It's the Dance of Joy from Perfect Strangers

I have no intentions of cooking 99% of these recipes, but man that doesn’t stop me from enjoying this channel. This channel is like therapy.

Bacon, potatoes, onions and cheese, OMG food of the gods!

"You could use a mild cheddar if you'd like, Colby." Thanks, I think I will!

I love watching this channel because you’re not an ingredient snob who says “you simply must use butter churned in scotland from 100% Irish dairy cows and sea salt from the Mediterranean or else this recipe will not work!” Not everyone can afford to spend exorbitant amounts of money for ingredients that have very cheap substitutes, and 99.9% of the time a recipe will work just fine with a cheaper substitute. I thank you for being the one youtube cook who acknowledges this and doesn’t shame me.

Even better, when he says something like, "Now, for this, I wanted to use XXXXX, which is fantastic - if you can get it, I highly recommend it - but sadly, I just couldn't find any. All the places near us where we usually buy it were sold out. But I had this YYYYY already in the pantry, just the regular stuff from the supermarket, but that's OK. Absolutely fine. It'll still be delicious."

Descriptive rather than prescriptive. This is why I love your channel!

I find it hilarious that people freak out about Glen giving options for substitutions when he emphasizes that a lot of his videos are more about the technique/idea than actual recipes that you have to follow to the T.

Plus it's hard to know how to fix something if you screw it up pre-bake but only realize it's not working how you intend during the late stages of the cooking. People just want instructions that you can't screw up. I was trying to describe how i make braised ribs to a friend and I was terrible at giving a recipe because i made it enough times to know how things should look, or the basic stuff like "braised meat should be mostly covered by liquid, so put enough liquid to cover enough of it, not a specific amount"

Radishes and turnips are two things I've seen used to replace potatoes. Maybe parsnip?

Good bit of cooking advice I got over the past year: Make the same recipe the same way multiple times before making major changes. That way you build up a little experience and hopefully understand the method and how it "feels" to make it. So in that context, having a recipe is pretty useful.

I love this dish! Please remind people to check out their local Farmers Market for potatoes, onions, garlic, & sometimes the cheese & bacon. The farmers need our support.

Hey Glen. Just a note to say thanks for your channel. I really appreciate your knowledge and that you aren't a food activist of some kind. There's not a lot of cooking content that is normies cooking every day. Cheers

Glenn did his happy dance (or a variation of it). FOLKS, WE HAVE A WINNER!

I love Jules, she just jumps right in haha

Wow. The Bob Ross of cooking. No mistakes, just happy accidents. Any combinations will work to your taste. Great stuff!! Thanks!!

For the "recipe" vs "method" question, I always follow a recipe the first time I make a new dish to give myself a baseline to modify from. So I have an idea of how the dish is supposed to look at different stages (wetness etc.) and it makes it easier for me to modify and then correct so I don't end up with for example a too dry meal in the end.

Glen, I just have to say thank you. Your videos are so informative, relaxing, and ENCOURAGING! I didn’t grow up knowing how to cook beyond basic pasta or frying bacon. Every video I watch, I take something away-whether it’s some wisdom (or laughs) from the Old Cookbook Show, or encouragement to trust the process and experiment with my own tastes/products I have in my pantry.

My Niece made something like this using frozen hash browns. It was great! I can no longer grade vegetables. For those of us in this boat, it makes a great substitution.

That's actually a really (no pun intended) great idea since frozen hash browns are literally just grated potatoes. Plus, it makes it better for a weeknight meal that you can toss together in less than an hour.

I love the concept about learning a method and not a recipe. It's how I tend to cook. Thanks for all you do and teach.

Love this channel. Glen is a wonderful teacher and a fellow Ontarian!

I personally LOVE that you give alternatives, and don't fixate on one particular way of doing it. Watching this channel for a couple of years has really changed my mindset in terms of how I approach cooking. I'm much more relaxed, and feel free to have fun and experiment in the kitchen. It's so valuable to me that I understand the principles of why something works, because then I can improvise solutions. If I don't have wine in the house - I'll just use some stock and a splash of vinegar. In most dishes it works a treat!

My family does something very similar but using hash browns which makes it a lot easier from start to finish. Perhaps next time doing baked potatoes, I'll throw some extras in and make this!

Shredding my baked potatoes, nice. I prebake potatoes for all kinds of things, quick fried potatoes, potato sandwiches, salads.. but this is something I hadn't tried, thanks for sharing!

So glad I found your channel. I cook the same way...intuitively. It allows for so much creativity and makes it much more fun!

So you've recreated the Swiss dish Rösti! It's a fantastic dish and immensely popular in Switzerland as a breakfast dish or a snack for people driving long distances available at highway rest stops.

You guys nail it every single time. Absolutely love this channel and both of you. 💖

I live in the Mid-South, Memphis area and I've heard of funeral potatoes for years.

This reminds me of as a kid, when we went on vacation, it always required a 8 to 12 hour drive. We always left at 3 or 4am and then would stop on the side of the road and have breakfast. My dad would make this on a portable gas braai (South African word for our equivalent of a BBQ). Good memories.

drooling....lived in Utah for 18 years and funeral potato's are a local staple so much so that it is actually a highly joked about topic...but damn I love them!

You all and Kent Rollins should get together sometime if possible. I think you'd get along wonderfully with your all's philosophy of cooking and about life in general, and you could both dance after tasting the collaborative tastiness :)

Thank you Glen! For me the method is so much more important. I can use what I have on hand, or what we prefer, and make the dish something my family will like. The method is so much more beneficial to the way I cook than the actual recipe!

Glen, I have to say, I like your idea of "take it as a method instead of a recipe". Excellent potatoes!!!

New or experienced- everyone cooking for themselves needs Glen . He’s a safe capable teacher who is as enthusiastic about food as he is about sharing it. BRAVO!

You could use a mix of cheeses in that. If you grate odd bits and ends of cheeses, and throw them in the freezer as a routine, you will allways have a mix of cheese to use in this kind of things.

I LOVE funeral potatoes.

I really like that you concentrate on the method. As you often say the ingredients are up to you. Understand the method, and you can go far. Except for baking. "Cooking is an art, baking is a science". There can be a variety of ingredients, the main science ratios still apply.

Switch out the cheese for Colby and you've got a pretty good approximation of Cracker Barrel's Hashbrown Casserole.

I love all the variations you describe and agree, it's the method, not the recipe.

I really like that you just give these recipes as more of a concept than a "make this exactly or else someone will come and hurt you". I know I for one look for shortcuts all over the place and still end up with something that tastes great. So what if it isn't worthy of going on the cover of some fancy food magazine 😆 Also the bits of "or you could use x instead" just opens it up to thinking outside the box and ending up with something differently awesome!

Glen dropping all the knowledge in this video. Thank you!

Adding cumin, marjoram and smoked paprika made this divine.

I love the variations you suggest! I get lost in thought thinking of my own variations and have to rewind a bit, which I don't mind. You are so right that the method is what is important.

Glen, please keep discussing variations to your recipes or "methods" as these options cause aspiring amateur cooks to THINK about alternatives to the dish they are attempting . Thinking usually breeds CREATIVITY (culinary and otherwise!) which makes U a betta' person!. Keep doin' what ya doin' MOI

Had to try this immediately. I substituted sour cream for tzatziki and used boiled potatoes. And I seasoned it with nutmeg as well... Turned out fantastic!

I’m with you on the sour cream Glen. The taste of unadulterated sour cream is a wonder! As is carefully crafted cottage cheese and yogurt.

Super delicious looking recipe. Clever use of saw horses to make an outdoor serving table. 👌

I watch most of your videos. I like how you encourage people to experiment or "make the recipe your own." I like to cook and I like to experiment. That's nothing against a recipe. I learn how to do things as much as what to put in things. Lots of times, I simply can't get all of the ingredients in my small town. Lots of times, I don't have the equipment you have. But I still like to watch.

love this video I just saw it today. I love his method and keeping it simple and for me the best dishes are simple. I'm retired now so I have more time for cooking going to try this out in a few days. TY Glen

Any leftovers? This sounds delicious. With the happy dance it was a great dish. I will have to make this soon.

I had no idea you could use the garlic that way! Thank you for the tip and the wonderful recipe!

This is now my favorite potato recipe. I’m making it for a second time. Thanks for a great channel with so many interesting recipes.

I made this last night and really enjoyed it. Due to food allergies I had to make major substitutions and it still made a satisfying main dish with an amazing flavor. When making it again I will follow Glens recommended baking temperature for the baked potatoes, I think mine could have been a bit more moist than ideal.

I see I’m not the only one that uses a piece of shelf liner under the cutting boards. Life hack for the win!

In the recipe you have put in the video, the garlic is mentioned twice. I have printed your recipe and can't wait to try it.. this will make a great side dish at an Aussie barbie!

Loving this recipe, something newish..and yup Glen did a 'Twist' must mean ooohhh aaaahhhh it's good!

I always keep the vinegar from my pickled Jalapeños and add a small amount to stuff like this, it adds a nice chilli heat and some acidity. Its also REALLY good with fish & chips.

Every time I hear in a recipe someone say "put what you want" I immediately think : nuttmeg :D

I got this video just as I found myself with a huge pile of leftover baked potatoes. Thank you, Glen, because my family is having and *excellent* meal now!

Yep. Going to definitely give this one a try.

Hi Glenn and company. While I am no longer eating sour cream (medical wont bore you). When I did Western creamery was my go to sour cream. It has a go to flavour that's a touch above anything else I've tasted. We live in SW Newfoundland nowadays and here 90% of sour cream is "artificially soured" and for me and my family yucky. Foodstuff is one of the few - very few things I miss from Ontario. Boy are we compensated in other things thou. Fresh lobster of the boat yesterday for one (cheaper too). Have a good day and bon appetit.

This is so good!

I never thought of aged cheddar as a great melter, but even if the cheese isn't the greatest melter, throwing in a single slice of American cheese will make it melt wonderfully. Since I grow my own garlic, I'm definitely going to try green garlic!

Love this

Glen I love your method videos. It's the best. Your one pan chicken and rice videos are a staple in my household now. I just change the flavorings and adjust a few ingredients and BAM!!! New dish.

Giving options just makes it easier to get the mind thinking of what you can do for your tastes and make the same thing multiple times without feeling like it's been over-served each time. Well played, to be honest in giving the main way at the end but also giving the many different styles you can go by.

I'll bet this is delicious! Can't wait to try it. It seems to be an easier, more rustic, less delicate version of Potatoes Romanoff.

That looks fantastic really useful recipe that can be tweaked with what its going with or what you need to use up. Thank you
