4 Levels of Mashed Potatoes: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 ноя 2019
- We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - an amateur, a home cook, and a professional - to make their version of mashed potatoes, just in time for Thanksgiving. Once no 'tater had been left unsmashed, we asked a food scientist to review their work. Whose mashed potatoes were worthy of seconds?

"I'm level one, it's okay if it looks terrible" Emily is the only person we can ever truly relate to
Not me. That's why a lot of cooking shows ended because people just wanted to watch Rachael Ray make casseroles.
Not me either, I do not put ketchup in my meal
Nah, fam. You should strive to be a level two at least.
Me neither. I do my food everyday, try new recepies, used to cook for my brothers... I'm actually a level 2 :)
Ana Espriella u suck
Level 3 Chef: So i planted these potatoes 15 years ago in Japan for this dish.
Shahid Kazi I feel like Japan is such a random country lol
@Nicolaus Volentius Where are you from? Your name looks Greek 🤔
milks his own cow
😂😂😂
@Nicolaus Volentius Is that in Greece? Cause I think there's a Sonoran desert in Mexico/ the US
Level 3 chef : Don't run to your nearest field for the hay, you might not get the flavor profile you're looking for
How did he even say that with a straight face?!
Like really?!!? *I had to come to the comments to ensure I heard him correctly. Then, where does one buy hayyy to cook with? And, my folks farmed + cook. Never heard of such along with 36 hours.* Diablo.
Welcome to British humour :)
He's British
The thing I’m trying to understand is if he was even trying to be funny. The wording says yes, but his demeanor says no lol
🤣🤭😂🙆🏾♀️ really why I run to my nearest field he has a passive humor
Actually, I tried smoking mashed potatoes after watching Barry do it because I was curious and it tasted pretty damn good.
Good to see someone try something from level 3, appreciate the effort.
@@zanetseng6779 I use Frank’s recipes al the damn time and my friends are still annoyed with me bringing my own pickled stuff/ sauces and so on
I like to use smoked cheddar cheese in mine. It’s awesome
Braver than me! Hope you got the right hay! lol
did you run to your nearest field to find it?
“Honey, when will the mashed potatoes be ready?”
“Oh not that long - I just have to let the butter culture for 36 hours.”
"Why did I marry you in the first place?"
*"cause u just freaking love my mashed potatoes"*
Are they even really mashed potatoes at this point? I mean there's smoked hay, smoked salt, chicken wing and truffle sauce, wine, home made butter? I get the feeling he spent 16 years of his career making the one batch of potatoes. lol.
Best comment and thread by far! Kudos...still laughing
@@starlakelsey2782 Until You came
When the joke "level 3 chef makes his own butter" become a reality
@LMAO LMAO Dead joke.
wait a moment, we don't all make our own butter? But where do you get yours from?
lol to be fair, I’m sure his mashed potatoes are pretty good
@Dreadnaught1985 the ally down the block
Were I live we also make homemade butter best way to have it!
The chef lost me when he brought out the hay.
Yeah he lost me at hey too
I thought this comment was a joke, until he literally brought out hay 😭
Yeah, three days to make mashed potatoes seems a little much.
He’s so pretensions
Na uh, he said not just an ordinary hay haha still wondering what’s special with that hay
Barry roasting his mashed potatoes with hay is probably one of the most British things I have ever seen in my life.
No one does this
professional chef of 16 years: Do NOT add them to warm water
Emily: aight water's boiling perfect time to add potatoes
And he's right
@@Rhakio yeah, he's right but we all were happy eating the ones plopped into boiling water our whole lives.
I've never seen anyone add potatoes to already boiling water... What?!
Yes but thank god she use smaller type of potatoes so it is not ruined
Damn right, but now I know butter....I mean better.
Level 3 chef: “I’m gonna add some smoked moonsalt. This is the salt gotten from the MOON in a rare volcanic incident at the beginning of the UNIVERSE!!”
Also, I need to simmer the potatoes in water from the mystic waterfall in one of neptune's moons
Lmfaoo
smoked maldon salt not moon salt!
Oladimeji Agbaje
“Gotten” ? When you ridicule someone it’s important not to show that your English grammar is sub par
Oladimeji Agbaje lol
Emily's mashed potatoes are the type that I would do on a regular day.
Lorenzo's I would make on a Sunday night or decadent dinner.
Barry's mashed potatoes - - I will never make, not once, not even in my dreams.
Agreed. Not just because they would take forever and be stupid-expensive for potatoes, but because they look like baby food and I don't want smoky potatoes.
I might have to try mashing them through a strainer once to see how much difference it actually makes, but I doubt I'll ever be hay-smoking my mashed potatoes
😂
@@durendenmp812 Thomas Keller of The French Laundry uses the technique of putting the potatoes through a tamis as was seen here. Trying to find La Ratte variety of fingerling potatoes isn't easy, but Yukon gold is close. Further, you don't need to peel ahead of time because the skins won't pass through the tamis
It's definitely the best method because using a food processor or mixer makes them super gummy.
Level 1: Mashed potatoes your mom makes.
Level 2: Mashed potatoes your local popular restaurant makes.
Level 3: Mashed potatoes you will only ever see on TV shows, movies or very expenssive restaurants
Level 3 chef: “I only boil my potatoes in the purified waters of lake Minnetonka”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol XD no! u forgot that ur not suppose to boil the potatoes, u need to simmer them!
Ahahahahaaha 😭😭😂😂 I'm dead! Dave Chappelle is absolute genius for this.
Heh heh...
Step 1: Wait for doves to cry
My favorite thing about this series is how a chef will always say to never do something, and it will immediately cut to one of the others doing that exact thing every time
The literal only reason I watch this
The shade
Lorenzo always does this sometimes the level 1 chef doesn't make the mistake
Saying that I always cook the way he cooks
Best example is in the cheesecake one with the egg yolk conundrum.
Level 1 Guy: I got yolk in my whites so imma have to keep trying till I get pure whites
Level 3 guy: just use some shell to get out any excess yolk
Yes except hers were mini potatoes
Legend has it Frank's currently cultivating the potatoes for the mashed potatoes
I was scrolling through the comments hoping someone would say something about Frank and babe you did not disappoint 😂
my guy hes making the seed😂
Now now, I’m sure he’s procured his potato’s from a special elite exclusive potato dealer
@@peggyling8144 how am I seeing this 10 months later!?! Thank you for the compliment bub.🤍
All levels: Mashed potatoes are a great side dish!
Me: Mashed potatoes are the main dish.
True
Except Lorenzo. He said he'd eat it for Sunday dinner. Love his honesty.
Your Irish passport is in the post 👍
Buttery mashed potatoes… mmmm….
THANK YOU
Level 10 Chef: "So first we're going to start by making our own frying pan."
After we build our own forge.
Level 10 chef: "I'm actually a part time black smith"
Something alex the french guy would say...
I’m also a woodworker and we will make our own table and cutting board
And we are also quarrying for our own iron.
Level 3 chef: “some people use cheese in their mashed potatoes, I use dragon scale dust.”
...and these glowing shrooms found by my truffle hunting pig under a talking tree in an enchanted forest.
Also level 3 chef: btw im using hell fire to cook this.
I use a little splash of monuyomnû jamjjiionlkmonzæ.
Don’t forget the ceramic bowl I personally made using the clay I mined in my backyard
People use regular salt, I tend to use salt from mermaid's tear
1:30 I was told by my mum, anything that grows underground goes into cold water then is brought up to a simmer and anything above ground goes into already simmering water.
I've had zero issues with throwing potatoes into hot water and roiling boiling away.
OMG I’ve never heard this in my 48 years on this earth. I’m totally going to remember this. 😁
Barry: You never boil potatoes
Lorenzo right after that: my potato’s have been boiling
Level 3 Chef: So, now that the mashed potatoes are cooked and sieved lets take a day and a half to make butter.
You could culture your butter way before you start cooking it.
"Stop stating the obvious"
Fancy Name it was a joke
If you have iq above 20 you make it in advance
So does that mean we are not eating freshly made potatoes?
I'm saying!
Smoking your potatoes with hay is beyond extra.
Look at his eyes, I'm sure potatoes aren't the only thing that had been smoking.
@@stp9640316 😂😂😂
If I wanted my food to taste like grass, I would have gone outside to eat a bag of lawn clippings
@@ichigopockychan I'm sure you do that on a daily basis.
If smoking in hay is beyond extra then making your own butter is literally doing the most. And then he comes with the truffles.
Everyone who is not understanding the use of hay: before all the non smoky methods of lighting fire came in, people used dried wood, manure as fuel. It used to add a flavor to all their meals. That's what he is aiming to replicate with the specialty hay.
I think it's a genius idea.
I don't think I want my mashed potatoes to taste "grassy". A bit like, we didn't use to have indoor plumbing, but now we do. Also, I just couldn't be bothered, for mashed potatoes. I'd do it for lamb or something, maybe ... occasionally. But not my potatoes.
It is a genius idea. A few months ago I had hay smoked carrots as a side dish, really fabulous. The hay does not give a 'grassy' taste particularly it just really seemed to enhance the carrots. It inspired me to buy a small stove-top smoker and the process isn't a big deal. Very easy. Hay and other materials for smoking are very easy to find online at speciality shops. I've been more used to smoked meats and fish, it was a revelation to have smoked veg.
Yeah. People make fun of things they don't understand or are not rich enough to replicate lvl. 3 recipes.
I'm not either but I'm not clowning on Frank for making absurdly expensive version of dishes. They are better.
Barry is my favorite, but I think all three are probably valid, although I would never use McCormick instant gravy. I'm not against taking certain shortcuts, but I do draw the line at that one. I see absolutely nothing wrong with being "hoity-toity". People who object to this just don't have the time, but it is wrong to disparage those who do take the time to make a labor-intensive dish.
Barry’s mashed potato’s still look depressing to me. I prefer Lorenzo’s.
……those Level 3 potatoes look bomb af. How in the world is that a side dish??? I’d just have those for a main dish low key.
you say that, but you haven't seen his lobster ravioli
Level 1: Mom makes a side
Level 2: Thanksgiving dinner
Level 3: Feeding the Queen
Is the queen even fancy enough for these potatoes
The queen would have to wait 36 hrs for the butter to cure if she wanted him to make them. Unless he happen to have some on hand.
Exactly--the pro level was ridiculous
He literally used Truffles on a mashed potatoes dish...
Melinda C or they could just tell him to cook it in advance so the butter would be ready
This guy butters his potatoes at a cellular level
Jackson Konty mashed potatoes are my favorite food
Jimbo Billybob I will Live on a diet of mash potatoes
Which guy
Mr. Zaku Lorenzo
@@Shadkow my body consists of mashed potatoes
It's so satisfying when what they're saying aligns with one another
I would love to see a series of this but with all 3 chefs given and limited to the same ingredients. They can use their tools like the ricer and sieves and such. I will add they can use as much of an ingredient they want, just they can't have specialized ingredients. Example being they all have a gravy packet, but they can use any ingredients in any amount on hand to improve it.
I feel like Lorenzo makes every dish in existence once a week
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Lorenzo's week lasts for at least an year.
Exactly what I thought lmao
Dammit, you beat me. I was going to say "I think we know Lorenzo's weekly menu by now." He does totally say "I make this about once a week/every ____ day of the week."
Imagine how great it would be to eat at Lorenzo’s house. Like he invites you over to eat.
Lets be honest, when Emily didn’t use instant powder mashed potatoes, she exceeded level one........until she pulled out the gravy
I actually kind of liked her's the best until that nasty gravy! LOL
Allen Jasper Aquino take the gravy out because any gravy is overrated and imo she had the best potatoes
What's wrong with that? Instant gravy is pretty good as long as you pick the right brand.
Allen Jasper Aquino She got Forward aerialed right back down to level 1
Allen Jasper Aquino right I was hyping her up until I saw that gravy packed
I loved how the level 1 chef used a packet of gravy, and the level 3 chef made a homemade chicken truffle sauce!!
Yes, that is the point.
Lorenzo has like a little curl to the ends of his mouth that always make him look like hes smiling like a cat. I think its adorable actually.
I have that and I hate it
“I’m Emily and I’m a level 1 chef”
“I’m Lorenzo and I’m a level 2 chef”
“imbarryfromtheinstitideofculinaryeducation-“
Breaker of eggs mother of gravy and khaleesi of the great pallet
That was funny. I take the Level 2 guy, by the way. Bacon goes with everything.
@DennisKwan807 Wow, really? Totally couldn't tell from the fact that he mentioned being a professional chef for 16 years. :)
Knowing the sheer intensity of physical labor and long hours that a culinary education demands makes me really respect Barry.
Omgg! That's what I actually heard
At least everyone at Emily's house got to eat before they died of starvation
So true! We died from starvation trying to cook fancy.
Ah, good one!
I feel like Emily is just there to give everyone a laff
Hahaha
@Seamus Can't hold my tears
as others here have commented, please ask these three to taste each other's cooking
AND please pass one spoonful of each through the screen so I can taste it too.
Unfortunately these three cookings were probably filmed on different days.
Level 1: I am a simple cook
Level 2: I am a comedic guy with good cooking skills
Level 3: I am a professional chef.
Level 4: I have climbed the Alps to get composts and manure from cows to fertilize my potatoes in Norway and grow them into a healthy state, harvest them and cook them to check the nutrients within the potato.
Aka Frank
Level 1: Mashed potatoes.
Level 2: Riced potatoes.
Level 3: Pushed through a screen door potatoes.
I've been laughing at this comment for a while now 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Best laugh I've had in a while 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Made my day😂😂😂😂
Level 3 chef: “For this simple ingredient, things get a little tricky because it doesn’t exist yet. So I built a time machine to travel into the future to retrieve it.”
Lmao my favorite comment right here
lmfao i was thinking that this whole episode. Level 3 chef went all over the world for his ingredients. Indian peppercorn, specialized hay, european salt.
lmfaooooooooooo top comment
HAHAAHAHHAHHAHAHA I laughed like a gremlin at this one
I always love it when they try it at the end, and no matter how they made it, they all still really enjoy it
I just want to note that Barry's garnish takes the same zigzag shape that I use when cutting open a baked potato. It's like art!
Lorenzo’s Recipe:
Butter, Potatoes, and Butter
you forgot Bacon
Yes, bacon. The most important part.
aaaand BACON!
Yall need some green onion too!
You forgot the butter and also the butter.
Everybody gangsta till the lvl 3 starts putting hay in his tatoes
Fluffiddy pohaytoes
Why did I read “taytoes” in Conan O’Brien’s voice lmaoooo
he lost me at waiting 36 hours for cream....i gotta plan 2 days in advance to eat potatoes? lmao
Unfortunately it’s not half a cheesecake
For real, that’s the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen seen and heard of in my life
Level 1 : Me being Lazy
Level 2 : In a mood to cook today
Level 3 : 36 hours!! WHAT !!!
I really want to go to Lorenzo's house for Sunday dinner lol, simply because you know that you're going to love whatever he's serving 😁👍
You go to his house for Sunday dinner and 3 days later he’s still cooking it.
How fitting they’d get probably the most intense pro-chef yet for, of all things, mashed potatoes.
This comment is the best. He even has the RLS going on, true intensity.
I swear
Thank them for that chef. Now I have alternative recipe to my all time favorite Thomas Keller recipe.
im surprised he didn't raise the potatoes himself so he could pick them at the right time.
gamerplay maybe he did🤷♂️
I’m surprised that the level 3 chef did not make his own potatoes
😂😂
Yup, he should have grown it
@@nicholasm4974 not grow *make*
@@nyquilrq3254 oh yeah lol, you're right 😂😂
Lol
You know what makes these different level chefs videos amazing is that I get to compare what mistakes I make while cooking and learn great cooking tips from the pros. Sometimes I do the exact same things the pro chefs are doing while sometimes I'm making really simple mistakes like level 1 chefs.
Emily dish reminds me of home with my family. family doesn't need alot of ingredients to be good just time and care.
Lorenzo dish is like what you order in a nice restaurant when you go out with friends.
Barry dish is something served at special occasions like wedding anniversary.
Lorenzo : I’m using a ricer
Me : pretty smart
Level 3 guy : don’t use a ricer
Me : yeah never use thos
Better be using hay.
You sound just like Dunkey xD
Broockle videogamedunkey? I love him
😂😂😂😂
Broockle dunkey is one of my favourite youtubers
nobody:
absolutely nobody:
level three chef: don’t come at me with your peasant hay
I died omg
PEASANT!!!
🤣🤣🤣😂👏 righttt I I'm weak
Straw* not hay
Chef level 3: Am I too rich to understand the peasant's joke?
The fancy potatoes sound scrumptious. But this working girl with 4 kids had to put things together fast. I use a can of condensed milk atraight (not sweet!) as the best milk to add. Plenty of butter, add salt and pepper, cream with my hand mixer, and serve with brown flower gravy. They are right about the Yukon Gold potatoes. My mashed potatoes always disappear fast!
You can Add store bought sour cream instead of culturing your own.
I thought condensed milk was always sweet? There's evaporated milk though -- bit thicker than regular milk, more solid colour, tastes very slightly cooked by itself.
Is it just me or is the level 3 chef doing a subtle dance routine while talking into the camera?
Looked like he really needed a bathroom break
Level 4 Chef: "These potatoes were harvested on Mars by Matt Damon."
😜🤣😜🤣
"In your face, Neil Armstrong." LOL
I don't usually like comments but dammit this got me 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao 🤣
Lol
Gordon Ramsey: “For Fucks Sake”
I knew if I scrolled down long enough I'd find this comment.
Who?
Chef Gordon Ramsey has a reputation for rather plain speaking.
Lol
RamsAy
As a person who mashes their potatoes just as how the level 3 chef does, it is a lot of effort but when you taste those mashed potatoes it's all worth it! THEY ARE SOOOOOOOO SILKY SMOOTH AND FLUFFY
Every time I watch one of these, I think. I wanna try the last one, but I think I'd enjoy the second one the most lol
They should bring in a level 0 cook that uses instant mash potatoes
Aka that collage student
Idahoan is the best box. I made these for a large group of people and i got a few requests for the recipe
Or bring in Rie, just because.
Level -1 chef orders KFC
@@rainbowcanoe17 I find that if you replace the water for milk or light cream it really improves the taste
The one thing I wish this series would do is let them taste each other’s dishes.
I think that too!
but they would have to get the level 3 chef like 2 days before the others
Or have someone taste test and vote for the one they like the best to have a winning recipe!
Then the level 1s would be level 3s
1000000% would make the show better vs the expert explains
The professional chef legit made his own butter while the level zero chef used a basic potato masher because she doesn't know about other tools that can be used 🥺
She’s level one…..
I prefer lumpy mashed potatoes, as does everyone I typically cook for, so that's what I would use as well
My family has always used a potato masher, I still do. I do it like my father did, I mash them, add butter, milk, and salt, then whip them with the masher in fast horizontal circular motions until more creamy but still somewhat firm. Easy and tasty 😋
I love Lorenzo so much. He is such a fun, happy person.
How many days in a week does lorenzo have? He makes EVERY DISH "once a week"
Michaela Vinton He makes a dish once a week every month
Thank you, yes! I thought the same thing. But then, as sheltering-in-place-because-of-Covid has taught us: WHAT EVEN IS TIME???
Michaela Vinton frllll, i wonder what he does for work
IKR, Lorenzo is hilarious
Lorenzo exists outside of the realm of time. Every week for us is a millennia for him.
am i the only one liking the chefs being extra? like thats the whole point ur a freaking chef some of them are like 20 years experienced.. why would anyone want them to cook a normal meal? GO TO THE EXTREME BOY USE THAT HAYY
glowrillaz
Exactly. These are chefs likely working in expensive fine dining. The entire point of it is to be extra
you clearly had no idea about the beauty of doing simple things to its extreme
I feel like I'd personally prefer the level 2 chef's meal in most videos, but here I'd take the level 1.
Sure, smoking potatoes with hay and adding fermented yogurt and wine may add flavour but I personally think it sounds awful. A professional musician can explain what makes Mozart amazing, yet I'd rather listen to what they consider trash. I don't doubt their credentials, but no amount of learning or experience can reason me out of my own taste profile.
And there's no way I'm eating a dessert's worth of butter in a side dish like potatoes.
Adam Robinson I agree. I’d consider myself a level 2 “chef” as well (except perhaps when it comes to certain types of baked goods) and I almost always like their dishes better..and most times they even look better as well imo.... though sometimes I find the ideas and techniques the level 3 chefs use a bit intriguing and informative tbh, so it’s always interesting to see what they have to say from a professional perspective even though the being so “extra” isn’t my personal style (nor does it fit my grocery budget).
@@twdjt6245 Yeah I agree with you here. I would also consider myself level 2, in most cases. And most of the time, the level 2 sounds more appealing, like something I would actually make. Sometime though, level 3 has some really interesting ideas that I've taken away from it; one of my favorites being Frank's level 3 nachos, with his pickled peppers and onions. The pickles don't look complicated to do, and it sounds amazing! So I'm gonna try it when I make nachos for my birthday next week 😁
But like, vodka and caviar for scrambled eggs? No thanks lol
I love Emily. She's perfect for the Level1 chef role.
Level 3 chef: touches pan to see if it´s hot enough like it was nothing, touches the trays with hot hay like it´s nothing.
Me: 😱😵
Level 2 is mashed butter with a dab of potatoes.
Stefano Torres.
🤣🤣🤣
As it should be 😌
G. Ramsey's teacher was using ratio of 1:1 for perfect mashed potatoes.
Yes.
Level 3 Chef: "I'm going to make my gravy from mermaid tears and garnished with delicate slivers of unicorn horn."
What I Ink which has been personally extracted from these creatures by my own hand
You need to have each of them taste each other’s recipes and say which they like best.
Lorenzo is a great home cook. Nothing too overboard and great flavours!
Emily: lemme just read the instructions
Lorenzo: I like a little potatoes on my
butter
Level three chef: For that reason we will be using hay
Ethan Moreno this sent me 😂😂😂
LMAO.
HAAHAHA
To be fair to the level-3 chef, smoked/toasted hay smells incredible. It's one of those ingredients you don't get until you've experienced it firsthand.
I am a level 5 chef : “I use my mind to boil the water, and I taught the potatoes to cook themselves perfectly”
😂
my potatoes and I just get perfectly baked together. foil proof.
ROFL
I am a level 10 chef, and I make butter from organic milk from a cow that I’ve carried and birthed from my womb
😂
I can't help to smile every time I see any of this dishes cooked
Level 3 sauce was looking so tasty 😍
Lorenzo has like 50 meals a day. He literally makes everything once a week.
Look at his arm he really have 50 meals a day🥴
😂😂😂
Yeah tacos every tuesday, french toast every month and now mash potatoes at least once a week
To be fair, mash potato is a very common side dish with lots of dishes.
@Nick W i feel judged
Barry's really out here being particular about selecting *his hay*
I mean you wouldn’t want to get diseases from animal urine or feces so yeah, don’t get just any hay 😂
I don’t get it
@@hellomimibanana I don't think you know where hey comes from. What you descriped is crap.
I love how they explained all the differences between the three
The level three cook is so handsome 😍
I feel like a proud parent seeing Emily starting off a Level 1 chef to slowly becoming a Level 1.5 chef 👏🏼
I dunno about that, she used instant gravy, that's like level 0
spainengland1 at least she didn’t use instant mashed potatoes 😂
No such level.
They grow so fast...
A B she’s already at her maximum potential.
I think it would be interesting to add a price to each chef’s dish..like how much did it cost to make their dish
lol worth it mashed potatoes
You mean the cost in materials only or are we ordering these at a restaurant?
I'd say in materials only, level 1 -> 7 bux, level 2 -> 15 bux, level 3 -> 50 bux or more xD
How much do Truffles go for? And how does one procure proper hay? xD The chicken alone is 15 bux right?
Level 1: 4$
Level 2: 7$
Level 3: 999.99$
@@Broockle - A jar with 3 whole black truffles cost around 25 USD.
That's not fair though, because Lorenzo will easily win after including the cost of the heart transplant he'll need after those 16 sticks of butter and the 2 pounds of bacon he put in those 6 Yukon Gold potatoes finally claims his last arterial valve. It must be time for the ticker to plug up since that's the same amount of butter and bacon he puts in literally everything he cooks on this show from eggs to meatloaf to pumpkin pie.
That level 1 chef is so relatable. That is exactly how I cook too.
The edit job on this is so good!
Nobody:
Lorenzo:
I'm going to add some mashed potatoes to my butter
I think he screwed up and added too many mashed potatoes...
That last dab of butter before the Bacon was the final straw for me. Man has a problem. I love Butter, heck everyone loves butter. But man has it bad.
High end restaurants use a ratio of up to 2:1 potatoes to butter by weight. So in comparison he used barely any butter.
That last piece of butter in his plating just made me cringe

Wow! I never knew someone could make those level 3 potatoes!!! So much work , I was lost when he waited 30 some hours for the cream to ferment, buy special hay and truffles!!! I would be exhausted. I would love to eat at his restaurant!
The really interesting thing about this one is each of them has made perfect mashed potatoes. All very different, but because there is a range of criteria, each hits a perfect set of them.
Each, they are perfect for what the recipe demands! And we demand their recipes!
level 1: i get the cheapest potatoes

After Barry said "la ratte potatos" i knew he wasn't kidding and the game was serious. You don't pull out your la ratte unless you really have to. And I wasn't disappointed a bit. Bravo
"ayo bro, why is your food so expensive, is it 'cause of the potatoes or something"
*"HAY"*
"what"
"i only use top-quality hay"
"wtf bro"
Emily: Makes pretty bland potatoes
Lorenzo lord of butter: BUTTER is my religion
Level three chef: These potatoes have every single possible taste imaginable, that you will start to see colors
We usually do see colors 🤔
Butter is my religion 😂
Idk what you mean. Emily’s potatoes were the best looking
Level 3: and your clothes will come off (eyyyyyyyy)
@@danielledavis2794 not if ur colorblind
Norma person: I am gonna add my salt and pepper.
Level 3 chef:
I am gonna add my salt which is from Mars and pepper from Jupiter
Lol
Chef: this is smoked salt
Me: I know you’re smoking the salt if you think that makes a difference in taste.
Weird, I never knew that the UK was on Mars and that India was on Jupiter. TIL.
Gotta get that space flavor, son.
the camp-ness of this video is simply unparalleled. Bring Barry back; he's the funniest level 3 chef and I demand justice
4:00 uhhh sir... I cant wait for that long 😐
Barry: hand made butter cultured for 36 hours
Emily: say "shoobi-doo-wap" to make store-bought butter magical
Emily: *Takes 30 mins to make a dish*
Butterenzo: *Takes 1 hour to make a dish*
Barry’s Customers: *Dies of Starvation*
I know right ? 36 hours for room temperature? When tf does he eat
Cook do a lot of prep works guys, this stuff is done the day before, or before opening. They work hard.
Dustin charles true when preparing desserts some take a few days e.g. bara brith or ........ice cream etc
Auro butterenzo
@@Otherhats Yeah! And if you are doing this at home you just have to do like 1/2kg and you won't have to make more butter for a long time (unless you are Butterenzo) xd
Honestly I love Lorenzo’s the best. It’s calming basic and like homemade mashed potato’s
That level 3 looks delicious.
His mashed potatoes look good too.
Uhh
Ok
calm down there
