    I've been following this recipe ever since I found it and my family will no longer eat potatoes baked the normal way. Love it.
    Quick tips:
    -Preheat your roasting tray
    -No need to use a strainer, just use a pot lid to strain
    - To help facilitate drying, put the oil on after the potatoes have completely steam dried. Also, put the strained potatoes back on low heat and shake the pan gently with the lid off. The extra heat will dry the potatoes faster. Then just put the lid back on and shake more vigorouslu.
    - Allow the potatoes to cool further on your baking tray before tossing in oil and putting in the oven. The drier the potato, the better the crisp.
    - A little smoked paprika is nice too.

    Kenji, I just want to say your videos are amazing for those of us trying to learn some new tricks! In Culinary school we are taught to ALWAYS start potatoes in cold water because they won't cook evenly (and also something about the starches not gelatinizing properly, who knows) but when roasting like this, you need the outside of the potato a little mushy and banged up. Wonderful idea!

It had a very nice crunchy exterior with a soft interior. Superb. The only downside is that it took some time. Plan on 1 1/2 to 2 hrs from start to finish. It took alot longer to bake. But i agree w my husband. It was definitely worth waiting for. Thank u so much for sharing the technique and science behind this fabulous dish. Subscribed.

Dispite of that miracle cure which people throw on chicken , beef, green beans and so on, this is 95% what Oliver did and believe me, they get crunchy as hell. The most important step and at the same time the biggest disatvantage is to pre-cook the potatoes until the surface looks fluffy after tossed in a colander. But to be honest I am not a fan of either methods. You can call the inside fluffy or creamy, I would rather call it mushy and overcooked. It's more like fried potato puree.

      Any tweaks to make this (kinda) work for sweet potatoes? I'm guessing no but I am going to make some SP fries using some of the ideas mentioned here. Thanks!

      Sou vide them for 1 hr at 160 before cutting them up into roasting chuncks.

      You can't really get crispy sweet potatoes without adding a separate starch. They just aren't the same as regular potatoes unfortunately.

    • @KingSlayte

      J. Kenji López-Alt what kind of starch would you recommend? I am definitely interested in a crunchy type of sweet potato as well

    You completely inspired us across most of our thanksgiving dishes this year, so thank you for everything you do! We nearly didn't make potatoes this year (expecting a smaller crowd, only 5 people), but we watched this day-of and made it, and it stole the show!

  • @joebartling1930

    Kenji, I have made these a few times. My wife has requested them for Sunday dinners 4 weeks in a row. They quite literally are the best roasted potatoes ever.

  • @rositalesmana186
    @rositalesmana186 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hands down the best potatoes we’ve ever had. I over-boiled it and under-baked it but it’s still tastes delicious more than any regular baked potatoes.

    @2:46 as someone that has loved from childhood any kind of potato. This already looks amazing. In the coming segment where he has you flip them. Bake them but not until deep brown. You want a gold color on them, but not brown. I promise you the texture and flavor will be so much better.
    He says "half an hour to forty minutes longer" cut that time in half to 15-20 minutes.

      I've made them in a skillet using this video method using half butter and half oil. They turned out just as amazing. I sprinkled in thyme at the end. It goes hand in hand with potatoes.

    Just came here randomly after I don't know how long to thank you Kenji for this amazing video! Every time there is a roast lunch, which is normally every Sunday in my house, I make these potatoes. That's how much I like them and how amazing they are. I got so lucky to not only get recommended this but to decide to try the recipe as well. Keep up the good content!

  • @melodynakamura4028
    @melodynakamura4028 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I made these with yukon gold skin on potatoes. I baked them on a rack instead of directly on the pan. Negates the need to flip as they are not sitting on the pan and the heat can distribute the potatoes evenly. I baked them at 450 for 1 hour and they came out perfect.
    I used fresh rosemary, basil, thyme and garlic for the infused oil. After potatoes were done I sprinkled some fresh grated parmesan. OMG, I love this recipe. This method of cooking the potatoes to get that crisp is spot on. Best roasted potatoes I have made.

  • @NIFTYin

    5 table spoons of oil.
    I'd love to see how much oil was actually in there. I'd bet the farm more than 5 table spoons.
