POV: Cooking (Probably) the Best Potato Dish in the World

Jacques Pepin! The Master! ♥

When you truly like potatoes nothing beats a perfectly baked potato with a bit of butter and salt. So, you can taste the potato. Yum!

What a lovely recipe! I copied it to the recipe file in my notes app along with the video. I’m looking forward to making it, it looks delicious. Thank you!

Beautiful!♥️

I'm going to give someone an aneurysm, but I thought this was potatoes au gratin off the thumbnail...

If i would ad mushrooms and bacon in the unions. Would i need to do something different in this process?

Watching this made me frustrated

Great vid

I'll have 5 plates please!! Also Chef. May I have some aged Sharp cheddar? Yes, thank you.

This is a cardiologist nightmare but I'm sure it is delicious. I will definitely make one for the kids. You gotta die for something 😊

I would eat the entire thing in one sitting, right out of the pan. It looks so perfect! 😭

This "recipe" shows why you should never trust a British "chef" - they only know how to boil food!

The temperatures are crap!!! You will NEVER achieve the results depicted in thise video without temps over 190C

"I dont think there's a better potato than that, on the face, of PLANET EARTH" I would have to agree. Holy hell man.

Excellent work.

What a unique show! I enjoy all your detail that results in perfection, along with the explanations. I never thought about using a cartouche over the potatoes. I'm not much of a onion eater, but this technique intrigues me. Very nice presentation. You're a true artist.😊

Someday I’ll be able to taste something like that ☺️💭
But wait! It’s only potatoes, onions, butter and stuff… So I can do this home with only 20 hours of time 😃

That looks great. Looking forward to trying that, I can see it requires patience!

Who on Earth has the time to do all that work?

Nice i could make this with some vegetables in between the layers like eggplant or courgette hmm

I'd love to be a chef but the idiot on the drums that follows you around all day would annoy the hell out of me.

Is Tom Hanks ?

Do these pagans even know what olive oil is?

I totally thought from the thumbnail, this was mike birbiglia.

Oh man. I’m so trying this, just with Earth Balance and veggie stock. Looks like it’ll go great with sautéed mushrooms and a roasted garlic, onion and pepper medley.

Can this be done without beef stock?

Personally, it sounds terrible! Potatoes baked in a liquid over mushy onions...? The whole thing sounds weird I'm sorry...a beef broth? Mushy potatoes and butter in between....? I LOVE experimenting w potatoes but think I'll pass on this one ..

Is your town the home of Lancashire pie? That was a favorite of US President Andrew Johnson?

Fabulous dish. I can see why, at the start of this video, he is so proud. It’s a little difficult. The onions, when you are done, will not look like his. The dish, when you pull it out the fourth time, will not look like his. It takes patience, and at elevation, takes more time. Be more sparingly on the ladling of the beef broth; it takes a long time to reduce. When it’s done, it is fantastic, but there are literally 100 great potato dishes that take half to a third as much time.

Add cheese. It looks like nachos. Maybe sour cream on top (and chives).

Best potato dish is poutine from quebec wym

So the only instruction you missed is how long does it go in at 130 AFTER you’ve removed the paper. I believe it was the third time it went into the oven, but you didn’t say how long it was in there.

Is there a cheese version of the dish?

I made traditional Poutine 🇨🇦🙋‍♀️

pan full of poison. just eat the butter.

Where is meat here?

WOW !That looks Great I will definitely try making this ⭐

Looks great, the only draw back is the time.

So your calling a dish you created the best in the world..K..a chef with a gigantic ego how refreshing..😊

My cholesterol went up just looking at this.

what size and type is the pan - thanks

Nice recipe but it's a Ronney kick to the liver. 😆

WOW

Maybe if I had a personal chef that needed something to do. I don’t know that the reward is worth the time and effort.

Looks delicious 😋 but hell might has well walk yourself to the cardiology department at the hospital after eating this

Wow that looks so delicious!❤

Delicious! That remid me of another fantastic and simpler French potato dish called "Pommes de terre sarladaises". Only potatoes, duck fat and garlic. 👌

And this is why I'll never be a great chef. Decent home cook? Sure. But I do not have the time, patience, or desire to spend 4 hours making 1 dish that I could get 80% of the flavor in 1/8 of the time and 1/20 the effort.
