"I want my mashed potatoes taste like mashed potatoes"
*Proceed to show him smoke it with hay*
... so mine tastes wrong the whole time?
hahahaha. you made my day
Yes I even add burn butter to make it taste like burned butter
LOL no, that smoking over hay thing was weird...I don't want my mashed potatoes tasting like grass x_x
Emily should cook Back-to-Back with Carla on Bon Appetit
YES!!!!!
We need this crossover!!!
evillilmonkey YEEEESSS AND MAKE FRENCH TOAST 😤
This is chaotic evil at it's best lmao.
I would give my left leg for this.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how Rhoda is legit like Claire's fairy godmother in all her Gourmet Makes videos.
If I had a fairy godmother I would like to think she'd be Rhoda as well!
Rhoda is best mom. If I had to choose a mom figure in the Bon Appetit kitchen, it's definitely Rhoda for sure
She's always so positive and supportive😊
She the MVP
"In fairness to me... I learned"
Emily is queen
Queen of ketchup.
The thing I love about Rose is that even though she is a good scientist, she’s not trying to yuck your yum. She is a full on believer of eating what you like to eat, even if it’s wrong
A scientist should be open to eveything!!
Barry: I want my mashed potato to taste like mashed potato
Epicurious editor: hold my glass
Like, wait whut?!
Most people just want to eat cream and butter
Says the guy who smokes his mashed potatoes. Right after that they show everybody reacting to how bizarre it is to smoke mashed potatoes.
@@gaslone79 It's not bizzare, he probably did this before so he knows what he's doing. Also it was only 5 minutes, doubt that changed the falvor of the potato too much. He's a pro for a reason.
@@veljkomilanovic2033 OK but Lorenzo's reaction was pretty close to what I claimed I think. Rhoda had never heard of it but seemed to like it, Rose didn't. Also the editing was funny, right after he seems to reject the idea of putting spices on potatoes because he likes mashed potatoes to taste like mashed potatoes they have him say that.
Emily said, "don't know why I'm in this video". Because we love Emily. We don't even care what she says. And because "ketchup'.
not just that, there was actually a question she was able to answer but no one else could
Emily rocks!
Ketchup is great and I really don't know why everyone thinks it's weird. It hits all the flavors and it's always worth trying on everything.
Lorenzo and Emily and Frank and Rose conference, where is it???
You should do something where you give all three different level chefs the same ingredients (Without a recipe) and see what each one comes up with! Like a mystery box
The editor: adds Lorenzo laughing out of nowhere
Me: This guy knows what we want
Nope. I hate it.
@@HelgaCavoli I mean, good for you, but OP is still right because he's in the majority.
Frank was unavailable for this video as his heirloom potatoes have not yet sprouted.
El Cheapo: he’s also raising his cow in the field next to his potatos, which happens to be right next to his grain field where he grows for his pasta
HAHAHAHAAH
hes harvesting milk from his cow too dont forget ;)
Hes also harvesting his camera man so he makes sure his camera is on focus
He hasn’t gotten the salt yet either. His Pacific seawater is still evaporating to this day.
Any time Lorenzo shows up, you know theres going to be a lot of laughing, and you're going to have a good time.
@Antonio Medeiros you're entitled to your opinion mate, but im pretty sure you're in there minority there.
Nope, not a fan.
I'm with Antonio.
@@HelgaCavoli Would you like a cookie?
Ngl, everyone basically bashing Barry for smoking his potatoes was kinda awkward.
And Emily is best. Recognized her mistake, and owned it with humor. Never change
I like that Rhoda *didn't* do that tbh, just kept an open mind to it- seems like a super nice lady.
I that was quite rude. Barry is a chef so obviously he had to show something different than just simple mash potatoes. As a proper chef he need to think outside of the box. Doesn't mean he likes to eat or serve them on regular basis.
i feel bad for barry lol i thought smoking with hay was really cool. never thought of smoking mashed potatoes. lol
I dont get why people are so negative with some of the l3 chefs method or any high class restaurant dishes
I see it as an expression of one's personal opinion. Some things are more acceptable, some more unconventional. Nothing inherently wrong with any particular technique. You do you; do what you like! (It's the same as berries in grilled cheese, ketchup on everything, right?)
Stress and anxiety: Exists
Emily and Lorenzo: “We’re about to end these men’s whole careers.”
Emily reads the comments so y'all better be on your best behavior.
"I don't know why I'm on this video either." Emily that's why everyone's love you!
When Lorenzo said "GET THE *BLEEP* OUT OF HERE"
I was like I feel you dude!
Get the bleep out of here!
I absolutely adore Lorenzo's honest reaction to the hay-smoking!!! 💜💜💜
I mean BA and Epicurious are basically sister publications, and they literally film on the same building in NY - what I’m trying to say is can we please get a BA / Epicurious crossover 🥺
Dominic Go how did you even know this omg
K.A Faye they’re both owned by Condé Nast publications (along with other magazines/sites like wired, reddit, vogue, vanity fair... basically every popular magazine ever). I think conde nast publications are all under the same building? BA is filmed on 35th floor in the One World Trade Center building, while Epicurious is on 33th(?) floor. (Anna wintour and the vogue staff are at the 25th and vanity fair 41st) Basically, BA and Epicurious moved to NY and were merged together in 2015 to form the “food innovations group” tasked with digital/print media. (technically, epicurious is under BA tho). Someone tweeted these info on Twitter, but i can’t find it anymore :(
What's BA?
@@bwalko5674 Bon appetit, another RUclips channel and a food magazine
@@erikavenelish2039 I know of that channel but not realized that BA was an abbreviation for it.
"I want my mashed potatoes taste like mashed potatoes"
*flashbacks to his hay smoker*
Epicurious throwing some shade
"if you want rustic, go rustic!"
Level 3: "I *hate* rustic."
(smokes the mashed potato with hay)
I felt bad about the hay bashing until this part
I sit just me or does Emily always seems like she either doesn't want to be here or is too excited to be here. She is also really cute.
i am surprised no one mentions fresh grated nutmeg and a little bit of white pepper as a perfect spices. maybe a european tradition only? germany, france, italy.. no mashed potatoes without fresh nutmeg
Nutmeg in mashed potatoes in Belgium? check.
Not so much in England, at least from one guy i know .
how do you make mashed potatoes WITHOUT nutmeg? Besides the potatoes and the salt, it is the only significant flavour in there!
Never tried that in the states. Got a new thing to try for dinner
I've seen white pepper recommended a lot for people who don't want the specks from black pepper, but this is a US channel, and nutmeg is quite underused here- aside from pumpkin pie and egg nog. Tarragon gets the same treatment, I've seen. I'd like to see some more of those herbs, spices, and seasonings that just never made it across.
@@gnomeandgarden6157 there is this channel ( Townsend's I believe ) that does American cooking in the 18th century and he uses a lot of nutmeg, so it's not that nutmeg didn't make it across it's just been forgotten
Honestly Emily is soo entertaining to watch 😂
I dunno... Why am I even in this video?
Because you're Emily we love you the way you are
Emily and Rose are the main reason I stuck around for this one.
Quarentine: Exists
Epicurious: *Y'all like mashed potatoes?*
Lame comment.
Next,Thank you
Yeah, like is this comment supposed to be funny?
Quarantine not Quarentine
Clash with Spartacus - OneHive 2.0 damn bro you got the whole squad laughing
All I want in mashed potatos is skin-on, chunky mash with a little roast garlic and some parsley.
If I wanted that smooth puree I'd make potato soup.
That's honestly the only right way to make it 😂
I put shallots in mine
You should try it at least once. Completely different than how I always make mine, but it was incredible. Too much work for weekday mash, though.
@@ElGeFe I've tried mashed potatos made both with a ricer and forced through a mesh, multiple times. I hate both methods. It makes it come out looking and feeling a lot like instant powdered stuff from a bag, and no amount of tweaking it or adding more butter can fix that.
THANK YOU! I just called it soup in another comment right before seeing yours. 🤣
When I get a terrible grade and have to explain to my mom : 6:43
I literally live for Barry's accent
He is from the UK after all. www.ice.edu/newyork/explore-ice/faculty-profiles/barry-tonkinson
What I've learned from making a lot of mashed potatoes.
1) Undercooking the potatoes is way worse than overcooking them. If you cook them enough, even a wire masher will yield pretty good results. But add the butter early so it doesn't go gluey.
2) If you've already added what seems like a lot of salt, and they're still bland, add more salt.
3) You can just use a _lot_ of butter, and then you won't even need the milk or cream. I like mashed potatoes that taste like butter.
I feel bad for the person with the sour mashed potatoes. They were probably really excited to see their question on there. But yeah, no idea what's going on there.
I’d love to see the level chefs cook with their spouse! How fun would it be to get the “at home” commentary!
My fiance taught me the best mashed potato recipe I have ever had, and its a "rustic" kind of mashed potato.
He uses baby red potatoes, and cream cheese, butter, and milk. Spices involve rosemary, basil, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper. When Im happy with that, I often throw in some shredded cheese, because... I really like a good cheesy mash.
He leaves the skins on, mashes them immediately after draining, without any peeling whatsoever. I think it tastes awesome to leave the skins in.
I love rhoda sm she’s so underrated ✨✨✨
When I was a kid, lumps were the mark of really good mashed potatoes... after all.. lumps don't come out of a box!
Emily: I don't know why I'm in this video either
Coz if you're not in the video people won't watch this heh
I’m just holding out for Emily to get her own cooking show
@@antzpantz I love and hate you so much for this
Now, we just need to find Lorenzo's channel, and world domination will be near its completion! Muhahaha!
@@antzpantz Frank commented on it too! I love them😭
F Sierra on what video
@@blackbutterfly233ify on her first video.
Get super expensive food and make Emily cook a dinner with it.
Like a whole $20 vs $200 swap with Frank Proto, we need this crossover
ruclips.net/video/zVo1Jr5GtDY/видео.html
In this video she swaps her cheap ingredients with a chef that bought expensive ingredients and they both try to cook with what the other one gave to them.
When are we gonna get a BA / Epicurious crossover 🥺
I love skins 😂 I think it has an earthy quality and it’s the perfect fibre for passage.
Emily is so relatable we should be friends so we could drag our own cooking together.
I feel like the standing mixers have replaced hand-held mixers/egg beaters in many kitchens, but I always used those to get my mashed potatoes smooth. Use the beaters while it's off to do some initial mashing and break up the chunks, add your butter and milk/cream, start on a low setting to incorporate the butter and milk, and increase the speed until you get the texture of mash you want.
The only reason to manually mash is if you want a chunkier end-product.
Lorenzo is like my fun, cheery grandpa that I've never met.
Hi Grandpa Lorenzo 👋👋
...Emily is such a ray of sunshine. Idk. I just really like her and her personality.
Can we do like secret ingredient show. Where the chef didn't know what they are going to cook until they open the lid. I bet Ketchup will be ever present there
Might I interest you to Iron Chef? Problem is Food Channel owns the rights to it
Petition to put Emily on every epicurious video
Emily being savy and even trolling her ownself lol xD
(you're here because you're an expert of a kind!)
Rose and Rhoda!! that's a killer combination! I wish they had a series!!
I love some freshly ground nutmeg in mine. Also butter and cream.
I would so adore to hang out with any of this people. Lorenzo is always a glee , Rose... is like a rose so nice and uff..... Emily just give her some Romanian dish to blow her mind haha, we don't to ketchup as much!
"If it's not labeled properly, ask your grocery person"
LMAO
Yeah I'm sure the minimum wage teenagers that work at grocery stores will be well equipped to answer any and all questions.
Most of the time I'm lucky if they know which products are in which aisle.
Quarantine has me in need of an emotional support Rhoda
😂 Emily is really adorable. Hope to see more of her in these videos!
I'm surprised Emily didn't add Ketchup to her mashed potatoes 😂
pls dont tell her thats an option.
@@joeldykman7591 Mashed potatoes are just fries in mashed form, so you could totally use ketchup. You could plate it fancy by having a swirl of ketchup on top
Frank wasn’t here because he still is finding the perfect potatoes in his farm.
The reason Frank isn't here because he's still planting his potatoes
He's cross breeding a strain with the perfect starch concentration
Giaroscope not just starch concentration but kinds of starch too, like the perfect amylose to amylopectin ratio
I think he’s started to breed cows for the ideal milking cow now
evil saint yes, the milk needs to have the right ratio of calcium, vitamin D, lactose, and milk fats
Emily humor for potatoes are the best. Gotta love that
I can't be the only one who finds perfectly smooth mashed potatoes to be a little boring.
I always contemplate to see if i can suck it through a straw to up things a bit more
I like having chunks in my mashed potatoes. Smooth mashed potatoes makes me think of baby food, to be entirely honest.
i like chunks but no skin
I don't think it should even be called mashed potatoes cause their not actually mashing them lol. I have always called them creamed potatoes. It's so disappointing when I'm told they serve mashed potatoes and I'm greeted with drippy potato soup with melted butter on it.
Had to eat baby food as an adult for a few weeks after jaw surgery. I stopped liking smooth mashed potatoes after that.
I never thought I’d ever see Barry smile
Lorenzo,frank and rose
Perfect comedy Q&A
We can all agree on two things. We all love Barry, and that we need him in more episodes.
Seeing Lorenzo gives me hope during this terrible times. Thank you.
Sour potatoes = greening.
Potatoes need to be kept in the dark, otherwise they will try to photosynthesize and turn green to sprout. That greening turns them sour when cooked.
Surprised Rose didn't mention this, maybe because it was described as sour rather than bitter.
Last time I was this early Daniel was putting blackberries in grilled chese
Keith Drabek stolen from the last epi video
Why must you make me remember that painful memory
I love Emily! She is on of the most relatable cooks in this entire show 💕
Experts answer your questions about potatoes. Experts. Emily is in this. Emily is an expert
God, I love when Rhoda turns up around here. Check out her IG. Her family is adorable.
First time watching questions answered. Just try to imagine my face, when Emily was the first person to pop up
No one:
Emily: Now that the ketchup is boiling we're going to add the potatoes.
Emily read the comments lmao
Emily, if you're reading this, just so you know that i love you & your beliefs 😂
(Already fixed)
@@v3nusxm00n thanks
@@musicaddict2395 np :3
I enjoy these videos a lot. Thanks for making them!
we all know why frank isn’t here obviously he was busy watering hid potatoes
Andrew Nehme ikr where is frank?
Charlie24610 in all seriousness, probably developing his RUclips channel ruclips.net/channel/UC368WO9e4BWuPYAeSIuaUsg
Emily, Rose, Roda, and Lorenzo are always AMAZING
"In fairness to me... I learned?"
Hahaha you have to love Emily
Barry: I don't know why its going sour
Also Barry: slightly sour notes from our culture
Rose: Well, ALMOST everything.
Me: 🙌🏽 🙌🏽🙌🏽
So happy to see Rhoda.
I hope Emily's back is okay.
Must hurt to carry all the weight of epicurious' video engagement
Patricia Aguilera
Yes I think so hope you like my Chanel an support. Starting 👋👋thank you
Love this and the cast of this channel!! Everyone is so sweet and really enjoy learn new ideas.
As for garlic herb mashed potatoes, I LOVE them when I'm not making a gravy. I grate fresh garlic in a stick or 2 of melted butter and simmer on low for about 20 minutes. This way I have extra for something else later...lol. add whatever fresh herbs I have or steep dried herbs in the hot milk for a few minutes. I add a bit of sour cream and ......mayo. YES I said MAYO... about a tablespoon or 2 depending on the amount if potatoes. It just adds something to the potatoes. I add it even if I'm making plain mashed potatoes. Try it. Might change your life. My family has always used mayo in out mashed potatoes and everyone loves them.
Perfect to watch while quarantined
I love Barry so much. He's so professional.
The shade being thrown, I love it
How do they pick out the most charismatic people? Whoever did the casting is a god
Hi Emily!
That's it. I just wanted to say hi since I learned you read comments......
hi
Hi
Emily&Rose💯
My personal secret for super smooth and creamy mashed potatoes... Mash them in a stand mixer! Beater attachment. The most amazing smooth potatoes! Also extremely easy and done in 30 seconds! 😊
Did just Emily uses the new smartphone:Potato
I wish JerryRigEverything just reviewed the phone durability😅🤣
Yay! I got my question for what's the best kind of mashing potatoes answered! Thanks for the tips! I usually use Russet potatos, so good for me!
Gah! I know I'm in the minority, but I do not like "creamy" mashed potatoes. My perfect version is red or gold potatoes with a lot of butter and some (not too much) salt, no milk or cream, very minimally mashed so you end up with mostly chunks. I do not peel them.
Patrician tastes
Lol. No just particular, and maybe a little eccentric.
Emily: I don't know why I'm in this video either
This is the most honest answer of 2020
You have no idea how HAPPY i am to see Queen Rhoda here!
You can tell the Level 3 is personally insulted with some of these questions
It's his first time appearing on FAQ
I already felt bad for his experience
11:05 It's down to how they get cut. You can use a french fry cutter before boiling to get small skin pieces mixed in the mashed. That would be the quickest way. I personally don't mind the skins, so i halve then third my potatoes before boiling.
Jubei Kibagami Fez Plus the nutrients are all in the skin, too plus you skip all that work of peeling them.
I think Frank still busy growing his own potato, that's why we didn't get legendary combo yet
Joe Franklin growing potato is honestly something that most chefs do… the god of cooking, frank will not do such a peasant job, he will make his own earth, and teach all human on that earth to grow potato. And then proceed to give them the finest potato seeds that human mind can’t even comprehend for them to grow
I feel bad for poor Barry. Everyone's hating on his smoking potatoes with hay.
I thought it was super creative. We can turn him into a meme, call him Smoker Barry alongside Pink Shirt Guy, Alcoholic Penny, Laughing Lorenzo, Ketchup Emily, Cheesecake Stephen, and Daddy Frank
Welcome to the meme club, Barry.
I LOVE mashed potatoes. Thank you for making this video :)
Yay! I love Lorenzo! Also Barry is pretty fun too!
I love Rose! She’s smart and relatable.
Emily. I hope you really do read the comments. I think you are the best part of this series. Rose and Lorenzo are a very close second. Hay guy is on his own. I do like Frank and Penny as Level 3's and Anthony aka Pink Shirt Guy is a good Level 2, but there is no Level 1 that can compete with Emily :)
Gah, thanks, Tracey :)
my favourite thing is when Emily starts a list, gets to two things, and realises that's it and just goes 'annanno'
