One other way to change that would be you, yourself, decide to add your own twist to it.

      Hey, if you want a summer recipe, take one can of frozen lemonade concentrate, two cans of sweetened condensed milk and 1 quart of heavy cream. Whipp the cream, mix the lemonade and sweetened condensed milk then add to the whipped cream. You can just dump all ingredients in a food process or a mixer and still get a great result too, so just whip together till thick and creamy, then either put into a graham cracker crust or just put it in the freezer and eat it like ice cream. Great for hot summer days.
      Edit it's gotta be frozen. Basically cheat ice cream/freezer pie filling!

      The only thing I would say here is you can't get an accurate comparison if you're using 30 types of potatoes. Obviously different types of potatoes can provide better flavor or texture, but for consistency and accuracy it needs to all be one type. He'd have to do another of these videos for every kind of potato. This isn't about which potato provides the best taste. This is about which method makes the potato shine the best.

    In Poland we have this ashen potatoes, basically once campfire goes out and only embers remain you burry potatoes (some people wrap them in aluminum foil, more traditionally not) into hot ashes on the outer rim of the campfire's remains and after a while you remove them, cut them in half and eat out inside with a spoon (preferably applying some butter and salt while it's still hot) and discard of the charred skin.

    I love that when it comes down to it you can tell what Josh wants to win. The ones he likes the most he adds a LOT more flavor to the recipe. Case in point; the tater tots. With the potato chips it was plain chips with salt. If he wanted them to do better he'd probably make them BBQ chips or something. With the diner style hash browns it was just potato and salt shallow fried to crispiness. What did he do with the tater tots? He confit'd the potatoes and then fried them in duck fat. Of course they are going to be the best. He should have made them as traditional as possible. Shred the potatoes, maybe a bit of egg to hold them together and then fry them. I can guarantee you that they would have gotten lower scores and not gotten first place. Obvious favoritism means this list isn't reliable and only for entertainment reasons.

      Yeah if he made a salty garlic butter and cut chives and put that on top of literally all of the more basic potatoes it would have felt more fair since he just had to include the plain potatoes recipes with the dishes that are like 50% potato max. When he got to the lemon potatoes I just rolled my eyes, he didn't even do standard baked wedges which has to be like in the top 5 of most popular potato making methods.

      Yes so true. Also, the Hasselbach potatoes were done wrong: if you only season them with salt there's no point in slicing the potato. The idea is to have butter/oil and garlic in between the wedges. Truly awesome. But that requires garlic.. Simply only potato cannot ever win: it always needs something like fat, armotics, etc. to make it sublime.

A twice baked potato is completely different from a baked potato, just as potato skins are. Poutine is simply just fries and covered in shit.

    Aligot is not done with gruyère at all but with "tomme fraîche de l'aubracq / cantal", it's like making poutine with cheddar - even tho I imagine it being hard to find in the us. Consistency and taste are very different
    Also gratin dauphinois is without cheese, traditionnally it's without rincing potatoes for their starch and use a mix of milk and cream pre cooked with garlic and aromatics to infuse, a little bit of butter on top to crips it up in the oven. Brings it to another level :)

    #1 (most important) NO FIRE. Red coals. Preferably wood not charcoal. Think hard wood lump coal or just campfire coals. But again. No fire just coals.
    #2. Oil the potato. Much like baking. Just think of it as primitive baking but you have aluminum foil.
    #3. Rotate. Not like a rotisserie or anything. Just flip every so often.

    Kind of surprised that pommes fondant got such a low score, it really is one of my favourite styles of potatoes from the oven. I don't really get the difference between mash and puree though. Over here we just have 'puree' and everyone makes it completely different. I like to add some grainy mustard to mine, elevates it just a little bit and works perfectly with the common old school Dutch food.

      I think the difference is in the way the potatoes are mashed. In a classic puree it would be with a "passe-vite" and mashed is more "stamppot" if that makes sense. Puree is more like sand that is held together by the milk and butter, while mashed has more texture and bite to it (although still creamy)

      @swedensilke7959 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      You don't always put cheese on top.
      As said it should be in a oven pan or something like that and the cuts should be about 2-3mm and it better to use chopsticks or something like it when cutting because you risk it being to thick at some parts and can mess with the baking if it's not cut the same all over.
      You can at the end put either a Swedish Västerbotten cheese or fine bread crumbs or top or both in the end, but the most important thing is the baste/brush the top of the potatoes repeatedly until they ar almost done and then you can select to put either cheese, bred crumbs or both or instead just some nice sea salt.
      But mostly when geting it in Sweden you will get it with bread crumbs and sea salt or just regular salt.
      Hasselbacks are one of the best way to cook/bake potatoes, but it needs to be done right and not like this and this is the first time i'm really disappointed with Joshua for not doing the research on how to do this right.

    I really enjoyed this video! I am from Ukraine and I believe we have 52 official ways of cooking potato 😀 You had most of them. Simpliest - slice/chop potato most convinient for you way (but not too sick), wash away all the starch from the surface. Use paper/kitchen towels to dry it good and spread it on medium high preheated frying pan with few mm of some oil (well some pig bellies fat or backon of course will add flavor - duck fat too) ... and DO NOT TOUCH for few minutes - it will form the initial crust. After crust is formed on the bottom of the pan - you are allowed to season it with salt, ground pepper and garlic powder. Now you can toss it around to make sure everything will be cooked evenly. At 60-75% donnes you need to add thin sliced onions (not white - use angry yellow or may be red) - about 1/3 of the potato volume. Cook till done - enjoy!
    Bonuse - for latke (De-roo-ny - original name) - use shredding side of the grater - name of the dish comes from it - squeeze most of the liquid+starch away (save if you need later) - NEVER use eggs or bread crumbs - just add shredded onions. Period. It will hold perfect pancake shape and yes it can go with silly apple souse or (as it suppose to go) with sour cream or even more original - semi fried backon with all that melted fat from it .....

    If shredded and fried counts, then you forgot one of my favourite potato dishes. In Germany, they are called "Knödel" or "Klöße" which roughly translates to dumpling. We have a lot of instant stuff here too, but the ones I make are called "Grüne Klöße" because half of the mix isn't cooked when you initially form them.
    IMPORTANT! You need floury/Starchy cooking potatoes for this. Otherwise, you get to watch the potato shreds float in the water...
    Take half of the potatoes and cook then shred them. While that half is cooling down, take the other half of the potatoes and shred them immediately. Once cooked half is cooled down, toss both parts together, season the mix then form balls, add some toasted breadcrumbs to the centre, plop in softly boiling salt water (I never actually salt the mix, I let the salt from the water do the deed).
    You don't want the water to actually be bubbling because that makes the balls fall apart very quickly!
    By the end of it, you should have a really tasty potato dish and the best part is that whatever is left over (usually nothing lol) you can cut that into slices and pan fry the next day. Super tasty, my absolute favourite way to prep potatoes and savoury :)
    Note: there are a lot of recipes out there for these and this is just my way of prepping them.

    The potatoes won't burn if you do the foil over coal method. In South Africa, we often wrap a potato in foil (oiled and seasoned obviously) and place it next to coals (more often than not coals formed from burning logs of wood [re: braai]). It does take a while but they're generally done while other food is being braai'ed.

    You need to cook the jacket (baked) potato for twice as long. In the UK the standard recipe is 90 mins.
    I normally cook it for 45 then wrap in aluminium foil with oil and salt (most wouldn’t oil or salt - some foil from the beginning).
    The potato flesh starts to change colour from white to a deeper yellow and it becomes much sweeter in taste.
    In the UK the jacket (baked) potato is a staple accompaniment at dinner or filled for lunch.

    Broiled Potatoes (7:53) are your typical aloo fry made in an oven (I loved this one too). Aloo fry is a classic Indian comfort food. I think the home fries (21:34) and the stir-fry (22:53) would have rated so much higher if you would have done the following aloo fry method instead.
    Here's a simple recipe:
    1. Peel your potatoes (preferably russet) and dice them up as done for the broiled potatoes (7:53).
    2. Heat up a pan and add some vegetable oil or for a richer taste add ghee (clarified butter) to it. (You could also mix in both fats).
    3. Shallow fry those potatoes stirring them up occasionally till G.D.
    4. Season them with salt, turmeric powder, and red chili powder (cayenne pepper) and toss them. (This amount of seasoning is a bare minimum and none of them are optional)
    5. For additional flavor you could throw in other seasonings such as MSG, smoked paprika, coriander powder, cumin powder etc. (You can really experiment with your desired flavor outcome, but some of them might not turn out to be as good and overpower the potato flavor)
    6. You can also spin a bit more texture and flavor into this dish by adding diced onions mid-way during frying the potatoes and stir-frying the contents of the pan. (This might decrease the crunch of the potatoes, but the onion brings in a new delight.)
    This can be eaten as it is or mixed with plain white rice or eaten with a roti.

      It's even better if you use green chillies sliced in half instead of chilli powder.
      You have to add them in the beginning after adding all the other spices.

    You can't mark down a potato for tasting like a potato. A great potato has a good potato flavour and one that doesn't get drowned out by all the additions you might add.

    When Xmas is coming up and in Germany alone certainly more than 43 versions of potato salads will turn up (as every region has their own styles), seeing some other examples what to do with potatoes is nice.

    Microwave "baked" potato: clean potato, stab well with fork to release steam, microwave potato two to five minutes on high until tender. Add toppings like normal baked potato.

    Good vid. You should try the "Al Caliu" Potatoes from Catalonia, where you put the potato wrapped in foil directly into the coal. Awesome texture and great flavour.

      Yeah we even do potatoes and mushrooms directly in ashes, then brush the ashes off and it tastes great! 🙂 In Czechia we call it dead man's spice.

    Instant potatoes and water: Oh wow, nasty. Who would've thought?
    Potatoes boiled in salt water, mashed, butter, milk, heavy cream, salt (also seems to have chives and pepper on the shot): OH wow guys these just THE BEST of the bunch! WE HAVE A WINNER??
    This was both entertaining (because of the guys) and painful.

      Agreed. Though, I do make regular mashed potatoes, I often used good quality instant but add cream, butter, chives, bacon, cheese, whatever. I am betting if they made instant and regular the same way and didn't know ahead which was which, the scores would have been much closer.

    In some parts of India, we have a very simple potato dish where you take boiled potatoes, peel them and lightly mash them, fry a little bit of cumin and dried red chilies (2-3) in butter/ghee/oil in a small bowl (until the chilies become lightly crispy) and add it to the mashed potatoes, add some salt and mash the whole thing thoroughly. Roll them into palm sized balls and there you go.
    Variations include adding chopped onions, fried onions, a little bit of lemon juice.
