My 17 yr old son said, "he's freakishly enthusiastic" as he heard you end the video while I joined in singing the outro. You make me happy Chef John!!!
All i oli is NEVER prepared with mayonnaise. We do it by crushing garlic on a mortar until you get a paste. Then season with salt and pour olive oil little by little while stirring the mix until the texture gets "mayonnaisy."
It's not a bad recipe, but this has nothing to do with patatas bravas. The sauce is the focus of the dish and it's ingredients are secret to the point where the only place where you can get legit patatas bravas is in the "Las Bravas" restaurant in Madrid. This probably tastes great but it's a completely different thing. Maybe i'm getting too deffensive, but this is like seeing someone mixing cinamon, sugar and orange juice and saying he made coca cola. And yes, the difference is THAT big. I cant find a single connection between Bravas sauce and this sauce apart from the fact that they both are a sauce of some kind.

if you put a heaping teaspoon of baking soda into your boiling liquid it will break down the starch on the surface of the potato causing an even crispier crust and deeper color when you fry.
TheGero95 I normally hate anime but it's actually really fucking weird and hilarious. Also, try to be less of a jerk. Life's better when you're not a raging anger management candidate. Cheers. 👬
I live in Spain, and this is as close as it gets and I LOVE patatas bravas! I'm also a model. But this channel is inspirational and I found it by accident. I get everything I need. I also like the highs and lows emphasis in your voice; makes presentation engaging and anticipatory- which is not only the key to entertaining, but INSPIRING and motivating. By the way, there's an easy, tasty, simpler and healthy way to make aoli. Use a hand mixer and a tall cup that 's just wide enough to accommodate the circumference of the mixer blade, 2 cloves garlic, a pinch of salt, and a 2 to 1 ratio of sunflower oil (here, we call it "girasol") to fat-free milk. For example: 2 half cups or 1 cup sunflower oil to 1/2 cup of fat-free milk. Mix all together, wait about 5 minutes, then insert the mixer and slowly and seductively move the mixer up and down in small increments until you feel the mixture solidify. It's finished in about 3 minutes and it's addicting, tastes good on anything. Thanks so much, man! You're groovin' this channel!
Listening to people eating their food is my biggest pet peeve, but Chef John made me shiver when he ate some of those potatoes from how good it sounded. I wanna make this now.
I'm like you, I hate to "hear" people eating in real life, but in these videos, it really IS the best way of demonstrating that wonderful crispy crunch. Here, it's an awesome sound--in fact, I'm making these Monday :)
I seldom eat potatoes but bought ten pounds for my COVID social isolation and, after living three years in Spain, am weeping with gratitude. Not only will I be able to eat all those potatoes I will be in solidarity with my isolated Spanish friends. Thank you!!!
daUser666 yeh that's a pain, Santa decided to give me gastro for Christmas so I missed out on all the christmas feasts! It's all good now, I got better just in time for new year feasts so I'm happy.
110% AGREE!! That was the main reason I subscribed- Chef John- your voice and humor are very captivating! Oh, and the recipes too..hehehe Please do not follow the chefs on TV and become a 'celebrity chef'- keep it real and pure on You tube!❤👨🍳
In my country it is called Aloo Chaat 😍😍😍 Instead of Aioli we use beaten thick yoghurt along with tamarind chutney and green chilli+mint chutney. The salt has more or less the same spices. We use just one type of chilli(only dried red chilli flakes are used) and sometimes a pinch of asafoetida is used to enhance the flavour.
I'm going to make this with a class of high school students. We got Spain for "international day". It's on you if I get fired! Love this channel, keep up the great work.
I was happy when I saw you use mortar and pestle for the all i oli but then you used the already made mayonnaise instead of making real all i oli, love your channel, its just something my catalan granma would never forgive me if I did
OMG talk about great quarantine food , I made these this morning for breakfast with scrambled eggs and a couple strips of bacon but The Patatas Bravas were 🔥 people! I will say I'm not big on Mayo so I use sour cream, the best thing was the crispiness on the outside and the soft cloud of potato on the inside. I can't imagine frying potatoes any other way ever again. My husband was impressed!
Just made this today for about 10 of my family members after watching this video and they LOVED IT !! love your videos nevwr get tired of watching them thanks a bunch!
Wow, I bet you're proud of that response. And I know I didn't have to reply, I wanted to because quite frankly you were being an ass for no reason at all. I also don't even like asmr I just know it exists but if I offended you I apologize...but either way it's not your place to lecture me. I'm no longer going to waste my time acknowledging your rude comments.
@ inressurection I would just like to point out the irony that your 2nd post used the straw man fallacy. You didn't support your argument for why this video isn't ASMR in the first place.
Just 2 things about the recipee. It looks great and it will probablu taste great, but when you cut the poteitos, you should break them. You start the cut, and then twist the knife. That way it has more area, and that makes more crispiness after you fry them. The other thing its the brava and mayo. Usually you serve brava at one side, and allioli at the other, and the mix its great, so that sauce you made will taste amazing, but that wont be the taste of salsa brava. Brava taste a bit like a shiracha with more cayenne than garlic.
Chef John, I only recently came across your channel accidentally. I watched one video and immediately subscribed. Not only are the dishes you make simple amazing to look, your commentary is absolutely enjoyable. I really like your sense of humor!! I hope you get to see this comment ... seeing as how the post is very old! Kudos! and Thanks.
John you are saving us during social distancing! All 5 of us at home everyday! We need to get creative! Yesterday I saw your cottage fries, tonight we had cottage fries. Tonight I saw this; tomorrow we are having this. Big, easy, cheap meals help so much when supplies are sparse!
Back in the 60s, when I was a kid, my Mom and Dad made home-made potato salad. They would boil the taters, then chill them and refrigerate them. My brother and I would sneak into the fridge at night and eat cold potatoes! I liked mine with mustard and mayo, he liked his with tabasco.
I watch his vids because they're awesome and informative (while not always completely true re origins or dishes etc). The 'waiting for the cayenne' is a perk! :D
Sooo, this recipe has been saved in my "watch later" list, which means, "cook later", for a little over 3 yrs. I finally made it. They are so delicious, aioli and all!! The only step I substituted was the tomato paste, used homemade ketchup instead. Too lazy to open a new can, & didn't feel like thawing out my frozen portions 😏 Thx, Chef John!!
nice! i have a good similar recipe- boil potatoes like shown but instead of deep frying, pan fry with curry powder, crushed coriander seeds, chili powder, add thinly sliced fresh jalapeno, garlic, cook til crispy and finish with cilantro and lime
I've seen a previous picture, picture only, without never before having watched the video of these potatoes, and not ever being sure if it was this video or not I'm ecstatic to having found it and this time I have saved it and watched the entire video. It was the picture that first caught my eye.
In India, this is one of most sorted street food. It's called Aaloo Chaat. Here instead of the mayo dressing its a hot parsley mint sauce that's used and the outcome is super gorgeous. But yes again the crispy sound is what makes the whole world of difference. Will try out this variation of dressing today itself without waiting further.
#FSEWSL swag :D i follow your videos since 2012 and this is by far my favourite snack recipe, i prefer selfmade sourcream with a touch of smoked paprika as a dip! keep your work going and greetings from germany! :)
Love your style!!! You are so funny :) Would really enjoy if you had vegan recipes. With your talent, I know they would be fenomenal! Please consider making some vegan recipes. Thank you!!! Peace to all.
idk now that i went to brown rice my fat loss almost stopped, oatmeal with a spoon of honey gave me the best results i have ever seen, but brown rice did help me retain the weight where as potatoes put fat on me, food for thought. damn i wish i had some potatoes, crispy crunchy tasty potatoes :-)
+James Williams 777 Ohh no... I was about to try this out instead of my oatmeal... Now it makes me sad 😔... by the way thanks for mentioning your results 😃
Geetanjali Sakhare ohh no no no no no it wont happen right away i meant as my carb source for a full 30 days i used potatoes but a small bag of potatoes spread throughout the month will be fine especially if you have friends help you eat them lol ;-)
