Hey Paul I need some clarification. What kind of potatoes are you using? Do you always use bacon grease to fry your potatoes? I’ve tried several times with great results only once!! Do you have a video of the first fried potatoes you did where you said the parboiled in salt and vinegar were “all that”?
Hey Bob! I'm using regular Russet potatoes. Nothing special. I have evolved a bit on oil since I did this video. Now I mainly use avocado oil, because it is perfect for griddle cooking. It in nearly flavorless, has a 500 degree smoke point, and has become more reasonable priced (I buy mine at Sam's Club). When cooking potatoes now I'll use Avocado oil, and then supplement with butter along the way to help with the browning. My very first Blackstone griddle video (I now have 27 Blackstone griddle videos) was the one I referred to in this video. In that video I seasoned my new Blackstone Griddle, and then cooked my first bacon, eggs, and potatoes with it. The potatoes I used were parboiled with a little vinegar. ruclips.net/video/qtFXgx8j0Js/видео.html When you say you've tried several time, with great results only one, what happened the other times? It is probably a correctable problem if you tell me what is happening. I've also evolved a little on my favorite style of potatoes. Although I still make home fries, I also make hash browns using dehydrated potatoes. I made a playlist of videos with home fries and hash browns. ruclips.net/p/PLDy4q0z2cihtl4Ojtp6Ev1guWzp11LTPS Thanks for asking questions! I enjoy helping people figure this stuff out. I hope you'll stick around!
Bob's Red Mill says yes you can: You Can Prep by Parboiling the Potatoes Early "As if better flavors and saved time were not enough to convince you to parboil, you can even prep your potatoes early this way. Parboiled potatoes are good for up to one to two days after you remove them from boiling. So if you have a dinner party coming up, friends coming over, or just want to get a headstart on your meal prep for the week, parboiling potatoes helps you be able to cut down on cooking time before the actual event. Simply parboil your potatoes, wrap them in an airtight container, and place them in the fridge as you would any leftovers. When you’re ready to finish cooking them, you’re ready to go with delicious potatoes every time that will cook much faster than if you started from scratch." www.bobsredmill.com/blog/uncategorized/parboil-potatoes/ If you have the time, I would try a small batch first, just to see how it goes. But it looks like parboiling them the day before will work! Good luck with your potatoes, and thank for watching!
You should cool the parboiled potatoes under cool running water immediately after par boiling, and then immediately refrigerate the the potatoes until you are ready to cook with them. From www.myrecipes.com/healthy-diet/foods-leftovers-not-safe-reheat-poison "When cooked potatoes are left out at room temperature or warmed up for a second time, they can take a toxic turn for the worst. Why? Warm temperatures promote the growth of the rare bacteria, botulism, that is commonly found in potatoes. If you can't bear throwing leftovers away, the best solution is to refrigerate uneaten cooked potatoes immediately. As in, don't pull them from the oven and let them stand for an hour or so until they reach room temp, and then pack them away. If you find yourself with quite a few leftovers, store the potatoes in multiple plastic containers and refrigerate promptly so that they cool down faster."
@herbkilian commented, "Totally useless." I'm sorry, but you're going to have to give me a little more to work with @herbkilian . Was it the different cooking methods, the demonstration and judging of the potatoes at the end, the "Standard Bearers" that I used to mark each set of potatoes, or the Blackstone itself that you found totally useless? It is hard for me to improve what I do, if I don't know what part of the video you found totally useless. Help me out here.
@@user-ww9rx4ob4q yes, I figured he was a troll. I like to have my fun with the trolls. Good, cheap entertainment. Sometime they even reply. This one was a coward though.
I made a terrible error and watched this while eating dinner. Now I want breakfast for dinner instead!
Every time I fire up the Blackstone, somehow I end up eating eggs and potatoes. I like it!

Can you par boil the night before? I’m cooking for 28
