I love everything about your channel. You are such a nice man and a true gentleman
I've got to try these. Would finishing them in a air fryer work?
I want to marry you.π
Looks so good!
I just made this dish with a few modifications (lot of cayenne, some garlic powder, lemon juice only while blanching) for thanksgiving today. It turned out absolutely delicious! Never going back to my older version of roast potatoes. Thank you Chef Wainaina!
Wow.. Making them today for the kids

Hi Chef! Former Neighbor at 113 School Street! Merry Christmas to you and yours! We miss you and your friendly face and food around here! I LOVE you have such a big following! I will share this on my Facebook!
Love, Karen (Joe and Daisy!! )
WoW! Thank you, Chef. Being an empty nester it's sometimes a challenge deciding the next meal. I have the hen in the oven, but I wanted something other than mashed potatoes. I am delighted to find this lovely recipe. This will pair well with my baked chicken. I am new to your channel; however, I am excited to browse your content.
Looks delicious
This is a must try especially with this cold weather. @chefwainaina…do you have any recipe for spaghetti ? I have been checking through your page and can't find one

Well done chef
I added garlic to mine and were perfect. Delish recipe thankyou for sharing π
Biggest mistake English Queen Elizabeth 1 made was sending the English explorer Raliegh West as he came back with Horrible Potatoes and Tobacco, whereas if he had gone East we would be eating beautiful Sweet Potato.
What does adding the lemon to the water do for the potato?
β€β€β€Amen dear thanks
Chef D Wainana,your crispy potatoes wiil be soon in our stomacs.

QUESTION….can any type of pan, other than cast iron, go into the oven?
