodles. It uses a kinda wavy square noodle and roasts the potatoes over onions, then lets them steam until cooked and mixes in the cooked noodles. Season with a lot of paprika, salt, black pepper and kumin seeds. Pretty simple and quick but delicious. Also: best to use lard to start it up instead of oil.

I had a good experience eating Smash (instant mash) I was lost on a hike for 2 days and those Smash sachets gave me the comfort of home in a terrifying situation.

Dude your reaction at 20:42 was gold.

Did you miss roast potatoes? Are they a thing in the USA? Also, have you tried stovies (not the Scottish dish)? Like a roast potato but saute/fried in a pan, Becs-table has a recipe similar to one I use. Excellent.

You’ve missed the British classic… roast potatoes! usually part boiled lightly shaken to break the potato and roasted in goose fat! Staple of any British roast dinner

Excellent video, I’m impressed by the mastering of all these techniques, the precision, the energy, the work. Joshua you are a chef by all means! One thing is missing here: you did not mention the potato species you used for each recipe. Did you use the same for all recipes? The kind of potato you use can really make the difference. May be on another video you could compare the same dish with different potatoes. 20 year ago here in France there was a very famous chef called Joel Robuchon and he was the absolute master of the potato cooking at this time. He created a famous recipe of mashed potatoes and his secret lied in the potato variety he used.

Brilliant video 👏🏻👏🏻

April Fool's Day video: Joshua must use *everything* he has said he hates in videos (instant mashed potatoes, air fryer, slow cooker, etc.) and make a good dish.

I think a better way of ranking dishes is needed - it’s hard to give a good x/10 rating when you can’t compare it to the dishes coming after. I suggest a tournament-style system: have two dishes at the same time, pick the better one, it moves onto the next round, so on until you have a winner

I can only truly watch Josh's videos on a full stomach-Otherwise I'm drooling!!

20:22 I love instant mashed potato because it’s consistent, sometimes you’ll get watery potatoes or you’ll mash them wrong and get lumps but no matter what you do to instant mash it’s always the same

If you like potato latkes, the Desi version is really great too. You take grated potatoes add crushed coriander and cilantro as well as onions and shallow fry till golden brown. Serve with chutney or raita 👍🏽

Aligot is not done with gruyère at all but with "tomme fraîche de l'aubracq / cantal", it's like making poutine with cheddar - even tho I imagine it being hard to find in the us. Consistency and taste are very different Also gratin dauphinois is without cheese, traditionnally it's without rincing potatoes for their starch and use a mix of milk and cream pre cooked with garlic and aromatics to infuse, a little bit of butter on top to crips it up in the oven. Brings it to another level :)

You forgot German Bratkartoffeln. One of the best potato dishes there are in the world. As a side dish or with two fried eggs on top as a simple cheap main dish. It's half crispy seared potato slices with seared onion dices and smoked ham/bacon dices, salt and pepper. Heavenly!

watching this video while eating aloo-methi paratha is top tier :)

You missed the 44th way: Szechuan style shredded potatoes "Tu Dou Si". You soak them after shredding to get rid of the starch for a really crunchy texture, then stir fry in peppercorns, jalapenos and vinegar. Totally different from any of the dishes you tested here. I'd love to see your reaction to it.

This, research, try-it-out, make-the-best-of-the -winners, idea, is freaking brilliant. I can see this turning in to a loooooong series. And when you are done, do some more date-night dinners :)

I like instant potatoes like a lot of other dehydrated foods it adds an extra layer of roasted flavor because of the extended time its slightly warmed and cooked down it's probably something you have to know to expect to appreciate

Moin from Germany! You may call us 'Krauts' but we are based much more on potatoes than on cabbage (if you want to become a cabbage, you should eat potatoes^^). We use 3 kinds of potatoes: Festkochende Kartoffeln (hard boiling or waxy potatoes) Mehlig kochende Kartoffeln (soft or starchy boiling potatoes) Vorwiegend festkochende Kartoffeln (primary waxy potatoes) You used different kinds of potatoes in your test. We're using 3 types of boiling potatoes: - peeling before boiling - peeling after boiling - don't peel at all but eat them with the peel. And we traditionally boil the potatoes - even if we fry them afterwards. So coming to smashed or fried potatoes - or to first smashed and afterwards fried - or to fried potatoes that have been neither boiled nor smashed before frying or baking. Baking raw (not pre-cooked) potatoes are relatively new receipes in Germany coming from Italy and France. With one exeption from the time of my grand parents: After helping out on the potatoe field they burned the haulm on the field and grilled the leftover potatoes just on the spot. The peel had been burned and they consumed that without salt. You could call that taste boring if you sit at home in front of a clean dish. You can't call the taste boring when you worked for that all day and sit on the field in front of the burning fire - or you know, your grandparents had done that. That brings a complete new flavour on your dish - the potatoes smells like your grand parents ^^ It's a taste of tradition and culture. You can't compare cooking methods ignoring the traditions and cultures - and different types of potatoes that are used.

The key with the Greek ones is you cook them with a whole chicken as well and they are not as wet and then get crispy. If it needs a little extra you pop them under the broil and make them half crispy this is what I grew up eating. Everyone loves when I make it now.

Broke my leg in November and started binging your videos since then. My boyfriend got me a signed copy of your cookbook and I am so excited to make all the things inside! Thanks for all your hard work!

I am so happy that the lemon potatoes won the rosted category. As a greek, I can confirm, they are extreamely good.

Amazing!

Can't believe you gave instant mashed potatoes a go, but not dehydrated shreds for the hashbrowns. For some reason, those make a much better hashbrown than fresh potatoes

Honestly, I've been to a restaurant in Paris where they had kind of a specialty of pommes dauphines. It was genuinely insane how good it was. We ordered two supplementary batches and ate it all, it was so light, crispy and tasty at the same time that I lost count of how much I ate, and to this day I honestly think it's one of if not the best potato I've ever had

As an ex Australian Infantry Veteran, I can whole heartedly tell you that Potato Deb (Instant mashed potato) is one of the biggest morale boosters in a ration pack!! Though the rat packs are way better now, that was one of the most tradable items in a rat pack along with Beef and Tortellini!! Ours was mixed with dried onion as well which made it even better, and you could use cold water to make it if we were in a tactical situation that we couldn't light or hexi stoves!!

I was making mashed potatoes while I watched! 😂 Instead of heavy cream I use milk and cream cheese in mine. Maybe I'll try it your way next. Either way, this video is potato perfection! Thanks for making it!

Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed it even though the baked potato was a bit over represented. How about trying rice next? It’s a pretty global food that can be made so many different ways. Happy New Year! Keep up the great work!

In Denmark we make “Brun kartofler” which means brown potato. Its basically caramelized potatos with butter. Its basic, but yet so good! We mainly eat it for christmas - It would be funny to see your version of it 😄🙏🏼

Idk why this video is so interesting to me, I've watched the whole 🏆 ❤ From Bangladesh 🇧🇩

This was a lot of fun to watch but for me loaded baked potato is the greatest. My husband adores my hash browns with cheese and smoked paprika seasoning. Funeral potatoes are always great too.
