I’m 60 and I was taught by my mum that if it grew underground it went into cold water and if it grew above ground you out it in boiling water 👍

I love this “down home” teaching moment--although I am 80 years old and have owned 3 San Francisco Restaurants I don’t think I have ever seen a roasting technique presented as well as this video! Aloha Nui loa from Kona Hawaii

Please don't put salted water on your plants! It kills them. Unsalted potato or bean water is great though. These potatoes look so delicious. Thank you, Poppy. 😊

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!

I'm so glad to see you doing full length videos. That was a lot of fun and the finished potatoes looked amazing. Although, if I had to pick a favorite way to eat potatoes, it would be a nice, simpe baked/jacket potato slathered in just an obscene amount of butter.

You're such a pleasure to watch; thank you! Seeing as you were willing to seer yourself for it, you've sold me on this process & will definitely be giving 'em a try

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.

I'm happy I found your new videos!! 💜 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!

Yay! Poppy has a new video after three years. Glad to see you back! Too bad you didn't beat Bobby Flay with your Bangers and Mash.☹

Saw you over at Sorted Food first. Looking forward for more.

I started doing my roasties like this after seeing you do it, and everyone raves about them... Thanks 😛

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 ☺

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

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.

I live a nice red desiree for roasties. Its what i learned from delia smith when i was a new wife 35 years ago and still keep going back to them

Yay, roasties!

My dorm dining room served the best potato soup. We learned that whenever we had fries (chips) at lunch, we'd have the soup in the evening, made with potato peels from that afternoon's French fries.

I always swear by avocado oil, especially when roasting in the oven. It has a pretty high smoking point plus it is crazy good for your digestive system. It’s also a pretty neutral oil as far as flavor. Very much worth the extra money.

I think I'm in love.

Nice one..subscribed!

Love the video. !! I never understood the flake salts that are thrown on dry things and fall off . Maybe just the cooking salts are enough ?

I always use veg oil and butter but I blanch the spuds, chopped up smallish not bigger than 2 inches and cook at 200c for 40 minutes tossing them every 10 to 15 minutes.

Russet,---- Idaho. Same potato depending where in the world you are.

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'm not sure you can water plants with the potato water if it has all that salt in it. Won't the salt kill the plants? Other than that, love the recipe!

There are points where you're clearly thinking and getting the aol dial tone 😂 Gunna try this though.

For me: gratin Savoyard, but then I like roasted as well. So far I've never bothered to pre-heat the dish/oil... I'll give that a go next time.

It's first week of July so my potatoes are all first and second earlies I've grown myself (I say "myself", I feel like if I was left out of the equation after planting it wouldn't have made a huge difference). Still gonna try this, but British Queen or Maris bard probably not ideal.

The potatoes look amazing. I am wondering how I can get the rest of my meal to be ready at the same time the potatoes will be ready. I want a chicken (whole or pieces), potatoes, sweat potatoes, carrot and peas. I think I need a separate potato oven :)

As a rule, I agree that root veg should be put into cold water and then brought up to the boil. However, my domestic science teacher (yes, I am that old !!) taught us that new, or salad potatoes, should be added to boiling water to retain the vitamin C. Who am I to question who is right?!!🤣

Avocado oil, and Rice Bran oil both have high smoke points and are healthier than using beef or duck fat, super crispy results! (not that roast potatoes are health food, a melted butter & oil mix goes well too, but don’t tell my Doctor 😂)

I miss good old-fashioned UK roast potatoes, but in Western Australia we just don't have those spud varieties available, thanks to the thankfully now defunct Potato Protection Board (no joke!). Any suggestions as to what variety I shou8ld use?
