Thanks so much. Turned out great! 🎉
I mean they look great, but this style is not something everybody would call best. These are not crispy at all.
Where’s the garlic brah
All Stores Please lower the price of all Military and Local for all brands of Potato Products and Accessories and Production Cost Now That's too much $$ The Whole World Now Pray
This kinda potatoes without caraway seeds? No way. Ever ever? Ever ever.
Reminds me of fondant potatoes but without the chicken stock.
What a load of bullocks
That is so not the way we cook roast 'tats in the UK! LOL I'm sure they are nice but stick with Ramsey and Oliver on that one 😉
The better option would be to skip all that bs and just cup the potatoes up in 1/2 or 1/3rds of the size he has them cut at, and bake at 400-425F for 30-60 mins. Turning about every 15 mins. Much easier than doing 3 different cooking methods (boiling, frying, baking), and wasting a bunch of dishes.
Now I know why I love to eat roasted potatoes but not make them😅
Very nice… but I'm afraid to say Delia Smith's roast potatoes beat this hands down easily!
I would probably just drop them in a pot of hot oil or deep fryer and skip the oven and pan part just like they do in restaurants. It's just something I hate about grilled or baked potatoes, they get way too dry and starts to taste like cardboard especially on the inside, it's nothing like mashed or boiled potatoes on the inside. I'd rather just eat basic fully boiled potatoes w/ some nice sauce than oven/grilled ones.
It occured to me that you could cut the russets into squares and go for a perfect brownig. I grow enough russets to last the winter so will try this method next time. Never one to waste I'll use the cutoffs for somehting else. Thanks for the inspiration.
Just found him on YouTube tonight! I'm addicted to his videos. He is fabulous!
This guy is my new favorite. I was a professional Chef for 15 years, and I miss it sometimes. But having said that, I just can't get enough of watching Chef/Cooking related channels. Wish I would have discovered this guy a long time ago.
❤❤❤I 💕 🥔❤❤❤
Nice, my favourite potatoes.
nice tips but this whole procedure is a veeery long one
Ghee makes every foods 😋 yummy
really great show and channel, love his cooking explanations easy to follow and to understand
I wanna put some sour cream on there, yuuum! Get in mah belly
The fact that I use same, skillet, pepper grinder, knife, cutting board, and tongs make me happy.
Any British mum on a Sunday will make better roasties than these….
I trust frank wih my life of course I'm gonna watch this and enjoy every second
These potatoes would be fine but hardly worthy of the best roasted potatoes in the world self proclaimed title. Mine come out with a deep crunchy outside and fine mashed potato consistency on the inside. Roasted potatoes are a serious business and I could never share my recipe with a chef that appears to claim all his recipes are the best. Unworthy.
Fantastic 🎉
Peel the potatoes
Wash the potatoes
Boil the potatoes
Fry the potatoes
Roast the potatoes
…..We're about halfway through. 💀
where can I go to print out this recipe? My memory is shot.
can some one tell me if we can do this with no oven… just keep turning it in the pan?
Chef skills for others?!?! These are for me, just me. I'll make instant potatoes for the rest of the family. 😊
Sort,of "Fondant"style…
You need chicken salt
Give me a break, no way u need this drawn out process to make nice roasted potatoes!
Hash browns recipe please
It depends on preference, but if you like really crispy skins, you can boil the potatoes for much longer than that. It gives a much rougher edge to the potato. I always drain into a colander too, which gives you an opportunity to shake them around a bit (further roughing them up) and means you can steam dry them.
Also, rather than frying them in a pan, you can put a layer of oil in the base of a roasting tray and turn them a couple of times during cooking. You probably don't get quite the same level of fine control, but they taste great.
Wow Chef….Master Chef gives a master class. * Thank You.
Thanks chef
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Who has time to cook the same potatoes three times?
awesome thank you
