I've made this dish a few times and it's delicious! Definitely add more chicken stock and let cook a little longer; the longer it cooks the more you get of that thyme/butter/ flavor and it's just so good! Thanks Chef John!
I've just made them. And I have to tell you, I've never thought that you can make potatoes so tasty. Except for French fries and chips, obviously. Thank you for the recipe. It's flawless.
I actually REALLY like this guy’s voice! How rude to belittle his voice when he is nice enough to share a great recipe with all! So many entitled and ungrateful people...what a better world it would be if you all just grew up.
This was one of the first foodwishes videos I watched, and ~2 years later I finally made them... I played it pretty fast and loose but they still came out delicious! Served with broccoli, garlic green beans and sour cream. Good enough to be a centre piece in a vegetarian meal :)
I'm not sure if you are aware but these are cooked with chicken stock so if your or your friends' diet does not allow for animal products do not use chicken stock. You can replace it with vegetable stock. I kind of want to try using mushroom stock but I am not sure if they well taste that great since the flavor of the potato and mushroom stock together might turn out too earthy.
Made these for the wife and I tonight. Served up with lemon-fill glazed baked haddock and steamed string beans. The taters were excellent. I served em up with a little dollop of chivey sour cream on top of each one.
Forget the mouthwatering food you showcase, you have a most wonderful voice and manner and I love coming across these old gems and giving them a whirl also chuckling at your dry wit. Bravo old chap! Best of Britain to you.. on this cold miserable morning, I know what my family will be eating later. Thanks to you.
Oh mama...maybe some candied carrots or a vegetable medley? Oh I bet you roasted some veggies with the prime rib...giving that fonde at the bottom some extra flavor. Deglaze with a little wine? Maybe finish it with some butter? Ohhhhhhh baby someone is doing it right...
I made this tonight with salmon. This was the third time I did this recipe, I believe, and third time was the charm. It was amazing this time. I got the crisp, the creamy potato, and the flavour of the seasoning and stock. It was all perfect! Thank you! 😊
As a brit, and somebody who enjoys cooking I'd like to offer some small wisdom. 1: The butter. Use unsalted when it comes to frying, also when you add it, remove the excess oil, but leave a little in there. That little bit will stop the butter from burning. 2: Experiment with your own seasonings. Very it by what you're serving this with. If you're serving these with lamb, use rosemary garlic. Thyme goes well with chicken dishes. But experiment, find what works for you.
+wowfood Oil does not prevent butter from browning or burning. Butter browns because it contains milk solids. To avoid this, use clarified butter/ghee.
This is the first recipe I watched by CJ many years ago and I've been a fan ever since. Always informative, clever and fun. And I too, came back to make sure I've been doing it right. Thanks Chef John!
Thank you for your work. Your style of teaching really has changed my cooking style. No, I do not religiously follow your work, but you are the base from which I personalize the recipes.
I have made these several times and Love Them !! I've had friends tell me that these are better than regular baked potatoes !! You have to try them ! Great for trying to impress guests !
I made these a couple of days ago and they were OUT OF THIS WORLD! I did not use russets! I used yellow potato’s I bought from Costco! They were so silky and decadent and flavorful!
for the last 5 years i've been using your recipe for Fondant Potatoes at every holiday season potluck; these potatoes received their own Thank You card.
I like potatoes cooked in bacon grease with salt, black pepper, red pepper, and garlic. Cooked until crispy on outside and soft in middle. Never tried frying them and then baking them with stock. That's like another dimension of flavor. That's kust making me hungry!
" you can never have enough potato recipes". Chef John, you my kind of guy. I am part Irish and I do so love potatoes and it is my favorite veggy side for fish.
I love making these for clients - most of them have never seen or heard of them and are amazed by the texture and creaminess of them. Plus they look very elegant when plating them.
Hi Chef John, Thank you for taking the time to film these wonderful recipes and for sharing. I so appreciate all the time it takes out of your schedule to do this. I also understand because I have taught fine art workshops for years and paint colors are like recipes and preparing for a demo takes so much time. If people would take the time to watch...take notes and learn a little on their own they would appreciate all that goes into doing these recipes....it’s not just a few hours....it’s a combination of many years of learning to be a chef....tricks of the trade and trial and errors. Thanks to your help and guidance a lot of that is eliminated for us making the process quicker and worry free. I’m learning to be a better cook and enjoying the process because of you. Please keep sharing!
Thank you for sharing this! My family now asks for potatoes this way. And I usually have to come back by the video to refresh little specifics. I've made them a dozen times and they're always great. Thank you
Gonna make this tomorrow! Also thank you for being such an inspiration. I graduated culinary school last year and am now starting my first foray into fine dining by working at a Michelin starred restaurant. I love looking up your videos when I'm in a rut or need some fresh perspective. Thank you for all that you do.
made this for my family last night but added 1 clove of smashed garlic w the butter and thyme. turned out delicious. definitely gonna make these more often! thank you!
I know what you mean becaUSE SOMETIMES HE SPEEDS UP AND GETS LOUDer.... and.... then.... not. (I do a lot of voiceover work and sometimes have to use other people who don't do it at all and I have to coach them. He kinda sounds like someone coached him on one segment of a video, and he just ran with ONLY that feedback.) Criticism aside, I can hardly fault him. I STRUGGLE to sound enthusiastic in videos. Just when you THINK you're giving it your all, you hear the playback and think, "I might be dead".
I cooked these fondant potatoes a couple of nights ago. I followed the instructions of Chef John as he outlined. These potatoes turned out perfect. They were very soft on the inside and the outside was golden brown and crunchy. I'm definitely tired of the same old mash potatoes I cook and I am adding this recipe to my collection. I will be making these more often. Thank you Chef John for taking the potato to a whole new level.
He’s not “on” anything. Most likely he’s from Wisconsin or spent too much time there as a kid. If it wasn’t ‘sconsin, it could have been Illinois, or even worse, Minnesota or North Dakota. (I’ve lived in all these places growing up and I’m still having to work with a voice coach 50 plus years later at least once a year to keep certain enunciation and speech patterns tamped down.) Great channel with good, informed, and inspiring content for home cooks who want more variation in the dishes they serve. His accomplishments are amazing and many as a Professionaal Chef and teacher: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mitzewich Grateful that he takes the time to share his experience, knowledge and wisdom with all the rest of us.
He's from upstate New York and has lived in So Ca for over 25 years. His early videos have none of the inflection or trademarks of his later videos. He has made hundreds if not thousands and he has become a real entertainer. But I'm not complaining. I dig his showmanship and his recipes are fantastic.
Ingredients for 6 fondant potatoes: (from website) 2 tbsp vegetable oil 3 large russet potatoes (other varieties will not work as well) salt and pepper to taste a knob of butter (a 2 or 3 tablespoon size chunk) 4 thyme sprigs 1/2 cup chicken broth or stock, more if needed *Roast at 425 F until tender, about 30 minutes
i remember mum would make these for dinner parties when i was young. i got them once in a blue moon, but i think it was enough work that she reserved it for special occasions (Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc). I'm actually making them tomorrow - can't wait.
As an 'old school', mama-taught, true southern cook, Paula Deen's recipes comes the closest to matching my personal style in the kitchen.

As for this particular recipe of Fondant Potatoes, I'd never heard of this recipe until I asked my precious loving brother to suggest a dish for me to cook for him. I'm going to try my best to make them look and taste as good as John's. Please keep up the good work, and thank you, John!
I'm making this tonight at midnight, everything is prepped I just have too much to do between now and then it looks like work and I know after I eat these potatoes I'm going to sleep like a baby
I just made these with his other recipe for Grilled Greek Chicken and wow these are the best potatoes I've ever had, phenomenal! Thanks for all you do Chef John.
I quit watching during this episode. His voice is just too annoying. I wonder how deliberate it is -- is he trying to sound 'different' or something? He just sounds like an idiot.
As a long time fan of this potato recipe, we kicked it up this year by adding rosemary, shiitake mushrooms and Parmesan cheese. Took a great dish straight out of this world! Thanks again!
I know this post is old by youtube standards, but thank you for this potato idea. I going to apple core the center & add a slice of bacon with jalapeno jack cheese to mine. Yum
Optics R US... would you be able to fit the bacon and cheese in the center? Please elaborate...it sounds so good. I like my bacon crispy. How would you do it? I love potatoes, like this basic recipe, also your way of tweaking it. Maybe you should do a video.
I've prepared these potatoes a couple of times. The second time for a group of people, about 18. No one had ever heard of Fondant potatoes. They were a hit. I used three cast iron skillets to prepare them and made 5 batches of 6-7 in each skillet. Time consuming but worth every minute.

a "knob" of butter is slightly bigger than an imperial devonshire slice but always less than a royal westinghouse cube

Indubitably!
In other words , about 4 smidges .

I've made this dish a few times and it's delicious! Definitely add more chicken stock and let cook a little longer; the longer it cooks the more you get of that thyme/butter/ flavor and it's just so good! Thanks Chef John!
Yeah, I'd normally put stock until halfway up the potatoes.
You sound so happy in your voiceover of you making these. I love it when a person enjoys the fruits of their labor.
Its not a fruit; its a potato of his labor.
Maybe he talks like that because he's dead inside
Stephanie Desiderio
Stephanie Desiderio yeah lets just hope he dosent go to the point of chef Louis from "the little mermaide"
Potatoes are vegetables, not fruit.

It wouldn't be Chef John without him speaking like he does. Plus it helps slide in the subtle humor.
Cooking these for Valentines Dinner tomorrow night... So excited to surprise my wife..
Turned out excellent. Thanks
Hi Danny ~ Did your partner enjoy the potatoes?
esquibelle She loved them, had them with Fillet Mignon and zucchini
Danny Hague did ya get some, distant family member?
Extra points for making them heart-shaped

I'm not sure if you are aware but these are cooked with chicken stock so if your or your friends' diet does not allow for animal products do not use chicken stock.

I kind of want to try using mushroom stock but I am not sure if they well taste that great since the flavor of the potato and mushroom stock together might turn out too earthy.
Victor Marin I have only ever made them with veggie stock, in fact I've made these vegan and they're still phenomenal.
That's why I even bothered to watch this. I thought... " I bet I could make this vegan!"
"Or even better" try not being a close-mined douche.
calonstanni haha, right? Like... I wouldn't trick my vegan friends into eating animal product because I'm not a shitty friend.
Doing my first attempt at these right now, except I had no thyme so I used rosemary and sage...OMG it smells so good!
You just literally caused WWIII.
Honestly after trying both I feel like rosemary is better than thyme for this recipe but that’s just imo
Rosemary and potatoes go together like Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg.
I adore this guys voice & personality he makes me feel like I can cook any recipe 😫💜
"I just get you close, you got to figure out the rest" -- LOVE THIS!
Leila Mars why am I going “that’s what she said”?? I’ll show myself the door.

This is my first ever Chef John recipe which got me started watching Chef John seven years ago! Still good.
Have made this several times with minor variations each time. My wife thinks I am a culinary genius. Thanks for the recipe.
What?! You aren't tellling us your variations? Does one of them save the skin? Please share.
They practically make themselves, these would be lovely with a prime rib, with pan dripping thickened just a bit, and drizzled over.....WINNER !!!
Thickened, or just reduced?
Oh mama...maybe some candied carrots or a vegetable medley? Oh I bet you roasted some veggies with the prime rib...giving that fonde at the bottom some extra flavor. Deglaze with a little wine? Maybe finish it with some butter? Ohhhhhhh baby someone is doing it right...
Hey Chef John I think you are personally responsible for bringing this dish back out of the 1800s it is delicious. Thank you!
I made this tonight with salmon. This was the third time I did this recipe, I believe, and third time was the charm. It was amazing this time. I got the crisp, the creamy potato, and the flavour of the seasoning and stock. It was all perfect! Thank you! 😊

+wowfood Oil does not prevent butter from browning or burning. Butter browns because it contains milk solids.
To avoid this, use clarified butter/ghee.
That is not correct. Try it some time for yourself. No dogma needed.
Also, grapeseed oil and coconut oil are better than vegetable oil. Canola oil should be banned. Do the research and find out why.
wowfood dill with the potatoes when making salmon... Oh yes... Thank you for the extra tips.
Looks really easy. As potato loving as Americans are I have no idea why we haven't adopted this method. This is the first I've ever heard of them.
Urrcreavesh good things take time.
it takes more than a couple of minutes! most Americans have such a short attention span that they give up!!
I made these as a side dish for dinner tonight and impressed my whole family. They turned out as yummy as they look!
I made this for dinner last night, and my family loved them. 💕🇨🇦

Probably be really good with scallops, maybe with a spritz of lemon juice and a side of roasted green beans?
I just made these with his other recipe for Grilled Greek Chicken and wow these are the best potatoes I've ever had, phenomenal! Thanks for all you do Chef John.
Always happy for another way to eat butter. They DO look like giant scallops, by the way.
Butter and potatoes, how could you go wrong?
Oh WOW!!!❤️❤️❤️
These looks sooo good that I would have them every day!! I just passed this on to my husband whole loves new ideas for cooking!!❤️
Your voice just starts out low and finishes high all the time haha
NicksDomain101 watxh his old videos
Yes. It's very annoying. I quit watching because of it.
and yet here you are.
I quit watching during this episode. His voice is just too annoying. I wonder how deliberate it is -- is he trying to sound 'different' or something? He just sounds like an idiot.
I believe it is deliberate. It sets him apart. Mayme in a good way or maybe not.
As a long time fan of this potato recipe, we kicked it up this year by adding rosemary, shiitake mushrooms and Parmesan cheese. Took a great dish straight out of this world! Thanks again!
I know this post is old by youtube standards, but thank you for this potato idea. I going to apple core the center & add a slice of bacon with jalapeno jack cheese to mine. Yum
Sean Soubiea How did it turn out? :)
The French roll in their graves !! ha !
Seagulls! Stop it now! .. i didnt even tried the Original and all these "i do." "in my country.." ideas sound AWESOME .
Great, thanks. Love your voice.
Optics R US... would you be able to fit the bacon and cheese in the center? Please elaborate...it sounds so good. I like my bacon crispy. How would you do it? I love potatoes, like this basic recipe, also your way of tweaking it. Maybe you should do a video.
ME: I need to get up at 5:00 am
Also me: Just one more Food Wishes video...
Best part of the video, "Lets just listen for a little bit (prods potato with fork)........ Oh yeah"
I started searching the comments for this.
I've prepared these potatoes a couple of times. The second time for a group of people, about 18. No one had ever heard of Fondant potatoes. They were a hit. I used three cast iron skillets to prepare them and made 5 batches of 6-7 in each skillet. Time consuming but worth every minute.
