Boiling water, boil cut potatoes for 8 minutes. Boil oil, boil potatoes for several minutes, and again after you turn up the heat. It's literally so easy...half the steps are boiling
@@OrigamiMarie Boohooooo. You actually have to work for your food to be enjoyable! I don't trust a person who "Bakes" a potato in the freaking MICROWAVE
@@OrigamiMarie Chop your potatoes, coat them in a bit of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, throw them on a pan and place them in an oven or convection oven for like 40-50 minutes at 425. Thank me later. Literally as simple as chopping, coating, and waiting. Barely any clean up! I just can't let you enjoy potatoes made in a microwave lmao
I agree with you, the end product doesn't look like it's worth the amount of cutting, slicing, boiling, and frying you have to do. "smashed potatoes" are a lot easier to make and are amazing, but to each their own I guess!
Thanks for this. Also, thanks for telling us what you're using. I see so many of these cooking channels that have fantastic looking food but don't even tell you what ingredients they're using
I was thinking the same 😂 but also you should try bacon extra crunchy mix it into your sour cream my grampa did it when ever he made his baked potatoes
Try some kewpie mayo, it's a lot nicer kind of mayo 😉. If you like a bit of spice. Try mixing said kewpie with Sriracha 😋. Yummers. Jump outside the norm!!
Sonny: I love it when you eat something and say to yourself, "possibly the best potato I've ever eaten" Me: eats really good instant Ramen "possibly the best potato I've ever eaten"
I see so many people preparing potatoes for frying that miss a *crucial* step. After peeling/slicing/dicing, SOAK THEM IN COLD WATER. I prefer to do 2 soaks, a shorter one after a longer one. Soaking draws out extra starch, which holds water, so when they fry, they get crispier, and less "heavy" with oil.
OR ... You make the totally lazy version of this dish, in: 1. Not squaring up the potatos 2. Slicing up the potatoes like he did 3. Just pan fry those mofos They are still the best potatos i ever had.
For anyone thinking this is wasteful, just save the trimmings for mash or make some regular fries with the rest. Just because you trim something, doesn’t mean it has to go to waste! You can use carrot and celery tops for broth/stock, skins for compost, etc. Just throw the trimmings in a baggie for later and enjoy the yummy fancy potatoes now and worry about the rest later!
or start a backyard garden. all those scraps with some straw, lawn clippings, weeds, dried leaves in the fall, etc and you have the start to a great compost. compost everything and your garden will love you.
Potatoes are some of the most versatile food items. Breakfast? Hash browns. Lunch? Mashed potatoes. Dinner? Baked potatoes. Fast food? French fries. Alcohol. (In thick Russian accent) *_Comrade, we have vodka_*
It’s always the best feeling when your favorite version of a food is the one you make. I made homemade taquitos the other day and idk if I’ll ever have taquitos better than those.
I've never seen a single hot dog place offer hot dogs anywhere close to how I make them. Melted cheese in a toasted bun, hot sauce (usually sriracha) on top of the cheese, hot dog and bacon on top of that (either bacon wrapped or just bacon wedged in), loaded with caremelized onions on top, finish with seasonings and mustard. Closest I ever find is bacon wrapped with shredded cheese on top (not melted) with grilled (but not caramelized) onions. It's just not the same.
@@matthewhearn9910 that’s crazy! My mom recently started putting queso on her hotdogs! I tried it and it’s actually pretty good. She’ll do the queso and then the coleslaw lettuce, the hot dog, mustard, onions and relish. I also recommend melting shredded cheese to a tortilla before making chicken street tacos
@@dimasgomez the boil with baking soda leads to a crisper outside when fried, it isn't just about cooking the inside. If you're happy with your results, then obviously its fine to skip that step. There is some science to it, though, which is worth considering. Personally, to make a similar dish as the video I'd make loaded fries with less effort and less potato waste that will taste exactly the same. Presentation is messier, but your mouth doesn't care.
@@Ocarina654thank you for saying almost exactly what i was thinking. If we're out here giving our fries a little vinegary flash boil anyway (which everyone should, it's life changing), it's gonna be pretty identical in texture and flavor. These potates are beautiful and likely delicious, but not very practical if you're trying to feed people, and i'm definitely not putting in that much effort to eat a single potato by myself lmao
Wait a second... I've seen that fridge punch before! Did you just reuse the fridge abuse footage from your butter chicken video? I demand fresh fridge abuse footage!! All jokes aside, these potatoes look amazing! :D
Being a chef for years preparing dishes, looking at your food is entertaining, mouth-watering, and informative. I will be back with more accolades later.
Instead of wasting 50% of your potatoes you can do what my work does and it'll come out even better. Peel potatoes Cook potatoes until half done Slice potatoes VERY thin into sheets Place in baking pan with parchment paper Freeze half an hour Cut up like brownies, fry the potato layer brick. Now you have fried layered potatoes
You are the only channel I seen do this and add all the GOOD toppings. Usually its just a sauce or chive ttype things. Delicious looking enough to convince me to make this
Don't let someone using innuendo as clickbait bother u. Two reasons: 1) bothering people with innuendo is half the reason they do it. If it's controversial, it generates clicks. It's only controversial because it bothers you 2) you changed the part where he punches the fridge to him swinging around a cucumber like it's his dick, this is still a really good potato recipe. Focusing on the absence of innuendo seems just as bad as a sexy pun. PO. TA. TO.
@@eviedevi. U know, the ones with cucumbers? Waiving it around? Penis? Those ones. It's moderately effective at getting clicks, usually not very funny, and for some people, distracting. I really don't care either way but I think it's sad to let a gimmick hijack ur ability to see the bigger picture
@shamimahmed1038 if you look at it from the top, it is a square, the actual shape of the entire potato after 'squaring it up' is a cuboid. honestly was joking about semantics, but now I genuinely think your parents were probably siblings if you are taking this so seriously 🤣 But I'll indulge you... if you look up the dictionary definition of squaring up an object: to cut or reduce to square, rectangular, or cubical form.
I love it when you eat something and say to your self “ possibly the best potato I’ve ever eaten” Me: eats a slice of cake ….” Possibly the best potato I’ve ever eaten”
I made these today, just by pan frying them in butter until there was a nice golden crust on each side. Halfway through I put in some Italian seasoning and seasoned salt, flipped them over and basted the butter over them and they are melt in your mouth deliciousness! Only takes about 10 minutes. The only way I'll make my potatoes from here out.
This was absolutely amazing! There are some details from the text that I wish made it, but some things aren’t best translated to video and I think the pacing was perfect! I only wish that the detail that “You are as good at dealing with antimemes as you are on the first day” was kept in because as the original story said, “how do you deal with something that eats all your training?”
