Your idea to heat up half the oil and pour it over the potatoes so you don’t need to turn them is complete genius. Thank you!
@cianmoriarty7345 3 місяці тому
You really don't need that much if you pour it over it.
@Colin623 2 місяці тому
More like common sense to be perfectly frank 👍I've done this for donkey's years to be fair, the way I do it is to use a bigger roasting pan than I actually need, so when I put the spuds into the oil in the dish there is enough oil and space to scoop out the hot oil with a tablespoon and drizzle all over the potatoes ! Easy peasy.

I have something similar I do that instead of the oil fry bath I add aromatics to my oil in a pan, strain it and toss it with the potatoes in a bowl then place them onto a sheet and into the oven. Once they come out I sprinkle the aromatics I fried in oil over them. Your method takes the crispiness to a whole new level.

If you can’t find low starch potatoes you can put a few caps of vinegar and it will stop the pectin in the potatoes from breaking down. You’ll be able to cook them all the way through without them disintegrating as much. You can then let them cool and rough them up a bit more without the loss of potatoes.

It's nice to see a chef season freshly crisped food with fine salt, which actually sticks to the food. If that were the only part of the video I saw, I would immediately know this guy is a real chef, not just a UKposts foodie. I can't count the number of videos I've seen where chefs instruct their viewers to finish a crispy fried or roasted dish with giant flaky salt, and then immediately cut to a slow-mo shot of all that flaky salt bouncing off the food and doing a great job of seasoning the countertop. I, personally, don't eat a lot of countertops, so I kinda' prefer my seasoning to stay on the food.

In a hotel, got a massive tray of them out of the oven, turned around, put them down, shut the over door, and then realised there was a big crack in the corner of the tray where my hand was. Looked down and the oil had basically stripped the skin off most of one finger and i nearly passed out from the pain. And no i didn't get to finish early haha.

@khaledzurikat7190 2 місяці тому
That’s what I learned from Heston, that’s his method really. BUT : here the chef says use low starch (waxy) potatoe. He’s got it backwards- it is the exact opposite, this should use a high starch (starchy) potato like a russets. Starch molecules expand and burst and cause this fluffiness. Waxy are good for potato salad since they stay intact.
@bartram33 4 місяці тому
That’s more or less exactly how I do my roasties. The only thing extra that I do, as I do in all my cooking with oil/fat, I have a small block of wood which I use to tilt the pan to let all the oil / fat run to one end of the dish or pan for a minute or two before I remove the potatoes or whatever I’m cooking👍

For those of us who don’t have access to that variety of potato, what’s a good substitute? Yukon gold, maybe?
@LifeLongCaboose 3 місяці тому
Any yellow waxy potato like a Yukon gold will work. These waxy yellow potato's are a true all purpose potato and work for roast potato's to mash to fries. There good for everything. It's why I keep them in the kitchen no matter what. You can also red skinned potato's, full size or baby. A low starch red skin will work great for this but has a bit less sweetness than the yellow. Some people even prefer a high scratch potato's like a russet for this. I don't but any potato will work and some people swear by russets for this. My recommendation tho is any yellow waxy spud for that extra but of sweetness. An this way you can get the largest bag at the store and use them for anything.

I use this method but every now any again, rather than forming a hard and crispy crust, the crust becomes kind of soft and soggy, almost like potato is just saturated with oil. Do you know why this might be? I always make sure to get the oil as hot as possible before adding the potatoes.

As a chef i cant emphasize enough on how important is HEAVILY SEASONING the water in which you're gonna boil stuff, in essence it mighy sound crazy but the salt draws water out of the potatoes and it happens cause of osmosis !!!

Agria potatoes are high in starch, not low in starch. The starch molecules pop when cooked, and expand, creating light and fluffy spuds. You need a high starch spud like Maris pepper, king Edward, or Agria.

Low starch content? This doesn't sound right. Floury potatoes are generally considered better than waxy for roasting because they are high in starch but lower in sugar and lower in water content. High starch to sugar ratio and less water content allow the potatoes to crisp up. I haven't tried Agria potatoes but the most floury/starch potatoes I have tried are Blue Danube - they go really crispy.
