Molly Makes Cripsy Smashed Potatoes | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit
"I have no clue why I'm so thirsty"
*Also her*
"A whole cup of salt"
"Tossed with a bunch of anchovies"
Gohan 😂😭💀
Don't forget the salt she added to the dressing!
Lol...love it!!!
"I like a well toasted nut."
This is slowly becoming the only channel I watch
@Ivan Jimenez you should check out munchies aswell
Emmymadeinjapan is awesome! Definitely check her out :)
Tasty is good too.
Same. I never planned this or expected it....but now this is really the only office show, DIY show, cooking show, reality show I need. I'm not mad about it at all.
Thats how mental illness starts.
“Ferociously thirsty” will be my new favorite saying 😂
Careful, they'll make a t-shirt...
its from all the salt she eats
@@Aleph-Noll LMAO!
Maybe a hangover
"Way too much salt" makes you that way.
I love that even the BA Test Kitchen has a stove that has a nonworking burner that is just accepted.
I have had a non-working burner for over a decade. I know it is a safe space on the stove for cutting boards, bowls etc...
Made me feel better about my stove ngl
Appreciated the screaming sound effect when she smashed the potates
i really felt that
*20 Videos Later*
Molly: “I’m actually going to add 1 cup of water to this pan of salt”
an ENTIRE cup of water
She has a treastise on salting the potato water. Interesting read.
I love all the sassy editing in this episode. Thank you awesome editor(s)!
@@khyatiurfmaya Idk, I happened to enjoy it more the more I saw it, but maybe I'm just used to the sass in the It's Alive series XD
I loved the swirls they added at the beginning when Molly is doing a lot of hand talking... 😆
@@gracewong1138 The potatoes screaming as they were smashed was my favorite.
lets personalize the people behind this. they're not just "editors". show us some humans BA.

You forgot 'ferociously toasted nuts'.
dont forget 'momencito''

Molly, ya gotta crush yer garlic AT LEAST 20 minutes before you use it, that gets the allicin goin, y'know, it's like a 2-part epoxy or glue, when you crush the garlic it releases a compound called allicin, that's what's really good for you in garlic.
I believe.
Damnit, I heard all of that in Brad's voice and I love it!
Honestly with her grating it so finely, I think 5 minutes would probably suffice. Maybe?
In actuality, you do not want to crush or cut your garlic in advance like that. Those compounds which make up the complex flavours of garlic start to degrade quite rapidly and you will have a much weaker flavour without complexity. Always prep garlic directly before use.
Ryan Moulder allicin gets released from breaking the cell walls of the garlic, so grating it finely makes it more intense, however the half-life of allicin during cooking is so short so the pungency dissapears quickly unless the garlic stays raw
Yes. We believe.
I genuinely don't know how anyone working at Bon Appétit can remain at a healthy weight.
NYC rent means they can only afford to eat when at the test kitchen.
Honestly I'm worried about their sodium intake fat more than their weight
Cause that’s not their focus! They enjoy their lives and eat what they what when they want, and likely aren’t obsessive.
@@claudiaritzker6034 chefs/cooks are super active, usually being on their feet all day. That combined with being so busy they possibly skip meals helps
Living in NYC for many years, I walked non stop, and was so fit that I could eat all day and barely gain any weight.
I am growing ever more convinced that BA is under the sinister shadow of Big Anchovy.

A Claire video yesterday and a Molly video today. What did we do to deserve this blessing?
BA is trying to Pavlov us into accepting the slow transition out of Claire by scooting in more Molly 😭
we are not worthy of them...
@@courtnie1783 Wait where is claire going!
I don’t like molly
"it says tuna. that's my dog!" and her little smile :-) so precious
Molly with all the word shortening reminds me of Tom Haverford from Parks&Rec😅😅
Or Andy Bernard from the Office

'patates, delish'
Lemme give you the 'tails of this sitch.
Apps and 'zerts.
*makes the most beautiful potato dish ever*
*adds raisins*
Golden raisins are pure sweetness. Raisin haters should really try to get past their childhood fear of dried fruit. They're missing out.
Josephine Roe stop psycho analyzing me I just don’t like raisins 😭
@@josephineroe8424🤨 it's not fear. Raisins are like grandparents old, wrinkled, either sickly sweet or terribly sour. And meant to be seen during the holidays or for small burst during the year. (like oh It's summer lets be healthy and have a nice sweet salty snack like trail mix)
@@josephineroe8424 I love raisins, but I hate sweet fruits added into my dinner food. So no pineapple on the pizza, no apple/pineapple in the salad, and no raisins in my potatoes.
True that lol
"Smashy McSmasherson,

These edits slay me
they should totally do "A day in the BA's Test Kitchen" not only do we see the protagonists (Claire, Chris, Etc.) but as well as the supporting and background characters, that would be totally awesome!!
They could totally keep adding more people to the roster, like long-running shows do :)
Y’all talk about the Test Kitchen like these people aren’t even real lol
@@courtnie1783 I was thinking the same I'm like..... They're all chefs that contribute to the magazine, like, there's no 'background characters' lmao
If you follow them on IG they do “Test Kitchen Tuesday”
"supporting and background characters." Because this is all just magical fiction. It's not a real kitchen! It's a sound stage! Those are all ACTORS!
That intro of the water being damn incredible is so relatable - especially since the heat waves are on the rise
Wourder

Back to peeing every 20 minutes. *sigh*
I tried this today! And although I didn't find anchovies + I had to do a sour cream replacement ( plain yogurt + lemon juice + a little bit of vinegar) it absolutely, absolutely tastes amazing!! We had the whole family for dinner and they were absolutely in love with the dish that everyone had a second serve!! Bon appetit became my go-to website/youtube account for cooking! You guys are amazing +made me actually enjoy cooking because of all the science references and explanations lol!
Great comment!
The tates held your family together like a 2-part epoxy
oh good i dont like anchovies. i have tried them in recipes and cant get past it.
I’ve made them with the anchovies and it adds such a great salty flavor! I am not a fan of anchovies normally, but in this it was amazing.
5:06 Brad just casually washing his face in the sink.
“It was Andy!” Lmao I love Gaby
Yeah, Gaby needs to make more videos.
I just noticed alex always appears as soon as they finish cooking 😂
YES😂😂😂

Honestly you come off as thirsty yourself for comments.
trevax1278 😂
I went ahead and made this for dinner. Had everything at home for it but anchovies, so I used roughly the same volume of oyster sauce, and crans instead of raisins. Thank you for helping me make all of my friends make awkward sex noises from eating these!
are the cranberries really apparent in the dish? I'm not a huge fan of dried fruit components and I was wondering if it had a weak presence so that I can follow the recipe accordingly or add less or not add any at all!
@@Foolkat101 they really add a good sweetness that I think is great, but you could get by without if you don't like them. Honestly, I bet any dried fruit would be good if you had something in mind.
@@suyujin4178 Thanks for getting back to me ^_^ actually gonna stop being a baby and toss in cranberries
@@Foolkat101 how did it go?
@@ntlespino I didn't put in as much as the recipe called for so I didn't find the sweetness to be overtaking, occasionally would get bits of it and it was pleasant as long as I kept it minimal! That's just my personal preference with fruit in my savory dishes, guests thought it was a little weird but not necessarily unpleasant
Molly is amazing, but the editor(s) are gems too!
Matt Hunziker is a genius with his editing.
I was thinking that to. Whoever does the hiring there is excellent at their job.

quote of the day
Kinky
Don't forgot she likes them dark. 😏
I like how Brad and Molly essentially have their own language
Tried these for a cocktail party - FANTASTIC. Instead of boiling them I steamed them, and then followed the recipe, but added flaked Maldon Salt to finish.
Is that you in your user pic? If so, I bow down to your glorious beard m'lord.
I'm here 11 months later to say that after doing this recipe 4 times in our house since this video came out, this has easily became one of our faves. Much love! 😍

Damn that’s some good water
Gordon- it’s raw kid
-4 Subscribers with a hammer addiction the ice is FROZEN
Why did Gordon call her kid like someone on xbox live?
But seriously, boiling potatoes starting with cold water destroys the vitamins in the potatoes. So just put them directly into simmering water.
-4 Subscribers with a hammer addiction Where’s the recipe for that water though?!?
How are you everywhere???
"How much salt does it need"
Molly: "Yes!"

“How much oil does it need?”

Ah, the muffled scream of taters being smooshed.. the ferocious editing continues!
"No Molly's were harmed in this picture" 😂
When its literally a video🤣🤣🤣
Are videos not moving pictures?
Are we all just gonna ignore the sound effect at 2:53?
rip
Hahaha!!! I came to comments just to see who else noticed. I had to replay that to make sure 😂😂
A classic Wilhelm scream. George Lucas would be proud.
I noticed it too!!! I thought I was the only one. Made me laugh so hard!
11:46
molly gushing about that glass of water in the very beginning is SUCH a mood. there’s nothing like a glass of ice water when you’re “ferociously thirsty”
I was concerned Molly was going to forget to season those anchovies with salt.
Am I allergic to walnuts? Yes
Can I eat this recipe? No
Will I still watch this whole video? Yes
Theater Kid 101 Ah a fellow walnut allergy haver. We are few.
You could substitute, maybe use pine nut? Cashew would also be good.
You can eat the smashed potatoes with just the sour cream I love crispy potatoes that I would just eat the potatoes lol
@@cornwallis9173 It will still be 90% as good without the 'chovies!
I will raise your walnuts and add potatoes. Intolerance, not allergy though.
“Ferociously thirsty” then puts a cup of salt in potatoes... i wonder if they are connected 😂
Great vid as usual
Molly: For some reason I'm ferociously thirsty right now.
Me: Is that Andy behind you?
Said it before & I'll say it again: we're all a little gay for Andy.
scrambledegg81 I’m a lot of gay for Andy
meloD30 💀💀
2:54 that potatoes being murdered sound effect had my dying
OH MY LORD! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this recipe! These are...no kidding...the best potatoes I've ever had. It has everything. Smoky, sweet, salty, sour, umami...and the various textures! Wow wow wow! I am so full but I can't stop eating them! Thank you, Molly!
I wanna hug Alex. He never cooks anything, but he's chubby and adorable from eating all the good stuff.

Oh don't think we didn't catch that Willhelm scream there sneaky editor
Sounds like a wilhem scream in the beginning, but it's different.
noob
The band?
Ok can confirm the other 2 people filming this day were:
Carla banana bread
Chris chocolate chip cookie and donuts
Andy probably prefers savory to sweet
how do you know?
this... is the comment i was looking for
AANNGGGIIEE people are wearing the same clothes in all 3 videos
Love the episode.
The burner that ticks needs the ceramic cap re-seated into proper position. It's possible it was jostled or swapped with a smaller ceramic cap from another burner during cleaning. 10 second fix.
100% what I thought I never get them on perfect first time round after popping them in the dishwasher.
Damn I'm like 3 BA-recipes-I-want-to-make behind, I need to start cooking!
Y'all are actually making these recipes? I never go through with it
It happens to all of us Xavier
Me: hears something falling. Thinking, it was probably Brad.
'IT WAS BRAD'
I knew it
Andy
Brad seems like the kind of guy who does all of his own home improvement and car work, even if it takes 4x as long.
Andy crashing this video at the end to catch a bite is pure gold.
Someone needs to do a compilation of Molly’s abbreviated words
Whoever this new editor is, he/she is stepping it up big time
I’m having a crisis between “Pep” and “Pepper pepper pepper”
SAMEEE
You could do a Molly/YSAC mashup by saying pep pep pep.
I love the way she guides her recipes.. gonna try this!
We can neither confirm nor deny if brad is fixing the tiles lol
Molly is a Reedeet-deet-dee-dew away from becoming Andy Bernard from The Office.
Amazing Smashy McSmashed Potates BTW. Will definitely try them out.
She could change her dogs name to "Big tuna"
did she just said :"with all my wal-noots?" 4:12
Molly just transcended into the Brad Realm !
The way she says um-kay at 9:44 is Brad Realm too.
She suddenly turned Swedish.
BA editor starts to step up their game to all their vids and I'm not mad bout it
I REALLY want to see Molly & Andy do an episode together tbh
The Left called and said let us help
This is the first time in my life I’ve achieved smashed instead of exploded and/or slightly squished potatoes - thank you so much for the “other pan” technique! I haven’t even tried the walnut sauce yet, and it looks absolutely phenomenal, but I’m so excited to have had smashed roasted potatoes with supper! Thank you!
Yes! I was itching for another Molly pasta video!
wait a minute...
...
It's cool, I'll just watch this while eating pasta.
I love when Molly shares her language with us!
New entries in the Bazictionary today!! 😉
funny, Personally I feel faintly insulted, as if a teenager is trying new words on its parent.
"No idea why I'm so thirsty"
Later
"I'm gonna put an entire cup of salt in this recipe"
More later
"Lets put some more salt in this!"
Drinks cup of salt
"Mmm this water is delicious... but needs a pinch of salt."
I love this recipe. I make it EVERY Wednesday. And I will continue making it EVERY Wednesday until the day I die. Just wanted to stop by and let you know how much I love it.

why am i even watching this at 1 AM tucked in bed ready to sleep???? now im hungry AF
I don't know if different editors edit these or if the editors are just really good. But depending on the chef, the edits are slightly different and thats really cool.
Cycl10ps it’s different editors
Cycl10ps also different camera men
I don’t know what is looking more like a snack. Those potatoes or Andy looking buff in this video😍
I don't know who had more fun making this video, Molly or the post-production editor.
*I will use "ferociously thristy" to describe myself in my Tinder profile.*
Super excited to try this recipe out also very glad that no Mollys were hurt in the making of this video
"It says tuna,, :) ..that's my dog." - Molly
me watching this, whispering to myself: Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, Saltfatacidheat ....
I’m watching this... and I’m thinking you’ve lost your mind. And I keep watching, because everyone stops to look at a train wreck. And then you finished it off - and you plated it up. And now it’s 1am. And I’m wondering if I’ve LOST my mind, because dang !!! I want to make that right now. That looks so good. Yum. - Ok. I’m gonna wait for lunchtime today. ✌🏻❤️🇿🇦 Cape Town, South Africa
Now I want to know who were the other 2 people filming recipes that day lol
@@towo0w0 I do love any form of fried potato, but I'll take a chocolate chip cookie.
I do remember Chris not quite liking the cookies (30 batches, 20 rounds of testing), but I think he's the type who is never quite satisfied with anything they do.
@@towo0w0 I admit that I just rewatched those videos checking on what everybody was wearing 😅 conclusion: Chris' CCC yes, but no aloo gobi nor peanut rice. 😉
I'm such a fan of the editing in BA's videos. So much fun.
Molly's recipes be like:
2 pounds of cream cheese
4 slices of thicc bacon.
1 cup of salt
bon appetit.
I've made this dish about 5 times now and it's always a hit. I zest at least 3-4 garlic cloves and add at least 4-5 anchovies too lol. Simply because I love both of those ingredients. Golden raisins are not everyone's cup of tea, but when I chose to add it, it lended a really nice sweetness. Love this dish! Thank you Molly
Oh yeah, even people who aren't a fan of potatoes (I know, it's blasphemous) complimented the dish!
Molly and Carla recipes are the leading cause of hypertension in Bon Appetit subscribers
*among people who don't taste their food before seasoning
One of the most important lessons I've learned from Bon Appetit, is that MY pinch of salt and THEIR pinch of salt are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
I used to use an actual tiny pinch. haaa
the editing is fun in this video :-)
She's thirsty because of all that salt.
That is a lot of salt and oil jesus christ.
ashually! (with nerd lisp) salt makes you hungry, not thirsty.
Konsultarvode no, it makes you thirsty
@@Jamesbradley001 it was a joke. thats why he added the nerd lisp thing
Michael DePew i don't think potato can absorb all that salt in the water.
Molly @ 0:48 "What's not to love"
Most of us answering at home, "The Anchovies"
Oh please
I love anchovies however they are also very salty.
Try using chicken bouillon and garlic instead of just salt... hint... Add the bouillon till it tastes a little too strong and 1-2 cloves per potato depending on size of potato. Then mash and add lots of butter :). And serve. Bomb!
Molly's presentation was absolutely outstanding. Super enjoyable, easy to follow answer surely delish! Well done!
lol I love the camera crew😂👌
"Very cool sizzle"
Wow BA just blessing us with content lately
I love how the water comes out of the tap all non-aerated and beautiful (when molly pours water into the potato-filled pan) first minute of video
Great recipe. Four suggestions.
1) It's not the "little pieces" of walnuts that create a burning problem during cooking, but rather the crumbs that result when you chop them. Suggestion: pick through the cut walnuts by hand and leave the crumbs behind.
2) 450 is a hot oven and the bottoms of the potatoes can burn, even if you are using a professional baking sheet. Suggest that you flip the potatoes about halfway through the roasting time. You still get really crispy potatoes without burned bottoms.
3) The raisins are great, but I like the earlier suggestion of replacing the raisins with something else sweet. I'm going to try a fig jam or spread.
4) The salted water for boiling the potatoes is no big deal. Thomas Keller long ago extolled the benefits of salting for veggie prep.
Thanks for a wonderful dish!
this is your daily reminder to have a glass of water! have a good day !
WHY DIDNT THEY DO THIS IN THE MAKING PERFECT VIDEO??? 😂😂
This is the comment I came to find. A++ my friend.
4:55 Brad fixing something on the wall and then washing his face... are we in his bathroom?
Molly is the sweetest, i laughed when she had them zoom in on her necklace
