    As an excuse to have a regular family get together, my daughters, sons-in-law and I have a Competition, every two to three months we meet in each others houses and have a "Roast Off", we take it in turns to cook a roast dinner, guests then score the dinners quality, up to 20 points for the roast potatoes, and 10 points each for the meat, veg and overall ambiance. This video is my secret weapon this year.

It’s an interesting fusion of the two I haven’t seen before and I honestly love it. Feels very you (or at least what I know of you from Sorted videos lol 😅)

    Poppy, I came to know you from your association with the friends over at sorted food. Love your energy and your style.
    Today was July 4 here in America, our Independence Day and we decided that we were going to instead of doing the normal hotdogs for lunch and burgers we were gonna do steaks for dinner. And not wanting to do something as routine as a baked potato I decided to do this technique. It was delicious.
    I will definitely do it again. The steaming of the potato potatoes with the tea towel does get all of that fluffiness right on the edges just like you said.
    Thanks for sharing this . Toodles!

    Also, I saw these roasted potatoes on Sorted ages ago! (Can't even remember what video it was in, or if you were there!) I'm so happy you made this video with step by step instructions on how to make these, I'm definitely going to give them a try!
    Edit: And YT recommended their video for me to watch next, where both Ben and Barry make Roast Potatoes, with Poppy as the guest judge! LOL (Chefs vs Reddit, if anyone is curious.) They do a good job of explaining it as well, but I never got around to trying it!

    As a little info: all ovens the world over still use incandescent light bulbs, ie a glowing metallic spool in an inert gas within a glas bulb. This wire is incredibly hot, much much hotter than the oven. The reason for this : halogen bulbs might get hot, but they don't take kindly to fat on their surface. And LED lights are very susceptible to heat damage. That's why ovens still use the standard old-school light bulbs.
    I've noticed that anything I place in my oven close to the light gets darker faster and often burns while the rest is barely getting crispy. Try it yourself and see if that applies in your oven as well. Maybe even with a wireless thermometer at different spots.

    • @Dreyno
      @Dreyno 29 дней назад

      That’s why you can rise dough in the oven with the bulb. It creates enough heat to slightly warm the internal temperature enough to make the yeast work.

    With my potatoes I also add baking soda into the water when I season it. For roasting I start them on the stove with the baking dish on the hobs to really get the oil hot and get them started strong. I also mix together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, parmesan, parsley, salt & pepper and i toss them in that afterwards. It adds a really yummy umami flavor to them ☺

    Nerd alert!
    OK, here we go. Root vegetables tend to be much more dense than leafy vegetables. Bringing to the boil allows the heat to penetrate the centre at a steady rate. If you start hot, the exterior will overcook, resulting in them breaking apart and you ending up with just a watery mush with lumpy bits.
    Because of the larger surface area and lack of density, leafy vegetables are best brought to temperature rapidly so they cook without leeching out the nutrients and turning soggy.
    Here endeth the lesson.

    Long since given up cooking potatoes this way in the oven.
    Use a small oil fryer
    Boil potatoes as shown, drain and fluff up in a colinder.
    Leave to cool.
    Cook at 150c until just starting to colour.
    Remove and cool on a baking tray.
    When the rest of the meal is nearly ready, raise oil temp to 170c and cook until you achieve the colour you want.
    Drain and serve in a warm dish
    Sprinkle with salt.
    Always deliciously chrispy outside and fluffy inside.

    I seriously doubt that. Cornwall is on the Atlantic Ocean, and its salinity is 3.5%. That works out to 35 grams of salt per liter of water. I would love to see you make potatoes with 35 grams of salt per litre and then taste them.
